I really don't want to start something that could lead to 'problems'--too many strange and perverted things going on in the nation/world.
Some forums had to put discussions of 'Crime' in a restricted area and I completely understand --if a Moderator feels that is best for the forum--delete/move my threads/posts. I have --'esoteric' interests it seems.

This case interests me.
An administrative assistant for Coca Cola was recently/last week convicted of fraud/conspiracy --selling top level Coke documents to Pepsi--that was the plan--Pepsi contacted Coke and the state took the case.
After the guilty verdict--Friday afternoon--the woman was released on bond--awaiting sentencing--that evening her apt and others in her building caught on fire. After an investigation--the fire was deemed 'Accidental'. Started by a candle too near some curtains.
Now the DA?--state wants to revoke her bond--flight risk.

~~~ --(I would be too nervous to try something like this..) It is very bold to think of stealing form Coke. Very protective of its secrets, as most corporations are. (Never worked in the corporate sector--or not extensively--I find it 'Curious'. Apparently those who work for corporations learn that 'Loose Lips Sink Ships'--very early or they don't last long with the Company. Private people...out of necessity.)
Just read that Gorbachev is asking Bill Gates to be lenient with a teacher accused of stealing --Piracy of Microsoft products. In a remote village school in Russia...
Corporations are ever vigilant.

I read the Coke one, but I don't know why Pepsi would have to buy secrets... I think Pepsi is better... When I drink soda, which I normally don't.
But it's all a matter of taste!
LOL--
We drink only Coke here--dontya know.
Pepsi--Dr. Pepper--that stuff is not good for you.
Some John Grisham type of poster will have to add comments--->
as to why anyone thought they could get an executive of Pepsico to be stupid enough to enter into a conspiracy to buy secrets from Coke.
3 foolish and I suppose greedy people
The burning of the apartment complex really bothers me--'A danger to herself and others'--if she was so upset---that she didn't notice a candle burning down her curtains...
Fast pace life in this big city. A good moral lesson. Be content with what you have. Happens too much--people get caught in the 'Web'.
Sometimes I wish I could email John and ask his opinion. (Heard enough from Greta and Nancy Grace).

John Grisham's first work of nonfiction, an exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry, is his most extraordinary legal thriller yet.
In the major league draft of 1971, the first player chosen from the State of Oklahoma was Ron Williamson. When he signed with the Oakland A's, he said goodbye to his hometown of Ada and left to pursue his dreams of big league glory.
Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits drinking, drugs, and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept twenty hours a day on her sofa.
In 1982, a 21-year-old cocktail waitress in Ada named Debra Sue Carter was raped and murdered, and for five years the police could not solve the crime. For reasons that were never clear, they suspected Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder. With no physical evidence, the prosecution’s case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to death row.
If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.
Haha, i've been to places that have only Pepsi and no matter what people will say... Gimme a coke. And they get a pepsi and drink it.. It's like.. wait what?
But I only drink the diet caffeine free kind of pepsi, so it's just basically flavored water.
Now I like a soft drink that I find at a health food store.
Must be made with better water---I feel better after drinking this brand.
Cherry, ginger ale, grape, raspberry, citrus, mango--love mango and those tastes.
The soft drink industry--must be cut throat--always having to stay one up--constantly researching the demographics for the next flavor.
If I were to be involved with the soft drink industry--I would want to work at the 'CIA'. Culinary Institute of America.
LOL--CIA in NYC--Good times from the google articles I have read. Chefs that know what they are doing...
I would hate to know how many lbs of sugar I have ingested. soft drinks--any and all --pure sugar--unless you opt for diet... I do now. Health issues require it
The mango/papaya--lite fruit drinks are better--herbal tea better still and water best of all.
Sometimes I wish I could email John and ask his opinion. (Heard enough from Greta and Nancy Grace).
Grisham's New Book>>> 'The Innocent Man'--2006
I have read all of Grisham's books shortly after they were released in paperback, usually in an almost non-stop page turning feast. This new one sounds pretty good, but I wonder if it will give me that same nitty gritty feel of his fictional subjects from the deep south.
Greta and Nancy Grace are too much for me. Can't handle their mode of questioning people about all the obscure details involving these media sensationalized crime cases. They were probably in an all out tabloid style frenzy today about the astronaut woman who drove from FL to TX to beat up some other ladyfriend of her astronaut-lover.
