It's sad that I was gone for 30 mins on a conf. call and there hasn't been one update yet.

Sad, isn't it? We're almost up to the morning break and WRAL has given their audience NOTHING!! :maddening:

 

[cityslick]

You may be right, but I'm not gonna bet on that one... But how would they do it? By just showing more of the same??? I dunno.

But you have a point -- In a way, he needs to get up there, but it's too big a risk. I still wonder, as some others do, if the defense will just say, "The defense rests," just to show their disdain and to show that it is not worth defending. Big risk, yes, as has already been offered.

OTOH, I can't see Kurtz missing out on another opportunity to strut, obfuscate, and proclaim for three more hours. :waitasec:

I can't see it. It allows the state to destroy him on cross.

we can only hope there is a time limit on closing arguments

I had to appear for jury duty (as a new American citizen that was a bit daunting) for a civil case a few months ago. Mobile signals were fine in the court room I was in but bailiffs and judges alike will confiscate the phone if they see you using it. I never picked up a WiFi signal on my iPhone but there are free hotspots all around that one can pick up from the ground floor (The Oxford, etc.). Without some sort of tethering to a mobile device or other connection that relies on mobile service I wouldn't plan on doing anything from the courthouse itself and I certainly wouldn't plan on doing anything from the court room without risk of losing your phone.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Don't want anything confiscated.

I definitely saw on camera a shot of AS sitting in the courtroom playing with her Blackberry, so . . .

It very much does happen, completely agreed. In the case I was involved in though the judge was a stickler and any time he would see someone in the gallery in that kind of hunched over typing stance that those of us with smart phones tend to pose in he would have it confiscated.

Considering it says on the outside of the court room to turn all cell phones off on a big red sign I'm sure it would be noticeable if all of the media covering this story were tweeting from inside the room, as well as any other observers such as the ones belonging to this forum.

The defense said in opening statements that the 6:05 call was to find the phone.

While I will agree that this is the claim of the defense we are still left to ponder why this call did not appear on the billing record. If the call was answered it would have surely been a billable call. Instead, we only see this call on the detailed records which indicate to me that the call was not answered yet it had a duration of 23 seconds.

Well, I thought it was until I saw that follow up tweet. What I get for jumping to conclusions.

LOL, don't feel bad, I was right there with you for a second until I saw the next update.

I thought Brad said he was sleeping not working on EXCEL or whatever spreadsheet!

[PolkSaladAnnie]

I don't understand why they don't tweet more frequently?

Gzheeeezsh, Palomine. Well said. We ought to make this Quote of the Day. And we've only just started!

Couldn't agree more!
