I guess they are arguing about the defense's request about withholding information?

Yep -- We NEED that interview with Shanita Love -- I feel sure that there is more to it than just LAL telling her that he did it....but apparently judge only needs till 10:00 (20 min from now) to decide....

We;re back on WRAL. Nothing's going on -- wandering around the courtroom...

IMO, if His Honor allows material in, and no trial dismissal, there will still be an appeal, no matter what. Nothing to lose... JMHO

You have a good point there, because LL is already serving a life sentence.

I thought we would have more people here with us posting and watching. Maybe they will show up later?

The Judge is late!

I did a little checking into Stormy Ellis the 2nd Chair prosecutor, and I saw that she has had a fair amount of experience with gang prosecution & investigation. This should be a valuable angle in this trial. Good info on the profile.

  Judge in #LaurenceLovette case won't dismiss murder charge but won't allow critical testimony unless defense opens door to it. #wral

Big decision, IMO. Not a surprise to me.

On with the show!!

I wonder how many times this defense lady uses her analogy to compare with the law. OMG

 

[borndem]

I'm right here, J, I'll let you know if I'm gonna be away... ;-)

I thought her opening was horrible! Couldn't understand what time they are coming back; morning break....I think ten minutes not sure.
