:bump:

I'm going to check Twitter and see if we have any reporters in the courtroom. :fingerscrossed:

 

[SurfieTX]

Maybe this reporter will. She wrote the article that Granny posted above and followed a trial last week. I do not have a Twitter account, but if one of y'all do, can you tweet her and ask her if she will be there/following the trial?

The jurors were even asked if they are comfortable with individuals who lead alternative lifestyles and whether that will influence their decision in this case. The trial is expected to last about a week.

If found guilty, Cyr faces up to life in prison.

I want to know why is lawyer is in the hospital

 

[SurfieTX]

The judge said Assistant Public Defender Jacob Benedict had been admitted to the hospital Tuesday morning and would not be able to return for the trial.

The public defender's office confirmed Benedict was taken to the hospital but no information was given on his condition

I agree completely. It has been a little over FOUR years! Come on!

I too am frustrated with all the delays that have occurred in this case but because there is no statute of limitations in murder cases, Joseph Cyr must remain in custody and face trial.

Two lawyers usually work together on a case but apparently not in this one.
