Examples of involved in a Sentence

  1. Joe Berlinger:

    They’ve moved on, i think they’re all happy, positive people who are involved in their lives… but this is a shadow that has been cast over them, so I hope the show provides some closure for them… That they’ve had the chance to make peace with the past and have an opportunity to move on and know that there’s at least one documentary series out there that addresses their concerns. I hope it’s a healing experience for them to watch it.

  2. Olivia Nuzzi:

    People on the left are always asking me how I get people not on the left to talk to me and I always think it’s such an odd question, because the assumption is that there must be some magic trick involved. The trick is I don’t lie about my intentions or my thinking, which I consider basic respect I’d pay to anybody in any context, and in return people tend to offer me the basic respect of talking to me like a human being.

  3. Stuart Cameron:

    I vividly remember the discovery of those sets of remains, it was very troubling to the police officers involved in the search that they had found a toddler.

  4. Paul Wilson:

    My nightmare continues, none of the other stuff that's involved the jailhouse informants talking to somebody, the evidence the sheriffs withheld or did not withhold who cares? The fundamentals of the case is that he killed those eight people that day and he needs to pay for that.

  5. Sean Biggerstaff:

    It can be a bit irritating when someone asks me how the new film's coming along when I haven't worked on Harry Potter for two years. Generally speaking, I have no problem with it. Most actors go through their careers without ever being involved in something so spectacular, so I think it would be a bit ignorant of me to object to being associated with it. Harry Potter is an amazing thing. I'm not just being diplomatic here either. I'm still reminded regularly of what a unique experience it was.
