He did ask me to refer people to that YouTube interview for his side of the story, which he says includes everything he has to say about the matter for now.

I only know Eric Caidin from a weekend here at a Dallas fan convention. He needed somebody locally to help him set up his booth and run 16mm films for him. A mutual friend of ours suggested me. I don't know why I took the job, other than that I was free that weekend. Eric was very laid back and he treated me generously. I got to run some fun films, eat free food all weekend, and roam around the con talking with friends and meeting celebs when I wasn't otherwise called to duty. He probably wouldn't remember me at all but I'm very glad that he seems to have come through this physically. I hope he's doing as well mentally and emotionally, though I suspect those wounds will take longer to heal.

I spoke to Cult Movies' Coco just a few days ago -- she's doing well -- Glad to hear Coco is well; haven't talked to her in years. And, obviously, she's doing far better than Guy Tucker, who's been dead since 2006. I'd like to know the latest on Mike Copner, however. Did he ever have his day in court?

The man's inside for awhile. << Welllll, some people are hearing from him -- by mail -- asking for a$$istance when his trial comes up and he's got legal fees. I wouldn't know what to do if a friend in that situation asked. Nobody wants to be "inside" but with his health problems and "anger management issues," does he really belong "outside"?

Sep 26 08 9:03 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I guess he knows better than to write to me. And why he has legal fees is beyond me. The man is indigant, no? "If you wish one and cannot afford one, a lawyer will be appointed to you." So, ya' know. We're ALL paying his damned legal fees.

Sep 26 08 10:00 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	<< "If you wish one and cannot afford one, a lawyer will be appointed to you." << He wants money for a schmancier lawyer and a better shot at freedom. I don't know WHAT I'd want if I were him. Three hots and a cot has got to be better than living in a Pasadena alley in back of some Dumpster, or wherever he'd probably end up. It's nice to think that maybe he's also getting some medical attention behind those high gray walls.

My client belongs in a mental institution, not in a prison." There. Copner's defense, and for free. If any defense attorney repeats variations of this over and over, he'll do just as well as the firm of Fancy, Schmancy, and Pricey. Gutridge
