Opened.
Judge Sedwick: Has SC mandate been issued? When due? What do you think 9th circuit to rule?
Kendall Day (Prosecutor): [Began explaining the issues and was interrupted by Judge
Sedwick, "I just asked if you knew when, not the issues. And Day said he didn't know.]
Douglas Pope (Weyhrauch's attorney): A couple of months, minimum. Who knows but 2 months minimum and then there could be a petition for rehearing.
Sedwick: I think minimum of 6 weeks, plus. . . I don't know that we can meet in September. Not worth meeting until 9th Circuit rules.
Day: The court will be able to proceed more expeditiously if some of the ancillary issues are resolved before.
Sedwick: I'm sure you can work things out beforehand. My order for this morning is Sept. 13th date is vacated and will set a date as soon as possible.
The courtroom was pretty much empty. There were three other media folks, Rick Smith's attorney (or so I was told but I didn't recognize him), and then a man and a woman who turned out to be FBI agents who sat with the Prosecutor. I was trying to match the names on the court list - I knew Karen Loefler wasn't there - with the people at the Prosecutor's table and couldn't. So after I went up to the man and woman who'd been sitting with the prosecutor and introduced myself as a blogger and asked who they each were. The man responded with mild derision in his voice, "I'm not telling a blogger who I am. Ask the attorney."
I introduced myself to the attorney who identified himself, very politely, as Kendall Day and the other two as FBI agents. I normally wouldn't put this sort of trivia down. On the surface, it wasn't a big deal, but it seems to me that FBI agents should treat people politely, as individuals not as members of a class, until they have justification to act otherwise.
Maybe we should create a new term here: media profiling.
