At the very beginning of the hearing, someone called from the Scruggs side to say that Attorney General Moore would like to sit at counsel table. Keker stood up and said, “It wasn’t us your honor.”
Weirdest moment at the hearing

Could you give us a sense of the “mood” of the defendants? Were they all present?
“It wasn’t your honor”? Huh?
Greenlee was there. Did they mean him? I was 3 min late..shhhh don’t tell my boss!
Alyssa, since your boss obviously doesn’t know from the internet tooobz, you’re safe. (Tooobz with stories and shit in ‘em — that’s what Sen. Ted Stevens thinks “the internets” are, just like the Eagle, I gather.)
so is the Web like a tooobz boobz (reversal of the old boob tube for tv)…hehe. Yeah…i need a vacation
*sighs*
Alyssa… do you have any clarification of that statement above that NMC posted re: Mike Moore?
Yeah, tooobz fulla stuff. This from the august head (at the time) of the Senate committee on telecommunications. I ain’t lyin’.
No, My Thoughts..I was a couple minutes late so I didn’t hear it. And I really wouldn’t of noticed if he was there (full house) and didn’t expect him to be. But I will look when I go back at 1:15.
PS. How do you all get your little blackberry things in there?! They won’t let me bring nuttin! No phone, recorder, computer…
Thanks… and thanks to all of you who are putting this up for us and giving great legal comments… Muchos gracias
there are two posts about the hearing. There’s a lot more to come. I need to go back to court.
Lawyers are allowed to bring in computers and cell phones into federal court in North Mississippi. This wasn’t always the case, but an order was entered about a year or two ago allowing attorneys to enter with the phones. The order is on the court’s website. The Federal Marshals are very strict about it. They have a roster at the checkpoint with every attorney’s name who is authorized to practice before the court. If one is not on the list, proof of being an attorney must be shown or the phone is seized or it has to be taken back outside. As an aside, the federal courts lag far behind our state courts in allowing the press to report properly. Even in our Mississippi state courts, television and recording are now allowed. The federal courts seem to operate in a cloak of secrecy.
