It was amazing to listen to.

As I was driving along, I was actually angry.

I was depressed, and I was actually angry.

I think that describes me, and frustrated.

Because the weird thing was, and most detectives don't do this, to their credit.

We have lots of good detectives here.

But for some reason, they believed from the get-go That the answers they got from the witnesses had to match a preordained theory that they, you know, this thing was so fresh, the investigation was so fresh, but yet they had already concluded that, oh, since the guy running out of the house is apprehended by the cops, he has to be the shooter.

So that was never brought into question.

So she's going to have a neutral person, I assume a lawyer of some kind.

Yeah, there's a University of Chicago.

I think it's a University of Chicago professor who's involved.

But that person's just kind of assisting the process.

It's not like that person's going to have any power to conduct investigations depositions or examinations.

So right now we're at the first stage, which is just gathering the documents that are relevant.

And certainly these are not documents the U.S. Attorney's Office wants to produce, you know, the internal communications, because already Boutros, who is the U.S. Attorney in Chicago, took a public position and before the court that he didn't know certain things.

It's their choice, right, Mike?

It captivated the country for a while and it continues to do so.

Yeah, it just doesn't seem like it'll go away.

It's kind of a three pronged attack since we last spoke.

You know, number one, the majority of the jurors going public, being interviewed on TV, all that sort of stuff, you know, and basically making the contention that, gee, the holdout juror wasn't listening to us and wasn't applying reasonable doubt.

Then you have the big, I don't know if it's the same level of bombshellness, but you have the Patrick Clancy 60-minute interview coming up, right, where he and his new wife are talking about all the abuse they've been subjected to.

And she's been like stalked on social media.

Why are they doing that? Why are they doing that, Mike? I don't know.

From a mindset standpoint, from a mental standpoint, that is a tough exercise to go through as a defendant in that

Walk us through a couple of the broad strokes here.

Sure.

So first of all, it's called the Illinois End-of-Life Options Act.

I think that was a very intentional choice.

And of course, the people who are opposing it say it's a suicide act, it's a death act or whatever.

But essentially what it does is it allows an individual, not someone acting for the individual, to make the choice to end their life.

And it has certain requirements.

What happens next?
