I haven’t been to WMRM in a while, but thanks eds for your diligence the last week. And these updates today are compelling.

Watching carefully out here in rainy CA!
Its rainy DC today too!
So, the boys came in together…they DO read this blog! Is Dylan tanned? Does he smell of seusual massage oils?
More importantly, how is his physique looking?
According to eyewitness accounts, Dylan looked much better (tanned, rested, and ready), than usual, and was escorted by a dashing, bearded gentleman. Florida has been good to him, apparently. I guess that he’s hoping for “a happy ending” for himself, after all.
Gosh, I hope ShakyCam is in attendance, or even his cousin, SteadyCam.

Or does Dylan smell like a brand new car, like my Knight in Black Leather? — (Bette Midler)
He probably smells of a 75 year old man…his last client.
Eewwwww
No paralytic drugs. No sexual assault.
The murder was a sudden, uuexpected, stunningly forceful stabbing by a person known to and trusted by Wone. Expect this person to confess by the next status hearing.
You can thank me now.
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains.
I think I’ll assign an intern to check out the track record of your previous prognostications. Then again, why don’t you do that for us, so there can absolutely be no possible bias.
Dylan,
Your client is paying for your full attention — you shouldn’t be trying to type on your phone at the same time.
Perhaps Ben Dylin’s most recent client was served a welcoming glass of water, and was also soon fast asleep.
just how much can one charge the blue haired octogenarian set for a dirty sanchez these days?
Plenty, it would seem.
Looking pasty and tired (according to eyewitnesses), Victor and Joe really need to get into business with a tanned and newly-confident Dyl. A six-handed “sports” massage at an assisted living community, either in Miami or Fort Lauderdale, would be just what the Doctor ordered!
Editors, will the blood spot on Dyl’s blankie be identified during the next status hearing, or during the Frye hearings to be held later in April? If that blood is from the actual assailant, then would the defense seek to settle this one ASAP?
Clio,
First, so glad you had little birdie in the court to report on the soggy spring goings on at the moultrie nest.
Second, and this is just a guess, that little blood spot may not have turned out to be a blood spot at all. We have heard about the unidentified palm print, but nothing about the comforter spot, so it may not have turned out to be blood after all. Again, just a guess.
