What's this? A setback for Geragos? "The court tentatively stated that it had no jurisdiction to hear the motions concerning the wiretaps and the GPS"--presumably b/c the prosecutor officially stated that they would not use any such evidence in the prelim!

RG, this makes it sound like the trial will be heard in a different level of the court, which would mean there WOULD be a different judge. If Girolami says he doesn't have jurisdiction to hear these matters... well, SOMEONE must have jurisdiction! This is confusing!

Maybe a hearing on those issues, as in using the same judge who sealed the search warrants (his name starts with a "B"). I swear I've read that Girolami would preside over the trial if he found the evidence at the prelim was adequate to warrant one.

Dev I think the Judge means that he has no jurisdiction to deal with that evidence NOW, because it isn't being presented at The Prelim. It may very well be in his jurisdiction to rule on it at trial. One thing that occurs to me is that the GPS tracking may have been started by the FBI (Feds)!! I'm guessing but it seems reasonable to me that he CAN rule on these matters at TRIAL.!!
