Thanks, Niner, for your awesome coverage! You're not leaving us for the press corps are you?

 

[alexwood]

Sure wish we had the benefit of cameras in the courtroom, as with the Jodi Arias trials. This case is so technical that there would be a lot more interest in the public were they able to watch this.

Hi Niner...:seeya:

Thanks for the tweets. :blowkiss:

 

[Niner]

Thanks, Niner, for your awesome coverage! You're not leaving us for the press corps are you?

Oh no - never! I'm retired! LOL! But if it gets late - like 11:30pm my time - it will be 4:30pm ET - I might have to catch up with the tweets in the morning.

Anyone know "what" time they stop for the day? TIA!

Sure wish we had the benefit of cameras in the courtroom, as with the Jodi Arias trials. This case is so technical that there would be a lot more interest in the public were they able to watch this.

The last trial didn't have cameras either, unfortunately. It's nice to watch it live-stream and also see the tweets.

Oh - I see a tweet pop up!
