So this litigation in Dover won't be a slam dunk.

Do you (or anyone else) have any background info on the judge who is overseeing this trial? It makes a big difference, and I have not been able to find much info on this.

I agree the outcome of this trial is uncertain. Given how slick some of the ID proponents are, I'm not confident that events will turn out in favor of evolutionary science. (Maybe I'm just pessimistic when comes to our judicial system...)

This is posted at the court's website: BIOGRAPHY OF JUDGE JOHN E. JONES III.

From here:

This past December, John E. Jones, III, chairman of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) and the already designated NABCA President-Elect for 2001-2002, resigned from the NABCA position, citing other responsibilities that would not allow time for him to properly perform his duties as NABCA President. Indeed, just before press time, StateWays learned that Jones was officially nominated on February 28 by President George W. Bush for a seat as a Federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
