I wanted to get BB's attorney's name and a couple other things before posting, I'll add the information as it becomes available.
When TD and I walked into Courtroom A-1, BB was sitting in the first seat, front row. He made eye contact with TD, it was that flash of a second recognition and then nothing (kind of humorous actually). He doesn't know me, he was never in court the days I showed up but I recognized him immediately! He and his posse took up half of the row with his Gma sitting next to him, then his brother (KB), 2 FOB, his mom (MB) and then another FOB.
Court started right at 8:30 - but BB wasn't called until after the first recess at around 10:30.
BB spent most of his time resting his head on his hands. While we waited an attorney walked into the courtroom and he acknowledged BB, a few minutes later he took BB out into the hall, MB followed. They were gone for about 10 minutes, when they returned MB looked really pizzed and BB's face was bright red. Sure would have loved to have heard what was said.
When Judge Ogden called BB he approached the podium and his attorney asked for 6 witness statements; he claimed not to know the names of these witnesses, the dates from trial, the judge, the court reporter, NOTHING! When asked BB said he thought the judge's name was Zacky...yes after sitting in the courtroom for over two years and testifying in a trial, that was the best BB could do. :waitasec: TD and I were dumbfounded. Well, Judge Ogden was having none of that! He told them he was denying the request, the attorney started to reply to this and Judge Ogden denied him two more times! The judge made a phone call then told BB to give the names of the witnesses to the bailiff and he would make sure they get those 6 transcripts. Next hearing is 9/20.
We were expecting an arraignment or a preliminary hearing - this wasn't either so I guess we'll see what happens.
The rumor mill is running rampant in the AV that BB has moved to Valencia (about 90 minutes away). Another rumor, KB (BB's brother) is saying BB was at home all day on 3/18, aside from going to work and out to lunch with SB.
So whose transcripts from trial do you all think BB and his attorney want?
