Now that the filibuster of a hearing is over we get to wait yet again for rulings from the judge. And look forward to more hearings and rulings before the trial. I must love to waste my time on this sham of a trial.

From the quoted MSM:

  • 11:16 a.m. The judge is now discussing the defense's motion to be reimbursed more than $12,000 for the expenses of one of its experts who recently visited the Canton Police Department. Defense attorney Alan Jacksons says he will submit a supplement to that motion. The judge says they will discuss again next week.
During the hearing, I understood the Court asking for "the agreement" and it soon became clear Judge was not talking about the pre-arrangement between the parties but the agreement (i.e., scope of work) between the defense and their expert witness, Matthew Erickson, and defense attorney Alan Jackson said he will supplement the defense's motion. Seems to me Erickson included this in his affidavit, paragraph 3, but perhaps not sufficient to evaluate against the costs being sought for reimbursement by the defense.

3. The purpose of my trip was to allow me to extract surveillance video from the Canton
Police Department's Exacq Vision DVR system in a forensically-sound manner which
aligns with methods accepted and commonly used in the digital forensic community,
as well as review any video footage preserved within the system from January 29,
2022, between 12:00 a.m. and 11 :59 p.m. I visited the Canton Police Department on
December 12, 2024, to do so.

Imo, typical of this judge to say she wants more time and/or info. Jmo it's already totally clear that the expert/ KR defense requires reimbursement and the justification is writ plain. Did the CW counter in any way at all? Or were they relying on Judge Cannone to do exactly what she has done. More delay, distract imo. Typical. No patience at all anymore for these bias shenanigans. Moo

Yes, I have a feeling the CW will be filing a lot of responses in the coming hours-- because they need little time to prepare for the hearings when the Court typically grants them favor. JMO....

It will be interesting to see just how blatant her ruling will be. The money due the defense being the least of the elephant in the room while the disappearing video remains business as usual. JMOO

But, but, but, judge wants to move this trial along. So busy setting up her time table that will bend for the cw. JMOO

Motion to dismiss in Feb some time IIUC, may also be an interesting measure of Judge Cannone's potential bias. JMO

Personally, I feel the best chance KR has of avoiding this second trial on charge 1 at least, is via the current appeal. By that I mean there is probably more chance of success there than of Judge Cannone dismissing the case on the basis of the defense's completely valid grounds. Jmo

Third more remote to zero possibility is the FBI suddenly reveals a parallel investigation and puts the cuffs on new suspect/s. Only including because of fbi prior interest and because the death of a police officer coupled with a bias investigation may justify their continuing involvement behind the scenes. Just wishful thinking no doubt.
 
"The void in our lives grows with each passing day, week, month and year," O'Keefe's family said in a statement to WBZ-TV. "His absence is profound and we will continue to seek justice for him. He is always in our hearts."

"We're going to come in and talk about their difference of opinion? There's no basis," he said. "There's no dispute over methodology."

Cannone said it sounds like a difference in a opinion versus an issue of credibility, but she will decide if another hearing is warranted by next week.

Wonder why they will show it when she is still going to trial
 
As always my opinions only, this whole re-trial is a joke, a kangaroo court, it's embarrassing to actual justice. It doesn't matter what side you sit on, did she do it or did she not, the corruption and illegal activity by law enforcement turned it into a farce.

What a waste of public funds
 

Karen Read case: Judge decides reporter need not hand over off-the-record interview notes​


From the quoted MSM link:

In an order obtained from the court on Monday, Cannone credits Voss with convincing her to reconsider her previous position.

"Voss has articulated a compelling argument that requiring disclosure of the notes poses a greater risk to the free flow of information than the other materials produced," Cannone wrote. "Conversely, the Commonwealth has not demonstrated to the Court that its need for handwritten notes, separate from the audio recordings, outweighs the danger posed to the public interest in the free flow of information."
