Can someone find out from the defense, or the court, who the judge was?
(Obviously the media are not interested, or hiding it.)
Also, I'd like to find out the name of the security guard who testified; he works in the same mall where Gottlieb has an office (and where the April 4 photo lineup was done).
Who is he and was he promised something for his testimony?
(How could any reporter leave that info out--NAMES are one thing you are supposed to get straight in journalism, right?)
When I read Ruth piece is confirmed what I suspected from an e-mail she had sent me earlier disagreeing with me. She's reading the blogs - and I suspect she's reading FR.
Yeah, she had that piece, but her article confirms what I got from the Jail - she didn't think to check on the location of the serial criminal 126/Hawkins without reading that. She noted the use of ELMO which wasn't happening when she made her blog article 3 weeks ago or so.
IMO, the reporters are reading the blogs daily - and that's why you had reporters from 3 stations and 2 newpapers asking
Wilson about the detectives in the courtroom. The last time Elmo's case was postponed there was no media there. They didn't know the name of the Judge, etc.
In the intervening period from his last scheduled trial to Tuesday a lot has changed, IMO. The forums have proved right point after point in this case.
