Hello,

Ihope this message finds you well amidst the ongoing challenges that seem totrigger everyone. I find solace in the beauty of nature, like the sight of twoelk in my backyard the other day, reminding me how fortunate I am to beretired. However, my thoughts often drift to our young people in urban areas,striving to thrive and depending on support from those curious about indigenouslife—a topic for another time.

Today,I am reaching out to gather information regarding the upcoming pulmonaryhearing for Nathan and Shay in January, which is about five months away. I seekclarity on the reasoning behind this hearing, as I want people to understandthe process when someone is arrested but not criminal. Despite the gravity ofthe situation, I find myself laughing, as my friends often say I do when tryingto cope.

Thehearing is expected to present a substantial amount of evidence, includingterabytes of emails, text messages, banking statements, written statements,witness testimonies, and information gathered since 2023. Nathan, with his newlawyer, will review all this evidence to determine his plea. It's speculativesince I wasn't at the Supreme Court, but it seems that if he pleads guilty, hecould be facing up to 20 years before being eligible for parole.

Iwould appreciate any details about the hearing and would like to attend ifpossible.

Thankyou for your assistance.

Bestregards,

Marina
