Says Owens, Adams and Billie Lane can fuck themselves. Conversation with JD follows. Sarah's bloodwork came back "negative," she's going to have an ultrasound. Sarah is defensive about Lawyer Kate deciding not to take her case. Sarah complains that the 2 hour meeting was a waste of time and caused her to miss her chance to move to a dorm with A/C. JD explains that she will only achieve her goals if she learns to be less aggressive and insulting to those in a position to help her.

She tries to figure out how to get affidavit to PG so he can file. Sarah needs PG to write a motion for a Guardian At Litem because neither "idiot" Judge Dean nor Judge Jackson have ordered one.

Sarah asks PG to send a vinyl record to son. She's irritated that, the day before, Brian didn't want her to phone again after she'd already had four calls with son. She urges PG to get his power of attorney notarized because they "can't go around flaunting it if it's not official." (She has already flaunted it in Apr 22 Motion to Compel) Sarah anticipates the Meeting of Attorneys and Unrepresented Parties as a chance to avoid trial. She is confused by the Certificate of Compliance that Martell filed and tries to figure out if it's a response to her request for additional financial records - looking at it upsets her. Sarah wants PG to send her paperwork in an envelope with his lawyer's name and bar number on it so it will be processed like legal mail - PG declines.

Sarah's voice bristles with irritation over PG's lack of progress on her behalf. PG asks her to have someone else order the Easter gift because these tasks often become complicated and time consuming. Sarah is upset by this and by the fact that he hasn't filed the Guardian at Litem motion yet (she put this on his plate just two weeks prior on Apr 28th). PG emphasizes his lack of time and the overwhelming nature of his own life, stressing that he is not getting paid for his help and is trying to support his own family. He questions why she needs him to file all her motions when she used to do all that on her own. She explains it was easier in the county jail, plus the clerks at the prison law library treat her badly. When PG reminds her to focus on making a Parenting Plan and trying to figure out a way to settle out of court, she responds that she was told Martell had already filed his Pre-Trial Statement without her, making it look like once again she refused to participate in mediation. Sarah tells PG to email Martell to find out what's going on.
May 12 2025 - Sarah exchanges emails with PG [Reddit]
Sarah accuses PG of trying to shame her for asking about the status of the Easter gift and mocks his busy schedule. PG sends a message that, per his attorney, he cannot file legal items for her. He will not be her Power of Attorney. Sarah responds saying he has abandoned her like everyone else. PG explains that he has helped as much as possible, out of kindness not obligation, but going forward he needs to limit his involvement and focus on the documentary - so long as she refrains from speaking harshly to him. Sarah says she didn't speak to him harshly, she was just trying to get as many of her questions answered as possible. She is unsure what she's supposed to do now or if she is allowed to still call him. She wants to call him the next day so he can catch her up on anything she need to know before her hearing which is in 14 days.

Sarah feels unprepared for tomorrow's Hearing. PG asks if the list of things she needed to have ready was in the judge's pretrial conference order and Sarah agrees that it was but she is behind because she received that document 17 days late. (Judge filed on Apr 28 and Sarah was speaking about its contents 6 days later). She is supposed to file a Mandatory Disclosure but doesn't know what that means. It was due by May 5th but she wasn't told in a timely manner (Disclosures mention in March 26 Court Minutes and April 28 Order). They will ask her why she isn't ready for the hearing and she admits that they will see through her excuse of having no pen and paper. She doesn't know if she's allowed to bring her tablet to the hearing, but she's going to anyway. She has to bring her tablet because she hasn't had time to complete any handwritten notes. Sarah is concerned appellate attorney Josh Adams won't meet his filing deadline. She has sent many letters and wants PG to also contact him.

Sarah mentions needing to write a motion so that she can attend the trial unshackled. She describes how useless the recourses are at the Law Library. PG is surprised when she mentions she has pen and paper, but she quickly explains it's only three pieces and a borrowed pen.

Sarah feels anxious because she only has two and a half weeks to do her Parenting Plan, Pre-Trial Statement and motions to be unshackled and to close the courtroom to the public. Sarah's heard that youtubers are planning to come to her family trial to heckle her but PG says he hasn't seen anything like that being said online.

She won't have her tablet back for another week and won't be able to get her Pre-Trial Statement and Parenting Plan done by the deadline. She's upset because she worked so hard (to the point she got a Disciplinary Report for it) to get Martell sanctioned and to be given extra time to file her documents. Sarah wants PG to email the Judicial Assistant today to explain her situation without making a global announcement about her surgery and to also ask them to close the courtroom because of the vicious youtubers. She wants PG to contact the criminal court clerk about Josh Adams. This call labeled as June 21st on the channel.

July 11 2025 - CALL - Episode 4: Ask Me If I Care
PG says he's not going to have time to get her Pre-Trial Statement done, but Sarah says it's just an easy cut and paste job. Sarah still has more pages to send him. PG says that he originally expected to be able to have this all done by today, but that is not how Sarah remembers it and she suggests there's something wrong with him. She's not prepared to do it herself because she has no pen or paper. She says her other outside resource has not been responding to her and PG says it's probably because they are still mad at her regarding a disagreement over a document. Sarah responds "ask me if I care." PG agrees to try to finish the Statement by Monday, but he is concerned about how much work is still required, particularly without the help of the other outside resource. Sarah says he's making a mountain out of a mole hill. She is worried that PG is going to disappoint her. When he protests that characterization, she questions again if there's something wrong with him.

She shares that her dorm mate won't let her borrow her deodorant anymore. Sarah struggles to connect with other inmates because she finds their conversation to be predictable nonsense.

Aug 12 2025 - CALL - Episode 11: Mirror Neurons
Sarah has no stamps so she can't send emails to PG. She asks about his friend in the hospital but barely acknowledges when PG says he's probably not going to make it. She has a lien of $70 on her account for printing and mailing the exhibits. She's mentioning it because he told her to let him know about such things ($$). PG reminds her that he only said he'd do what he could as he was able. She has no one but PG she can call for things ($$). Her brother is having surgery and only sends $20 now and then. She tried twice to hide the bill at the copy station so they would forget to charge her. She's not as happy in the Annex as she first was - too hot, fire ants, mean people. She brings up mirror neurons to explain how the inmates resent her for being young and having a chance at freedom they don't have. She's not allowed to work in the kitchen because of the knives, but the people there are mean anyway. Her son let her have it on the phone and is mad she can't be there to help him and hold his hand the first day of High School. Notable Quotes: "I'm a humble person." "These awful old ass 70 80 year old women who are going to die in prison are here and they hate me because I'm smiling." "People are in prison for a reason. Sometimes they have black holes and empty hearts and their family doesn't want to deal with them anymore." (PG responds "Yep! Exactly right. You nailed it.")
Mirror neurons are brain cells that activate both when you perform an action and when you see someone else perform the same action, essentially "mirroring" their behavior in your brain, which helps us understand, learn by imitation, and feel empathy by simulating others' actions and emotions, forming a basic foundation for social connection.

When PG offers to help with her Closing Argument, Sarah responds with a sulky tone and long stretches of silence. He asks her to stop taking it out on him when she's disappointed with her family case. She expresses that she doesn't feel like she's a priority to him and JD. She still hasn't gotten any deodorant after a year of asking. Her account is in the negative because she made copies of her exhibits only because PG had said he would pay for them.
