8:20 AM
I'm up on the 9th floor of the Criminal Justice Center waiting for Judge Ohta's courtroom to open. The floor is pretty empty at 8:18 AM, but not surprising for a Friday.
While I was in the lobby waiting for an elevator, I overheard the following: "I have an appearance with Judge Perry at 8:30 AM. What time do you think I'll be done.... 8:34 AM?" I have heard people say that Judge Perry moves things along very quickly in his courtroom. It's my opinion that voir dire for the month long Lazarus trial was completed in record time.
On May 24th, I missed the last hearing on the Gargiulo case because of verdict watch in the Kelly Soo Park case. It's my understanding that Judge Ohta has not approved journalists to use their laptops for note taking in his courtroom. I will have an update on today's hearing much later tonight.
For those of you who haven't been following this case, Michael Gargiulo is alleged to have killed two women and attempted to kill a third. You can read about it on the Michael Gargiulo Quick Links Page.
