The government's attorneys have said they now want to split the two cases so they can appeal the judge's ruling not to include the claim that Kott and Weyhrauch were required by state law to disclose that they were negotiating with VECO for jobs.
Weyhrauch had tried to sever the cases before and the government opposed it. Now the government wants them severed so they can appeal the ruling in Weyhrauch's case, but not Kott's. They have lots of other things on Kott.
Weyhrauch's attorney, Doug Pope, argued that a case in the 9th circuit allowed the judge to dismiss charges if he found the Government was using the appeal as a delaying tactic. So things are in recess as the judge reads the related cases.
On another note, I mentioned that John McKay is the attorney for KTUU and the Daily News who are 'interested parties' in the case. One thing he's gotten for them is that journalists can now bring the cell phones past the security.
More later.
