Thank-you cards to deputies?

This morning's Northwest Herald article explains more about the "cards" in the Branham case, about which I wrote yesterday. It seems that "Fiance" sent thank-you cards to deputies for arresting her boyfriend.

The defense had subpoenaed the cards and other information, and the State had filed a motion to quash that subpoena. Judge Prather ordered the evidence given to her for her inspection in camera. Yesterday she ordered that the cards were to be given to the defense attorney, Hal Stinespring.

Now what person sends thank-you cards to detectives after colluding with them as a Confidential Informant to get her boyfriend arrested? Hello???

And has sex with the detective to whom she is providing information that leads to the arrest?

That sexual involvement is presented in detail in the Motion by the defense that is on file with the McHenry County Circuit Court. Is it true? I guess, just because it is written in a Motion filed with the Court, it is their statement of belief. Its veracity will be determined in court.

And then there is "the dress"... Is this a "Monica Lewinsky" re-run? (No offense, Monica.)

Now, who is the Confidential Informant? She is identified as "Fiance". Today's Northwest Herald article says that "According to court documents, his (Branham's) fiance had contacted police..." Is she the Confidential Informant? Seems so. I have her name but, since it hasn't appeared in Court documents or the media, I'm not publishing it. Yet. Actually, I'm not really sure why I'm not...

The Northwest Herald doesn't provide the timeline for Trouble's rendezvous with Slick. "Trouble"? - the C.I. And "Slick"? Det. Jason Novak of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department.

Readers would be shocked to learn the time intervals here. They are in the public court record.
