Thanks!

Thanks so much for doing this, I wasn't able to attend the forum. And sorry it took awhile before a docent was on to release it from the spam filter.

Great work, Cosmo!

It is awesome to be able to play each person's testimony individually.

Downloadable?

How do I download these clips? I want to take them with me on my portable MP3 player . . .

You can get the MP3 links from right-clicking and viewing source. But because it's kinda tricky, I'll just add the links directly to this comment. Just right click on each of these and choose Save As.

TJ's Closing Remarks

I hope someone adds TJ's closing remarks too. They were excellent. Did you get them Cosmo?

left before end . . .

Sorry, I ran out of Flash card space after the panel with Drew and Gus, as it was, I had to record some it already compressed, which makes editing a bit quicker.  I do have some more, which I'll try to process in the next few days, quite a bit more, in fact, probably 45 minutes or so.  I missed out on some of the most emotionally charged testimony, however, as I went to get replacement batteries out of the Cosmobile.

For full disclosure, I did edit out some "ums" "ands" and "ahs" to save time, and for playability, but nothing else.

More! Please!

Thanks SO much for doing this! Could we get the rest of the testimonials up? I'm especially interested to hear Katie and Patsy Hutchison, the twins, and the woman who read the statement at the beginning from the mother, and everyone else. Thanks!

I'm sorry, that was one of the panels I missed, when I was getting replacement batteries, and an additional flash card, consarn it!
