I love Bob. Although he looks a little tired in the video, and his hair is somewhat flat. His comments were spot on. As a personal challenge, I pledge to use the phrase "the elevator did not go all the way to the top" within the next 24 hours.

Gloria Lee is one card short of a full deck and one fry short of a happy meal. Of course, I like the elevator comment too. Go Bob! Her baby can be born in the clink. Incarceration, ain't it a bitch?
The real question for me is was it "twoo wuv" with a happy coincidence or did she sucker some poor sap into making a non refundable 18 year reverse annuity deposit in a vain attempt at leniency?
Bonus points to this post is that the ReCaptch test was a satellite picture of Subic Bay with the word OLONGAPO.
From what the video said and what I have read it was her estranged husband (the one she initially tried to blame and have the investigation focus on). Talk about a dumbass. Your estranged spouse tries to throw you under the bus so you decide to go back to her and on top of that knock her up. You can't make this stuff up.
"18 year reverse annuity deposit" — I wuv you! Men can be weak, and a woman like Lee knows how to speak the language of seduction, directly into the mic, as it were.
Intentionally getting pregnant and then saying oopsie is always in a woman's bag of tricks. Beware!

The sad reality is that Ms. Lee does not care about the baby. Since the baby is of no use to her, she will probably ask for and receive an abortion, generously paid for by the taxpayers of the State of Nevada. So, in the end, she will have failed to kill the puppies but will succeed in killing a child of God with the assistance of the state. Sad.
Well, not all of you will make it. Some of you won't ever get a job as an attorney. That's just the law of supply and demand. Some of you will get jobs as attorneys, but will be skewered in these comments for your incompetence or lack of ethics/shame. Most of you will go on to be regular attorneys, and have fulfulling, but at times, frustrating careers. Regardless, your life will go on, and people will love you and you will love people and that's all that matters in the end.
I don't understand how 20,000 people over four years each agreed to pay $320, in exchange for a shop owner's agreement to not call police and report theft.
Probably need more info than what is available online, but look like prima facie extortion, no?
Thank you, Ms. Kruze, for posting this very intriguing article. I am also troubled by this "program" and agree that it amounts to extortion and further facilitates discrimination against minorities who are too often wrongfully targeted as criminals. Despite CEC's "statement" of good intentions, they are doing far more wrong than good in offering their "services" to numerous retailers with stores in Nevada.

Solid Las Vegas business owner!

Hoping they protect the baby so she doesn't try to light it on fire like the puppies.
Haha. Nicely done.
Lee is pretty hot. Put her and Jodi Arias in the same cell and let the fun begin …
Best of luck to new attorneys. It's looking a bit dire out there. Chin up, you will make it.

Too bad Chapter 40 just tried up (allegedly). That was a source of jobs for you. Blah!

Wonder if they ran it by their lawyer first?
