@ Phil, can you help me find a link on your website? I was looking around and found a link that talked about the judge, PT lawyers, DT lawyers, etc. It gave good information and I can't find it again.

good morning everyone

by allyj 6/25/2015 2:34:08 PM
@ Phil, thanks but it isn't it. The main page had the judge on it (it was a drawing too). And under the judge it had links to click on for info on the judge, lawyers, and jury too I think. It even gave lawyers (length of time they have been in their position, their pay, their title). I'm so bummed I can't find it.

Morning everyone.

by Angela Freeman 6/25/2015 2:44:19 PM
I have no sound...is it just me?

by rlb 6/25/2015 2:46:05 PM
King: Dr. Woodcock went in to assess competency and observe symptoms to provide clinical impressions

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 2:46:05 PM
Good Morining all......fair to say that I missed our trial these past couple days.

by Stephany 6/25/2015 2:46:17 PM
@rlb: Check the mute button for me?

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 2:46:18 PM
Why isn't this up the jury to assess competency while doing this this act?

by LG 6/25/2015 2:47:54 PM
King says he anticipates working to admit 3 jail videos from November. He mentioned them in his opening

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 2:48:06 PM
I have sound and good quality feed.

by Angela Freeman 6/25/2015 2:48:56 PM
DA Brauchler says he wants to verify the videos first

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 2:49:05 PM
In comes the jury

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 2:50:06 PM
Phil your feed seams to be ahead of here as your postings are before what I am seeing on the screen or hearing

by LG 6/25/2015 2:51:25 PM
Judge reminds jury the gunman is presumed innocent

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 2:51:29 PM
@LG: That would be correct. I'm logging in real time, not waiting for the youtube delay

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 2:51:47 PM
Innocent until proven guilty....I think Judge Samour should have said that. Of course I think we need to change it to innocent until proven guilty AND sane until proven insane.
