The question is, what would you do to clear your name?

Name, a word, or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known, addressed, or referred to.

Name synonyms, reputation, title, appellation, denomination, repute.

A name is more than just a noun, verb, or adjective. It's your life, your legacy, your journey, sacrifices, and everything you've worked hard for every day of your life as an adolescent, young adult, and adult.

Don't let anybody tarnish it when you know you've lived up to your own set of ethics and personal ethos.

Christopher DeWarner, Facebook post, 2013.

On February 1, 2013, Anderson Cooper, the gray-mained, queer son of Incess Tycoon, Gloria Vanderbilt, and anchor the underground comedy cartoon, Anderson Cooper 360, received a package in the mail.

No, it's not the package that many of you dream he will someday receive. Instead, this package contains three items. A sticky note that read,

I never lied, here is my vindication, Evans kicked the suspect, respectfully. Chris Dorner, attached to a DVD arm with Chris Dorner exoneration written across its face, and an LAPD challenge coin with what appears to be four bullet holes punched through it.

The DVD contained an excerpt of a deposition given by Christopher Getlow, a deposition that Christopher Dorner believed would show the world that his hand was forced.

I'm Liz, and I'm Brace.

We are joined by producer Young Chomsky, and this is Truanon, Colin, moderate rebel, the Christopher Dorner story.

Liz, I know you can't say it, so I'm going to basically say it.

What are you going to say?

I'm going to say it. This man was a lib tart.

I know, we were joking, we were joking about that, and I was like, I can't say that. For some reason it makes me cringe, but it is true.

This is the first, this is like the extreme blue pill.

This isn't a blue pill, baby. This is a blue bullet. Shot at the blue line across the golden state of California.

I'm going to be in a true crime podcast.

I don't have to do it.

Here's the thing. I have never listened to a true crime podcast.

Maybe I have for research for episodes.
