---
Dissenting from the court's majority, one judge sounded the alarm about ignoring recanted forensic testimony, saying the medical examiner's reversal "calls into doubt the foundation of the trial."

I just received an Amber Alert from the TBI (Tennessee Bureau of Investigation), and the link in the alert redirects to a Facebook page that you must be logged in to read. 🤦♂️

“You feel like you’re seeing a documentary; it all looks and seems “real.” But it’s not! That’s the Altman magic. He was like a fusion of James Joyce and D.A Pennebaker, a filmmaker who immersed you in the scruffy 3D effusiveness of every moment. “Nashville” has the pull of a soap opera crossed with the glory of a musical crossed with the primal power of reality.”

“Yet when Ronee Blakley, as the country star Barbara Jean, gets up onstage at the Opry Belle to sing “Tapedeck in His Tractor” and “Dues,” it’s one of the most transcendent sequences in the history of cinema. For a few heartbreakingly blissful moments, the down-home incandescence of her performance seems to pull the world of America together, giving us all a desperate reason to believe.“
