Some of the commenters are expressing frustration that I didn't post the verdict in the Jack Maxwell trial. In my defense, I was traveling over the weekend and just missed the coverage in the Herald, which was buried in the local section. BTW, it was guilty on all counts. Sheesh!
In another case we've been covering, Judge D has ruled (in a 14 page Order) on the Government's motion to have its witnesses wear "light disguises." He splits the baby, allowing the light disguises but requiring the feds to turn over the names of the witnesses and allowing cross-examination on the observation posts (which the Government did not want). I can't wait to see what they actually wear to Court. The Order says they can wear makeup, wigs, and facial hair -- as long as the jurors can see their eyes...
Finally, a reader who attended the potrait hanging for former AG Ashcroft writes in from the road: "...[T]he event was very nice, and it was interesting to see Gen. Aschroft sitting in the Great Hall directly underneath the nude statute he had covered up during his tenure with large drapes. The tall statute of the woman on the right of the stage has one breast exposed (a la Janet Jackson). When the current AG introduced Aschcroft, he was pretty funny about it. He said that the contrasts between him and the former AG were pretty obvious, starting off with: 'You know, several members of the media have commented on the different styles between John and me. And I suppose that's true. For example, John likes blue drapes. I happen to like a more open look.'"

What? no reader knows how to use the search function of the Herald, geez!! daddy to 2 or daddy to the world? tell the whiners to grow up. No apologies necessary.
I've never seen a tall "statute" with breasts. In fact I've never seen a short statute with breasts, either
to 7:31 a.m. - sorry but your comment misses the mark - if you are going to have a blog that claims to provide all the news regarding the district, you need to make sure you cover all the relevant stories and cases in the federal system - searching the herald is always an option, but then what is the point of the blog as a news source? think about it 7:31 a.m. and you will see the flaw in your logic
I smell too many rats. Let's see the what the "trial" punishment will be for Maxwell. Another Olis?
the punishment will fit the crime. And by the way, rats are how the system works.
Why don't you prosecutors get your own blog! Didn't your office just hire a full time PR person? Give Marcus a break.
I am a defense attorney and this is how I earn a living and help my clients.....
