3. The whole crowd needs a heavy karmic wake-up, but admittedly she really rankles me.

The reasons are likely obvious to most who have followed her, but it starts and ends with her self-serving sense of entitlement and the overt assumption that no one and nothing can touch her. True of the whole clan, surely, but she irks me the most.

2. Get thee to the greatest page

4. what does it matter what wiesels lawyers say?

All they want to do is push the trial out. The judge didn't seem impressed.

It is odd that a defense lawyer would tell a judge his client will receive more indictments, but the prosecutor doesn't respond.

Of course wiesel is his own prosecutor.

He deserves pre-trial detention. Then he can delay all he likes.

5. It's not at all odd that prosecutors didn't respond in open court to this claim

Grand jury proceedings are secret and a prosecutor is not going to be baited by a defense attorney into revealing information about a secret grand jury proceeding in open court.

6. true...

I guess I just found the whole thing odd.

7. None of that is strange at all

Defense attorneys always try to get delays - that's part of their job - but the judge doesn't have to go along with it. And it sounds like this one probably won't.

8. yeah, I'm not a lawyer...

So someone saying you can't try me until you know everything I did wrong just strikes me as odd.

Not that it is odd. It just strikes me that way.

9. It's a delay tactic But it also has some legal sense

They're saying we can't adequately defend our client unless we know everything he's going to be charged with.

But I don't think that excuse is going to fly since any indictments issued will likely be handed down before the trial.

10. I think he means: More Indictments - More co-defendants.

Otherwise they would probably refer to an expected superceding indictment.
