#vandytrial Long: talking about "all-star cast of lawyers" representing some prosecution witnesses, never seen so many "lawyered-up" @WKRN

Chris Conte ‏@NC5_ChrisConte · 5m5 minutes ago

Chris Conte ‏@chrisconte · 4m4 minutes ago
Defense: On Count 9 we're charged w/ illegal photography and that's what he did. He (Vandenburg) took photos ..it was deplorable #vandytrial

#vandytrial Long: Vandenburg did take "deplorable pictures" but other counts based on "perhaps" @WKRN

 

[~Lyric~]

G'Morning,
Listening to Fletcher Long, give his closing. At least he isn't as boring as Robinson yesterday.
What do you think of his closing so far?

Soon we will be on verdict watch.
