4017863788: Hello?
4013559985: Alicia?
4017863788:Yes?
4013559985: It's Patty.
4017863788:Oh, hi.  How did it go?
4013559985:They're not letting Rusty out.
4017863788:What?
4013559985:They wouldn't even let me talk to him.
4017863788:What?  What do you mean?
4013559985:They said he's in protective custody.
4017863788:Protective...that's not right.  They threatened us.
4013559985:They don't seem to see it that way.  They did tell me the charges.
4017863788:What?
4013559985:Conspiracy to overthrow the state.  Complicity in assisting Starkweather.  He hasn't been indicted.
4017863788:But he didn't know Starkweather was a traitor.
4013559985:That'll come out in the grand jury.  That's not set until next week.
4017863788:Isn't he free to go until then?
4013559985:Not these guys.  Once you're in, you're in.  Sorry, Alicia.
4017863788:You did tell them you're his lawyer.
4013559985:I did, and by law they have to tell him.  It's up to him to decide whether he wants to retain me.  I'll call you if he does.
4017863788:Okay, Patty.  Thanks for your help.
4013559985:Anytime, hon.  Bye.
4017863788:Bye.
