No live feed unfortunately. No cameras allowed in the courtroom so we are left to follow blogs or the links that Joe Jones posts. I haven't heard about whether Mehserle's family is there. They do report each and every day (all two of them so far ;) ) that Oscar Grant's mother is there and...

Just to clarify - he worked for BART - not in the Oakland PD. Still not a cushy location but better than working in the city of Oakland for sure. That is really sad that his baby was born so soon after all this went down. I don't feel this was a deliberate act (though in the beginning I sure...

Okay- you answered my question as I was writing it! That makes sense- thanks!

Also- I'm really curious at what point did you start to think he had intentionally drawn his gun? Was it something the prosecutor said in his opening statements?

Wow- very interesting. Why do you think he pulled his gun? The situation wasn't that out of control. Grant was down on the platform and it seems the worst of situation had passed. KGO talk radio did a full hour on this yesterday and several people brought out the fact that he had twice...

It will be very interesting to see how this all turns out. People in the Bay Area are already concerned as to what will happen in Oakland if they don't convict him. The sentiments are still very strong in Oakland about this case - a year and a half later. I really wish the judge had let this...

According to what Nancy Grace had on last night- pretty primitive prisons- no indoor plumbing- you squat over a hole to take care of your business. Certainly not what he's been accustomed to! Let's hope he gets to experience it...

I was just going to post this very same thing. I would bet he figures he'll slither his way out of this one too...

I think the only thing that surprises me is that it took him so long to actually get caught. Like others I have to wonder if there are other murders out there he got away with, sociopathic personality that he has. I remember seeing Greta interview him and my blood ran cold - he was enjoying...

Can I ask what's probably a dumb question as I've already lost a lot of work time reading up on this and still can't find my answer - how did the statutory rape charges come about? Did she tell someone before she died that she had had sex with the two boys?

This hate filled "church" was supposed to show up last weekend in our town as the high school was putting on The Laramie Project. Kids at the school decided to put together a "Lovefest" in counter action to the WBC. I looked up Westboro Baptist Church online and I swear I wanted to wash my...

My daughter is living in Ireland and says this is a HUGE story over there- I've been sending her all your links - thanks so much for keeping this case front and center in Websleuths Paladine!

Just when I think I've read the worst of what people can do to each other - something like this comes along. Horrifying. I've sent my email, sent the online submission and will be writing a hard copy letter to mail to the Parole Board. This "man" needs to remain right where he is now for the...

curiouserandcuriouser- I admire your strength and am so sorry for all you endured. I cannot even begin to imagine. Add me to the list of those who care. Welcome to Websleuths and I hope you stay around!

I just love TK - she's fabulous - and I am getting NO work done today! Finish this already please so I can salvage some of my day!

Not gonna say a word. I guess we shouldn't be surprised huh?

Thank you jurors! Hopefully this will give the families a bit of peace knowing this animal won't see the outside of a prison ever again. I feel so awful for them- having had to sit and listen to what their children endured. This has got to be one of worst cases I've ever followed. Hopefully...

He didn't appear to be arresting the kid until the kid called him a name- prior to that I think he was going to cite him. Once the kid called him a name - he decided it was now an arrestable event. But yeah- I did read that they had pulled up one of the manhole covers - dumb, dumb, dumb.
