Yeah, be really careful posting about things like this.

The article says that she hasn't been charged yet, but that doesn't mean she won't be. If she is charged, this post is potentially admissible (if it were found, but you never know). This may not seem like a huge deal, but what if it contradicts her statement to law enforcement in some way? Now it's a credibility thing, and once you've started that fight you've already lost it.

Obviously YMMV, especially in Washington State (I have no more authority to give legal advice there than some random guy on a bus), but something you may want to think about.

I posted an old article, to give the back-story.

The issue has been resolved, legally, and she is now able to post about it. So that's why I brought it up here...

Ok cool, just making sure :)

It's a shitty situation for all involved, but I'm glad she was able to defend herself.
