Dunno which one she was talking about specifically, but Charlotte had this to say: Let's just say I'd much prefer to read all my friends kind thoughts for me on FB, than some of hateful, spiteful and lies being spreadon a popular Magic message board! I haven't had time the past day to stop here. It is my good fortune to have so many genuine friends. Namaste!

The Pendragons will need help with financial support.

They earn as a team, and this is going to have significant legal costs at the very least.

I think it's entirely premature to discuss their financial issues. And this is certainly not the place for it.

No one forced Jonathan/Claude to pull a weapon in rage and fire it, threatening and scaring his wife. That was his responsibility. If they were victims of a natural disaster or some other situation not of their making I'd be sympathetic, but Jonathan is responsble for his own actions. As "Dr. Phil" likes to say, "He owns this."

Char should be talking to an attorney and Jon should be talking to a therapist as well as a defense lawyer.

For what its worth to Charlotte (if she reads this), my son recently took several friends to the Magic Castle. Two of them are Marines who were deployed early this last week to Afghanistan (the night was a party for these guys). The Pendragons were the highlight of the night for these young men and they are taking that great memory with them.

Brent, it's self-evident that anyone who has apparently shot a gun while arguing with his spouse "needs help." So your first comment is meaningless.

Your second comment is just mean and unnecessary.

I just listened to part II of Dodd's interview, and I look forward to part III. Wow, it's just hard to reconcile such a seemingly nice, thoughtful guy with this incident. Hope he can get it together.

Any word on what's going on? I can't seem to find much information online. Is he still in jail? Is there a court date? Can Charlotte drop charges or is it out of her hands, at this point?

Is it okay to ask these questions or should we try and forget it ever happened?

I'm very curious and he is a public figure (as both a performer and an alleged criminal), but I also want to remain respectful.

IMHO it's likely better to ask Charlotte offline and if folks can put focus on support for both to them maybe she'll be up for saying something here.

There have been no public statements from any of the parties involved beyond what has already been posted here.

The only new information I have is that Jonathan has been released on bail.

That's all. Until either party decides to say anything else in public, or until there's some legal proceeding, it's a private matter.
