Who do you think this is?

We're waiting for a bail hearing in the case of the United States versus Charlie Evens, and Laws is clutching a stash of printouts from the internet which she shows the prosecutor before the judge arrives.

 

"What are these?" the prosecutor asks.

 

"They're my latest death threats," says Laws.

 

"What?" says the prosecutor. "Have you passed these on to the FBI?"

 

"I told the FBI press office," she says.

 

"No, you need to get these to an investigator. You need to contact the agent immediately." She leafs through the pages and then looks at Laws. "Are you concerned?"

 

Laws shrugs. "A bit."

 

I read them over her shoulder. They mostly came from anonymous Twitter accounts. Somebody called "DepressedSaintsFan" names her and then says: "We need to get a hit out on this *****." Another calls her daughter "a cock-hungry slut". But it's just the tip of a larger, altogether nastier iceberg: phone calls, a strange car that turned up in her street, and dozens of abusive, barely literate threats and insults and libels against Laws, her daughter, her husband.
