Thanks SS, for the great news . . . justice was served, albeit a bit late.

This really shows what a class act Winona Ryder is. NO ONE would have blamed her if she had made a commercial saying:"Hi, a few years back, when I made some self destructive decisions, Mr. Cooley pulled out all the stops and made me a criminal with a show trial that cost (AMOUNT STATED ON BOTTOM OF SCREEN) This second number (AMOUNT STATED AT BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN) is how much fraud and tax evasion that people who contributed to his party have gotten away with during his stay in office. How about we vote for someone with a sense of proportion?
Instead, she took the high road, and kept her mouth shut, but sometimes at night, I can see that ad in my mind, with those big eyes just looking at me...

What's also pretty remarkable if you check out the person who won, Kamala Harris, who is a woman of black and Indian (Gandhi Indian, not Native American) heritage, and former DA of San Francisco. All at once becoming the Asian-American, African-American and Indian-American AG of California ALL AT THE SAME TIME, and the first female Attorney General in the United States. I dunno how much Winona contributed, but I bet she's pleased as punch.

You guys might have seen this, but apparently in that long cascade of cause and effect that is history, Winona's trial may ALSO have contributed if Trump does not get his Supreme Court nominee picked. The Attorney General who defeated Cooley has since gone on to become a senator...check this out.

Talk about butterfly effect:
Cooley's bungling of Winona's trial partly led to his loss in the race for attorney general, so that Kamala Harris could be elected first African and Asian American AG of California, so that she could become a Senator, which led to her running for Presidential candidate in the Democratic primary, which led to being chosen as Joe Biden's running mate for vice president and potentially first female, Asian American and African American vice president in American history.
Man, who'd have thunk?
