Wood wants to clarify that the state has never gone on tv as claimed in the defense docs, and he nor LE has never given an interview.

Wood is stating that audio and transcripts for the prelim is what he wants... no video for prelims is what he's wanting.

Prior (Chad's atty) states his concern is historical documents says basis is public trial and public has a right to view proceedings. He says 2 options - open court to Chad's family for support etc..:rolleyes:. but not possible due to COVID, so option #2 is to livestream and he wants original decision to stand

Means (Lori's atty) states cat is out of the bag. He doesn't think Freemont county will be affected differently. He doesn't see a reason to amend right now.

Mr. Steven Wright (media atty) is discussing clerical issue he became aware of Thursday and submitted brief the next day. Judge doesn't want to allow him to speak other than bullet points today.

He thinks video feed is least intrusive method and ensures accurate information disseminated. He states audio and transcript after the fact interferes with media coverage and accomplishes nothing to States' concern. Shutting off video feed is same as shutting courtroom even if audio and transcripts after the fact.

Wood comes back with even the Supreme Court of the US is not livestreaming video.
 
  • #614
Decision: DENIED!
No other viable option other than one media outlet to do video and one media to do pictures.

We will have livestream for both prelims!

Judge says high profile case. Court needs to be transparent and folks need to be able to scrutinize. He says COVID 19 is unprecedented, and courts have put in many orders to ensure open. April 22nd order says must be held remotely. Court has put in plexiglass, and needs to be held in person by attys and others. Public access must be limited due to Covid though.
July 24th order speaks to others needed to be in hearing etc. which includes points re Covid to tailor access.

TL;DW (too long, didn't watch)

Wood (State):
Clarifies that he has not appeared on TV regarding this case and that the State is not asking for closed preliminary hearings but is asking that these hearings not be televised bc of potential for biasing jurors. He believes that video is not necessary when transcripts are available.

Prior (Daybell): Argues that the public has a right to see/view proceedings. There has already been a significant amount of media coverage, so he doesn't see how this would make a difference. He sees two options: open courthouse to any interested parties to be present. This he does not see as a possibility, due to COVID. The other option is to continue forward as court had ordered (via Zoom)

Means (Vallow): "The cat's out of the bag... I don't think there's any difference if it's televised or not" because of the media attention already.

Wright: Only became aware of the issue Thursday. Believes video livestream is appropriate: least intrusive, provides accurate information (rather than secondhand by media). Rule 45 did not take into consideration our current circumstances (referring to COVID)

Wood (State): Points out that the Supreme Court is not even allowing livestreaming.

Prior (Daybell): Would prefer to have an open courtroom in-person, but that's not feasible right now.

Means (Vallow): The public's right to access is most important here

JUDGE: July order (to livestream) will stand. Denied motion to reconsider.

I kind of like this ruling. The defense argued for livestreaming. Gonna be kind of hard to ask for a change of venue. I don't know if Woods did this on purpose, but well played no matter. :)
 
  • #617
I am so tired of these hearings, Ready for some real trial action.
 
  • #618
I wonder why Lori waived her right to appear today. Does she not want to see Chad, or not want Chad to see her?

I'm guessing she doesn't want Chad to see her. He dresses up for court; she gets stripes and ugly hair and cheap mask. :) IMO
 
  • #620
Imo....LVD did not appear because her physical appearance changed. No hair color, no hair trim, no perm, lack of makeup. This may be allowed at trial. To some females the lack of above is a big deal.
Also she may not have wanted to see husband #5.

Chad is there as it is one way out of a cell for awhile. He appears to be more engaged with his defense.

I kept wondering why the prosecutor filed this motion. Possibly so the defense cannot say media is interfering with selection of a jury for their clients. The prosecutor gave the defense a chance....now he basically is saying do not ask for a change of venue on this issue. I gave you a chance and you did not want it.

all mooo
