Is today the day?

Even if they release it today to SA, will it still take a week or more before the media (and us) can get a copy - kind of like when documents are released to JB and we still don't have it yet?

I don't see the need for a delay in the release...The SA's as well as JB were all PRESENT at the sidebar...nothing "unknown" to either parties. No need to look over and research by JB...
Anything yet?
It's after 5pm. I wonder if we'll hear anything else about this today? I was hoping for a doc dump either today or tomorrow since JB got some stuff last week. (fingers crossed!)
It is very possible that the sidebar transcript will not be released to the public.
Then what is the SA's point in demanding it? Now I'm really
Wouldn't Judge S. have to put some sort of order in place to keep it from the public due to the Sunshine Law? I guess I don't understand.

I think you are right Patty. I got to thinking that any and all sidebars are kept from the public. It doesn't make any sense that a private sidebar conversation would be released under the sunshine laws.The State is not demanding it, the State is asking the Judge to order the court reporter to transcribe "for purpose of trial" the Sidebar Conference at the ending of the hearing.
IMO, the day of the sidebar, the Judge hit a button and a tape recorder recorded the sidebar conversation. More then likely at the end of the hearing the tape was taken and was placed somewhere for future reference. The court reporter probably has not listened to the tape based solely on the fact the the state is asking the Judge to order the court reporter to transcribe it.
Again IMO, the sidebar conversation may not be released to the public and will only be used "for purpose of trial".

Not sure why the SA had to make a motion for Judge Strickland to sign to have the discussion typed. One would think the SA had open access to ALL court transcripts. On the video the transcriber was shown doing her thing while the sidebar was held.
The court reporter was just sitting there while the sidebar was happening. YouTube - Motions Hearing 3/25/09 Part 6 (End)
This is why I feel that the sidebar was not transcribed at the end of the court hearing. The court reporter would have transcribed her notes from the hearing, but the sidebar conversation, IMO, went on a tape and was never transcribed.
