Can somebody pity me and give me a synopsis of what happened today?
The judge first admonished the court room, that only the lawyers and himself would be allowed to talk.
A black heckler (presumambly a panther) had yelled "YOU a dead man walking" and "justice will served, rapist."
Judge refused to reconsider lowering the bond, but he did order Nifong to turn over all the notes to the defense.
Phone was shut off from service the followning day.
Defense needs that phone to do it's tests with experts, don't even know the phone provider yet.
Nifong is an idiot who laughed and smirked when Osborne tried to get bond reduced by turning over boxes of info to support his airtight alibi, produce letters on behalf of Seligman as not a flight risk, etc. Denied by judge as he is out on bond now.
Seligman was threatened with "Dead man walking" as entering court.
As you can tell from the above post, these are pics of FA,but unverified
Seligman went to court-blackman called out deadman walking (NBP)
It was about discovery.
Defense wants to examine the phone before the data is "lost" Nifong has no clue what they think they will find. (Mmmm, call log maybe?)
Where is the phone?
Nifong thinks the police have it. Does not know if the investigators have examined it. Sort of "the dog ate my homework"
The Judge (Stephens--DA during prostitution scandal) was grandstanding. Will examine phone en camera-Privacy issues.
Defense mentions airtight alibi and Nifong gives one of the putziest smirks you have ever seen. He does the same thing when defense says Seligman's life is on hold, he wants to get back to school.
Defense tried for a bail reduction-no dice. Bail is appropriate, defendant is free. BAIL REDUCTION DENIED is what the MSM is leading off with-go figure.
Defense wants all evidence (notes, etc) preserved. Judge said not going to give them permission to go thru all police files. WIll not give order to produce what defenseis entitled to.
June 19th (or 16th) nexy date for him.
Oh yeah, Nifong will want them tried together.
Sorryifnot clear--trying to type fast-need to pick upson...Watch Greta tonight..she was in courtroom.
