Of course Geragos needs the delays, he needs others to help him with the case. After all these months he still wasn't prepared, didn't even show up for the verdict. And he claimed he could also handle the Michael Jackson case -- no wonder Mike fired him.
Well as usual, it was a big nothing!! A 402 evidence hearing. That means they were likely arguing over whether the video of Laci's Memorial Service could be shown. This thing with the Bartender is something that Geragos ATTEMPTED. That's why the bartender had to get an Attorney. To quash the Subpoena. Gergos has likely had big burly investigators "attempting to shake down" all sorts of individuals. The guy is DESPERATE, for one thing, at this point, his reputation is trashed.
