He's hamming it up for the cameras and loving every minute of it.

George Duncan being sworn in by the judge. He works for the Sheriffs Dept (and he also worked with the judge in 1976). He's specialty is DNA testing in the county.

[sarasota]

It's nice to know that he is in charge now and the foolishness of the legal teams can be exposed.

I know.His voice reminds me of a priest friend of mine-whiney.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Duncan does not have the sample from Perper's office and has not been asked to test by the Seminole tribe.

CTV dumps out......looking for other coverage....

MSNBC.com has the live feed still going on the net...

Rita Cosby has and "exclusive" interview with Gerlene Gibson, the babysitter and mother of the immigrations officer Shane Gibson.

Gerlene says that she received a phone call from the bodyguard to take Dannielynn and leave. (presumeably right after ANS died). She says she did not take anything with her or remove anything from the residence. She says that HKS and ANS had a "very close relationship" and that ANS spent a lot of time in her bedroom with the door closed, watching movies.

Thanks

Thanks

If this judge is only handing the matter of who gets the body, I think he's over-reaching by appointing a guardian for the baby.
I think that another court would have to make that decision.
( the court already handling paternity perhaps)

I think the Broward Coutnry circuit judges name is Geoffrey Cohen, he says all of the experts showed up because they like working with him :)

Good to know that no Judge Ito in control today!

Michael Leonard Baird

This is the DNA expert that Virgie's attorney's (I think--those sitting on the left side) have called.

[Howlin]

I think he may have done it just in case -- like, just in case Stern isn't a residenct of the Bahamas, which looks more and more like it's the fact!

At least the baby has an attorney on U.S. soil!

[sarasota]

The judge is staying ahead of the game by taking care immediately of the child's needs.

>>>I'm just astounded every day as I surf FR and see THIS thread reaching posts into the THOUSANDS with all that is going on in this country and the world!>>>

Yeah yeah yeah. Shoot us.

[sarasota]

Muzzle it.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Boy, I sure miss the days when CTV would cover a trial without talking heads and commercial breaks. This is maddening.

[fatima]

Heehee.I am very far behind on this today.

[Rte66]

Hmmm, so did she mention Brigitte Neven, lol - the one who *found* ANS first - her husband's "companion"?
