Exhibit #13

New Year’s Eve can be a lonely night, so we thought we’d spice things up for you with a local lawsuit that wasn't quite Netflix-worthy.

Pull up a chair for the legal soap opera that had Reno clutching its pearls in 2023-24: the York-York-Mathews-Guinasso spectacular. Picture it: Men's rights attorney Marilyn York, her father Ray, former employee Tirza Mathews, and attorney Jason Guinasso (bestie to both Commissioner Clara Andriola and Reno City Councilmember Devon Reese) in a lawsuit so juicy it makes Vanderpump Rules look tame.

Picon had many readers reach out to us about the salacious lawsuit asking us to post the tomb, all 384-pages, but the thing was just too massive to put online. Other media were covering the heck out of the case, you were getting a blow by blow, but you were missing the best part of the case and that was Exhibit 13. Penned by Guinasso’s team the exhibit reads like Fifty Shades of Grey without the bondage. It is a page turner that you simply can’t put down.

In a plot twist that surprised exactly no one (except maybe Guinasso), releasing the case to the press didn't create as much of a media circus as he'd hoped for. The press, showing remarkable restraint, declined to turn it into the blockbuster he'd scripted. Judge Egan Walker, clearly not amused commented, “This complaint was meant for an audience different than me.”

The case was settled and us Renoites can’t know the outcome even though our taxpayer dollars keep the courthouse functioning.

This New Year's Eve, if you're alone and tired of watching the Hallmark Channel, dive into Exhibit 13. It is the perfect reminder that sometimes the best entertainment comes from the courthouse, not Netflix.

And hey, at least your tax dollars paid for something more interesting than a parking study.

Cheers to 2025, and maybe next year we’ll learn who paid to put the tracker on Mayor Hillary Schieve’s car.
