Ok, I’m back home now. They didn’t let me in, as it was just the attorneys and the judge in chambers. NV did not appear. Or if she did, they must have brought her in some other way, she didn’t come from the second floor hallway.
As they left chambers, I followed the attorneys to the elevator. I had recognized Shrager. I asked them if pretrial conference was down, he said yes, we set trial dates. I asked if the dates would be published on the docket, he said yes. He then asked who I was. I said I’m just here to get info for a social media site. He asked which one. I answered, WS. We three entered the small elevator. Doors closed. He said wonder if it will move? I said well, it’s Friday and I’m stuck in an elevator with two handsome men, what can go wrong? He chuckled and said ‘not so bad then?’ I answered no, with a smile. Elevator doors opened and we went our separate ways.
The only other interesting thing was a man in the hall asked if I was a public defender. I said no, here to observe. He still proceeded to tell me his story of being extradited to Pittsburgh on rape charges that he already served ten years for in Georgia. Nice guy, soft spoken. I had to interrupt him to leave and chase down Shrager though.
That’s all there was today.
