. >>> my name is eric larson. i'm juliet ellis' husband. i feel compelled to be here today to provide a personal point of view regarding juliet. i've known juliet over 20 years and i know her to be honest, above all else, kind and generous. in fact, she's one of the most honest people i know. so, it's been very painful for her personally as well as our family to deal with this ongoing saga. let's be clear. we're not here because of a slight bureaucratic miss step. we're here because certain persons have deliberately orchestrated a series of defaming events designed to smear juliet's good name and reputation. we have endured these trials with the faith that these were challenges that were to be overcome and learned from. so, juliet has mostly suffered in silence. but today juliet's community has stepped forward to say, we've had enough already. we'll not stand aside any more. i want to thank everybody for coming out and supporting juliet. we know her and hopefully justice will prevail. thank you. (applause) >>> good afternoon. my name is ben
