For the first time since the press have been allowed to take computers into the courtroom, which began during the Kott trial, I was asked more than perfunctory questions today.
The guard took down the url of my blog and my telephone number. He let me in with the computer and said, we'll get back to you. There's no way I could have made this evening's long post without the computer. We'll see tomorrow if bloggers count.

It counts, in Hungary the prime minister also writes blog or somebody writes on behalf of the prime minister because they want to show his human side.
ReplyDeleteYes it should count.
ReplyDeleteThe best coverage is on the blogs.
The blogs are becoming a key source of independant news.
TY for your efforts
Indeed, it's refreshing to read your daily observations in these proceedings.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I wasn't asked any questions today. Not even for my press pass. Later, Phil Munger who is part of the USA v. Kohring blog told me he'd asked about his getting a computer in and about me. He said the guard was told to let me in. Something about being grandfathered in. He wasn't allowed to. I don't think he even had it with him.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why other bloggers shouldn't be allowed to bring in their computers or what criteria they use to make those decisions.
I'll check on this. But I forgot to mention that when I came for the Anderson sentencing I was told I couldn't bring in the computer - that was a ruling solely for the Kott trial. Since then, it was extended to the Kohring trial as well. So this is an exception to the Anchorage US District Court rules, not a change.
