Dear Ewen, Heather J.,

Please provide me with your attorney's name and email address and I will contact them directly. I will let you know if we still want the BWC. We do have audio so that may be all that we need. I will let you know. Either way please preserve them as they may be subpoenaed at a later date. Thank you for your time.

Yours sincerely,
Erin
