Footnote? Is that what I’m regulated to? A footnote? Surely a pagragraph will be a greater honor! Ha!

Whoops, Researcher, if irate doesn’t watch his step, he too could end up a footnote in somebody’s pleading one day.

There was nothing about Hood receiving a target letter in the hearing. The Target-WalMart joke was not in the transcript. It was a satirical post by iratetoday in the long, long thread the day after the hearing. See Comment #118

Gearhart 6, you've come to the right place -- at least as to parts of your question. The other day, our pal "watching closely" very kindly gave us a target letter show-and-tell, complete with the gummint's own sample of one.

I have also read the transcript and didn’t see any question to Hood about a target letter. I do remember a joke about it, with Hood’s response being that he’d have to ask Courtney whether he got anything from Target, all he remembered was seeing a WalMart circular.

Hatfield and/or NMC,
I have read the Natchez transcript and I do not recall that question or response. I would think that there would have been more comment about that if that were in there. Can one of you point out the passage about a target letter to Hood? I don’t see it.

i always hear of these “target letters” and i have talked to many people who know what they think they are but don’t really know what they are. what exactly is a target letter? or perhaps better, what is the point of a target letter? and also, how and why would state farm know who received them? also, how did state farm know about the meal between hood and patterson/balducci? do they have well-placed sources? aren’t these grand jury proceedings secret by law?
