We are allowed film all witnesses unless the judge specifically tells us not before each witness is called.

Sidebar is over. Jury entering.

It's over the confusion on filming witnesses. Judge Glanville has not issued an order, he merely asked the media if it was ok to not film...which is something I've never heard. So, we've asked him to clarify.

Judge Glanville: "we don't provide lunch, we have bad credit (he's joking)."
Bring anything you want to snack on, but no alcohol: said Judge Glanville.

 

[Tippy Lynn]

I don’t think it’s right that lunch isn't provided to the jurors.

 

[arielilane]

@ShaddiAbusaid

A juror just asked if the court could provide lunch. Judge G tells them not until they start deliberating.
