I do believe a trial of this length is difficult for anyone to cover, and that doesn’t even account for the tremendous amount of down time in this particular trial. I believe Law and Crime were telling the truth when they stated it was tough to have an audio/visual recording setup tied up for so long and to have to pay the cameraman and whoever ( audio person) else when there is so much non in-session time.
I think it's because L&C said they would be there, it seems that all the reporters stopped going, stopped covering it.... not even articles about the trial that I can find. Weekly updates, or whatever that is that gets linked here sometimes, but they are probably doing what we are doing... watching L&C's choppy live stream LOLI don't know, but I have no other explanation for no other news outlet covering this case. SBD county is HUGE county, not really densely populated, but it isn't Podunk either. I can't see what could possibly be preventing the local news outlet from doing a live stream.
Well, this defense team has displayed quite a bit of theatrics in this trial. I would guess they were practicing pretrial theatrics when they made that claim. It doesn’t appear to be as popular as they expected it to be.Grrrr, I don't have the link to the local print news that posted it but..........they were doing pre-trial coverage and the defense was trying to bar live video from the trial proceedings because it was a "National media story"...............
I would be leary of anything she posts about, she is obviously in the defense's pocket. How does she know the things she claimed about Rudin?I went back to the L&C chat, earlier today it sounded like we might lose the feed again... which it does sound like it might be a possibility... as much as the feed is annoying sometimes, I would rather have it than not have nothing at all LOL
Anyway... I saw some of cathy's comments in chat, and thought I would copy them...
cathyrusson: Kavanaugh is on defense witness list
cathyrusson: so is Susan Blake
cathyrusson: I guess I shouldn't say 'witness list" there is no public list, but I do know the defense plans to call both of them
cathyrusson: McStay - I heard that Patrick McStay was going to be called by defense, same with Susan Blake and Dan Kavanaugh. Now....what will actually end up happening, who knows?
cathyrusson: McStay - We don't know for sure if there's solid proof Kavanaugh was in Hawaii. Hasn't been offered yet
cathyrusson: McStay - I can always get the audio if needed and I'm not saying we're pulling the camera out, but we will make decisions based on upcoming trials. I just need this judge to keep this thing going. Sigh
cathyrusson: I still don't believe the murders happened in the house
cathyrusson: In fairness they said they weren't ready with witness tomorrow or Wed, but possibly could on Thurs. The judge decided to go ahead and take it all off until state's last witness next Tues.
cathyrusson: The state said last week that they planned on resting by end of week....so Monday isn't really end of week. lol
cathyrusson: Actually, I think you're right about state saying they could rest today. Now I remember the judge telling the jury there could be time off in between. Maybe he had told the defense he would give them a day or two? I have no idea. Who can keep anything straight in this trial?
cathyrusson: McStay - So Dr. Rudin never testified in front of the jury. Turns out he was sort of all over the place. He also never wrote reports and also deleted some stuff. The state's last witness, next week is Eugene Liscio. He's based out of Canada. He is a forensic visualization specialist.
I thought the one about Dr. Rudin was interesting... still don't know if it was the judges ruling or the State making the decision that it was not a good idea...

The gravity of it all is starting to take effect.Speculating here. Just my observation. Chase looks crestfallen, MOO.

Sounds like all the delays and dark days could be part of the problem with L&C. Difficult to have cameras in place to stream when there’s no work to produce. JMO. Can’t say I blame them for wanting to move on, if this is the case.
IIRC just before the trial started the judge said only one camera in court that could share with other mediaI don't even know if he's there... lol
I had thought after reading so much on here that the DA had no evidence, was presenting a shoddy case, maybe the Def would just not present a case. Just rest and let the jury have it.
But WOW after listening to almost an hour of the Judge give his reasoning for no directed verdict as requested by the Defense. The Defense better bring a wheelbarrow full of mud to throw at their case.
IMO not looking good.
JMO
Well this other guy, he may have already had worked on the very same thing Rudin did considering the amount of time we are looking at. I can't fathom he threw together the same thing Rudin did over a week.I really don't care who's pocket she's in LOL I suppose she probably works for them or is related to Merritt somehow as well?As for Dr. Rudin, there may be a ruling that we have missed. It could be that the State decided not to call him for those above reasons.... do you have a better explanation? Please feel free to share it if you know
She is the ONLY one posting any sort of information.... I would be happy to post anything from any other reporter, or anyone that has some sort of court information outside of what we see on the feeds. Feel free to reply with the list of any reporters that I should follow and I promise I will share all their tweets in regards to this trial.
Love this.Yeah this is the part that it becomes clear that the defense is all mouth and no trousers as we say over this side of the Atlantic.
Please, can someone direct me to where I can hear this?
Hubby has been in hospital and things have been crazy. I cannot keep up.
Thank you, and if that is the case, then it makes it extra crappy if L&C decide not to stay if they agreed to be the "pool" cam. I recall the first day it was a local newstation's camera... and they left early!!!! LOLIIRC just before the trial started the judge said only one camera in court that could share with other media

On Rudin, it could be that the state felt he wouldn't be effective in his testimony. He does have a very thick accent. I had to strain at times to make out what he was saying. I don't have a lot of experience in trial watching but I imagine Rudin may have not been a likable enough witness. JMO
You are the one who made the accusation, not me. I am all ears as to how you came to this conclusion.
