Things are getting more interesting
This trial has been nothing more than boring so far. For those of us who have followed it closely there have been moments of interest followed by hours of tedium. I know that fireworks are coming and we got a glimpse of that today.
Mr. Prior accidentally published his notes to the jury. Is he totally inept or was it on purpose? I haven’t seen enough of him to know and I could not read what he posted. The jurors could though. It would have been on the monitor right in front of them.
I have been a little disappointed so far in his cross examination of Melanie Gibb. This is where I thought Mr. Prior would blow things up. He isn’t done though so maybe tomorrow? We’ll see. She has corresponded a lot with prosecutor Rob Wood and I hope we get to see the text of that correspondence. I was sure today that as the clock wound down, he would want to end with fireworks and he kind of did, but not in any memorable way for the jury.
So, is he going to disappoint or is there more to come? We’ll have to wait and see. Whatever happens, I want fireworks. I want these witnesses to be exposed. I want to see if maybe the prosecution is protecting some of their witness. I wouldn’t blame them for it, but I think some of them might be culpable and that is what I want to know.
Don’t f*** with Judge Boyce. I think people misread him. He is soft spoken in court, but he is absolutely in control of his courtroom. When court ended today he held a hearing. There is an attorney named Terry Radcliff who filed a motion with the court to inject himself into the proceedings I guess as an attorney for the defendant. HIs motion was filed late at night and was rediculous. This trial has been planned for years and this guy just now tries to inject himself?
Anyway, Judge Boyce shut him down in spectacular fashion. If you want to know more about it I would suggest listening to Nate Eaton’s Courtroom Insider.
Hoping for more interesting testimony tomorrow….
