Q:

A certain Cheshire Lane in California has been a lightning rod for trouble for years.  Now things have flared up again.  You can watch this disaster unfold daily on TV and the internet.  In case you've been living under a rock, use the clues in this puzzle to discover who is at the center of the Cheshire Lane nightmare.

Anyway, 15.875733 kilograms is equal to two and a half stones.  How convenient.
