Maxine Bernstein | mbernstein@oregonian.com9 minutes agoJudge said, it's true, that he did not consider Terri Horman's constitutional arguments at prior hearing, because they were not expressed.
Said there's no basis for him to reconsider the ruling, and is not going to do.
If he were to reconsider the ruling, I'd adhere to my initial decision. "It would not change,'' Kantor says.

Judge Kantor also says:
"I will not prohibit the evidence at this time."
I will allow Mr. Horman and Ms. Horman to provide a complete record.
It is likely that I will give zero to very little weight that cannot be held up to cross-examination or impeachment.
So if the Sanchez testimony turns out to be the only basis to the Kaine Horman case, "perhaps a fresh look has to be in order,'' judge says.
Judge : "I am not going to abate this case.. People's lives have to move on.''
There may be appellate review of my decisions. "It's only going to get worse or more difficult,'' if there's a delay. "So we're going to go forward. There is no plan for me to delay or abate these proceedings.''
Maxine Bernstein | mbernstein@oregonian.com2 minutes agoTo recap:
Judge will allow Kaine Horman's lawyers to present testimony from the landscaper Rodolfo Sanchez, and won't allow cross-examination of the landscaper on any matters involving his last 15-minute conversation with Terri Horman, or his talks with law enforcement.
But judge said he will give little or no weight to evidence that's presented where cross-examination is not permitted.
