I take it back: no court inquiry. O'Mara asked for a recess to discuss with his client. O'Mara is still fighting a court inquiry. Nelson is now putting Zimmerman under oath.

This court system is so royally screwed up.

Zimmerman testifies under oath that he has waived right to a pre-trial immunity hearing.

Heads up: Zimmerman was not asked, and did not assert, that he has waived his right to claim immunity. Media will twist this point.

Now moving on to unsealing Crump's submission of the HOA settlement.

Nelson indicates that she will unseal a redacted version of the settlement, and unredacted versions will be provided to the parties. Neither defense nor state will object.

Mr. Crump, come on down. You're the next contestant on The Price is Right! (This should be good.)

ETA: Amazingly, Crump doesn't object to release of the redacted copy. (Maybe he actually read the defense's response to his inane motion to seal?)

Asking Mr Crump if he agrees....

Now, moving on to the motion to strike.

Addressing BDLR drunken response on a sanctions motion...


"Horrific attack on me"

It was I think a direct result of BDLR reading Traybot blogs and getting sucked in

BDLR OFF topic... I would Ban him

Nelson suggests going thru it and redacting bits.... MOM maintains he wants it STRUCK!!!

Make BDLR redo it....


Nelson says no of course

Nelson says that she will redact certain elements of the motion, but wants the on-point parts of the motion to stand. O'Mara again argues for striking the motion outright.

Nelson will not strike. Tells O'Mara to tell BDLR and the Court which parts of the motion need to be redacted.

Now moving on to the substance of the original motion. Nelson indicates that she is now, in essence, conducting a Richardson hearing.

West takes the stand, as a witness for O'Mara.

Is John Galt following this hearing thread? I'm curious as to his thoughts regarding Nelson's unwillingness to strike BDLR's obviously scurrilous pleading, much less to sanction him? Given the nature of the pleading itself, does her unwillingness to respond appropriately constitute prima facie evidence of bias, and prejudice against the defense?

(Yes: I'm thinking along the lines of grounds for a Writ of Prohibition.)

West calls out BDLR for asking him one of his standard, compound questions.

BDLR is feisty, but he is no match for West. This is fun.

BDLR is a petty, defensive, little man.

BDLR is getting very mad that he is being put in the hot seat.

CTH gets a mention.... Congratulations Sundance and all my fellow Treepers.....

And again...... congrats again

BDLR is harping on the CTH. He really loves to claim that what is posted means something.
