I just posted a link to this case over at Jessica's thread.... hoping that was okay!

I'll see which tweets you are doing and see if anyone else is doing any. It IS past 10am ET time - isn't it?

Thanks Niner! I appreciate your awesomeness!!

tweets are coming in slowly, looks like the lawyers and defendant are in the judge's chamber; I am going to copy/paste and compile a whole series of tweets then post them all together. I will only embed when there is a photo of interest. I will not do the Cara Thomas, if you want to post those.
