The posting is at her request. The N&O does not verify the accuracy of factual representations in the audio; the interview was conducted as part of the reporting for a three-part series about Cline that was published Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The series was based on court rulings and findings, court documents, transcripts of trials and hearings, other records as well as multiple interviews. They total thousands of pages. Cline has written that she was treated unfairly in the series. Cline had previously requested interviews and email exchanges be posted online.
