Re: two court days in one week.
It may or may not be related, but the de Malmanche drug trial was supposed to start last week and was cancelled because, for the second time, the prosecutor couldn't find a licensed translator. Perhaps that left a hole in the schedule and HM/TS got an extra day.
I'm trying to keep an eye on the de Malmanche trial just to see if I can get any insights into the way the courts work. Also, Soenardi was peripherally involved very early on, but I think he screwed dM over because he didn't get $$$. This case is getting interesting because the initial court appearance was cancelled twice because...the prosecutor couldn't/wouldn't provide a licensed translator. ???
They're scheduled to try again today. dM's New Zealand attorney has gone to Bali and has arranged his own licensed translator. It remains to be seen if the prosecutor will allow that translator or use it as an excuse to further delay the trial. It's interesting, because HM/TS appear to have the same translator each time (so far).
I'm still wondering why the second check to Soenardi was only for $25K.
BTW...HM's not bothering to do her hair and makeup for court any more. I wonder if she sees the news reports? That picture of her putting on her "I think about my mom every day" look is a classic because it is so unconvincing.
