October 19 Post-Hearing Photos

 Instead of spending my evening writing on the hearing that went on in the courtroom, I’ll publish some of the photographs I took. This will give me time to write my thoughts on the day’s events over the weekend. There were, obviously, some very interesting things that were argued over and decided in the courtroom. Judge Nelson is a fantastic judge. She’s stern, but fair, and she has a sense of humor. More on her later.

NBC Today Show

The Today Show producer, Jim Lichtenstein, told me I would be on the show Saturday morning as we were leaving the courtroom Friday. It’s only a 2-minute segment and I’m mentioned briefly, but it’s something. Better than nothing. The only thing I take issue with - and that’s very mildly - is Kerry Sanders’ statement that I’m a pro-prosecution blogger. Everyone knows I’m an Anthony lover. Right?

Interestingly, I met Kerry outside the courthouse at the last hearing I attended, before Friday’s. He’s a very pleasant fellow; friendly and approachable.

By the way, I would still like to be remembered for my writing ability than as the defense fall guy. The only consolation I got out of this fiasco is a tougher judge. Brilliant, Cheney.

This one’s for you, New Puppy.
