Shackled how to the table? There’s lots of variability there.

Misspelled in case you want to google some more. Name is Carol. FWIW The Gotbaums are well known in NYC have been influential for decades. So of course there will be tumult and investigations even though Carol seems 100% at fault. And she’s only a step-in-law from South Africa

Bookmarked in case of future need, hehehe.

Yeah.

I'm not much into handcuffs but I am learning to pick locks.

Very interesting ;-)

Does unlocking them with sunglasses really work?

On a light note, we should all keep ten thousand in a money market account in case we need it to post bond for ourselves or for one of the kids. Ya never know....

Dude, that’s half as cold as I feel toward these sexual harassment, child molestation charges filing divorcing creatures!

A companion skill to picking locks - the ability to get into any car after locking oneself out. That would impress the hell outa me.

Conflicting evidence there..
I saw Robert Downey do it in Fugitive 2..
I saw the chick unlock a pair with a paper clip in Terminator 2..
and I saw the Great Santini do it in a Columbo movie with nothing...BUT..
Jack Bauer couldn't get his off in an episode and you would think he would be the best of the best.

So, there you are ;-)

yeah...I can't do that one yet although I haven't researched it.

Maybe we should all carry one of these.

here's how you slip handcuffs from behind over your head

Why would you go over your head? Just step backwards through the loop made by your arms.

It’s also important to point out that she needn’t have strangled herself - she may simply have compressed the carotid artery long enough that blood (and thus oxygen) were cut off from the brain for a few minutes - and it’s adios amigos.

To me, she seems like a martyr. I know she was an arrogant F’d up rich-bitch, but now she’s a martyred arrogant F’d up rich-bitch.
