Rural Area Confusion and Tampering with the Jury

In this chapter, they discuss a rural area that some people mistake for Appalachia. They also mention a person referred to as Mr. Anthony, making a joke about Northern Virginia residents paying taxes. They then move on to discuss the SPF case and how one of the charges against him was dropped on a technicality. They explain that prosecutors are still going to be prosecuting him under different charges. They also discuss an incident where he attempted to show reporters his ex-girlfriend's diary, suggesting he was trying to tamper with the jury. The chapter concludes by discussing the diary entries and how they may have backfired on him, portraying his ex-girlfriend as a sympathetic figure. They criticize him for thinking he is clever and for his addiction to cultivating relationships with the media.
