Wow, Leslie Abramson represented Diles and Nash. Enough said! She was the BEST Defense attorney in the day…

All of the above news articles are a testament to John’s dedication to this site and the main reason this forum separates itself from all other Wonderland wanna be’s!

Truer words have not been spoken! This is the ONLY place on the web for unique and in-depth Wonderland info as far as I’m concerned. Btw, what are these wanna-be sites you speak of? Other than this blog I don’t think I’ve come across any other sites that entirely devote themselves to this intriguing case like the almighty ‘Wonderland1981’ does! 🙂

There are various other blog’s here and there, but there small potatoes compared to this site. Take my word for it. The Wonderland IMDB use to be pretty good a few years ago. Nobody goes there any more though.
