The final Supreme Court decision is complete and delivered: The verdict for Dream Street Entertainment (DSE) - INNOCENT on all charges!

The judge accuses the moms of lying and fabricating the story that their boys were in ANY moral or physical danger.

This ruling was made two days ago (August 7th, 2002) by Judge D. Lebedeff.
