| 0:00.0 | Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode, Illegally Brunette. I will be your host, Emily Simpson, and |
| 0:07.8 | Shane. Shane. Okay, first of all, we have to do some updates on some cases that we've done previously. |
| 0:13.9 | If you have not listened to our episode on Ellen Greenberg, I would suggest that you do that if you |
