Brent RatekinI recently received an affidavit from a defendant. The defendant's cousin had supplied the affidavit in which the cousin, already convicted of the same marijuana, admits to ownership and telling me that the defendant knew nothing about the marijuana. The title of this affidavit was "Alpha David" and the cousin wrote "Alpha David" three more times in the body of the affidavit.

jwsI've seen the "growing area" before, too. That's the home of the "virginia." I've also encountered "Act of David" pronounced "act-a-David" for affidavit. As in, "Can I come in and fill out one of those Act of Davids?"
