I don’t know much but I know more than you do.

It appears that the case will actually go to trial week after next – the last week of July.  It will start with jury selection, then opening statements, and finally the trial.

Here’s where we are.  Jones has already been found “guilty” of defamation so now a jury must decide what the punishment should be.  And in civil cases, punishment means money.

I was able to watch a pre-trial motion hearing all day on Friday on You Tube.  The video was fine but the audio was awful.  HBO has been given special permission by the judge to video the entire trial.  I do not know if they will put it on YouTube for the trial or not.

You will know all the details when I do.  Meanwhile, Mark and his partner Bill handled the press inquires after the hearing.  You can watch it here.

The two senior partners in the firm have decided to help with the trial because they have gotten so involved.  Mark and Bill are so relieved to have the experienced help.  They are a band of brothers.

If I am counting correctly Jones is on his 12th lawyer since this all began. His lawyers would not talk to the press.  I simply cannot imagine why.  Are they not proud of their client?
