Trial Musings 9: 15 Minutes Of Fame, Times Two


From the Times Leader:
"Martin, whom Melnick advised Olszewski would be on the witness stand for a length of time, testified for about 30 minutes."
You know...I really don't have much more to say on this. :-)


Update: Citizen's Voice adds this:

"Judge Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. told jurors before the break that Martin’s testimony would be long."
and this:

"Jurors listened to two of the taped conversations, which lasted less than 10 minutes each."
By my calculations, 30 minutes - (10 minutes x 2) = 10 minutes of actual time Melnick risked having Renee Martin under questioning.

Quicky, just out of curiousity: Have you heard any court house scuttlebut as to why Melnick all but yanked her from this trial at the last minute?

I'm sure all of you out there will forgive me for my perhaps unseemly interest in this mystery. :-)

That poor, groaning broom, straining under the bulk of a heifer.

Yeah, the problem with sneaking in the back door like that is, it presents the lurking cameraman with a profile shot. :-)

Normally, I would concur, assuming a real lady were truly present and not a base, common woman of the streets, given to brawling and misrepresenting material facts that could do serious harm to others.
