I'm just in awe that it keeps getting worse for him every minute. Looks like a slam dunk case.
I can only hope.
The indictment is fucking out of this world. He needs to be in custody.
I'm willing to bet there is a lot more at other locations. This looks like a general dump. Anyone with this kind of hord is going to keep their best stuff in special places.
That's an odd place for a pipe. Any chance that's the pipe that was draining the pool that "accidentally" flooded the surveillance video server room?
