Remember when this was "conspiracy theory"? A media retrospective

It's worth remembering how this story was covered over time: **2006-2008:** - Local news only - Few national outlets touched it - Plea deal barely covered **2010-2015:** - Story essentially dead - Occasional tabloid mentions - Lawsuit filings ignored **2018-2019:** - Miami Herald breaks it open - Suddenly "news" again - Everyone acts surprised **Lesson:** The information was available. Court documents are public. It took specific journalists deciding to pursue it. Many outlets that now cover it extensively ignored it for years. Worth remembering.

I remember when posting about this on social media would get you labeled a conspiracy theorist. Times changed.
The court documents were always public. It just took journalists deciding to look.
