2014-2018: Family abuse history (prior phases) - 2018-2019: Poisoning and custody proceedings (prior phases) - 2019-2021: Depositions and gag order issues (prior phases) - 2022: San Francisco judgment (F-047, F-048) - 2020-2025: Emerging issues (Griffin, Lie Letter, appeals) - December 2025-February 2026: Motion to Vacate and Bowman hearing (F-049, F-050) --- ## Next Steps ### Recommended Actions 1. **Verification:** Review each HTML file for accuracy and completeness 2. **Integration:** Link evidence files from main ChappaquaPoison v2 narrative 3. **Blog Posts:** Create corresponding blog posts for each evidence file 4. **Missing Content:** Locate and extract source material for Posts 62, 63, 66 5. **Update Index:** Revise INDEX.md to include new Phase VII-IX files 6. **PDF Conversion:** Convert key files to PDF for court exhibit potential ### Potential Enhancements -
