You may consider this to be too negative and not want to talk about it, but if they are talking about it in California, and the show is broadcast nationally, it may become a bigger than expected story.
This may actually be good publicity for The Villages because it provides further evidence of how we are an active adult community.

What California show?
She is entitled to a Jury Trial if she wants one. About 50% it seemed of the Jury Pool I was in on May 19, 2014 at the Sumter County Court House was from the Villages or seemed to be from what they were saying. I was summoned for Jury Duty in April of 2014 so I was in the Jury Pool for a case that the defendant plead guilty for avoiding the Jury Trial. The Honorable Circuit Judge Michelle Morley said that this plea saved the court 16 weeks of docket cases.

Maybe, she wants to plead his case in front of Villagers? Her Judge is supposedly The Honorable Thomas D. Skidmore.
