Notes from last year's courtroom CSA hearings

I went back and look at some notes a couple of people sent me last year during the court hearings on the first CSA. The Judge had laid out 2 primary questions - A and B, in a logical and orderly sequence. The Defense came in and wanted (sort of demanded) to present B first with an immediate ruling, so that they would never get to A.

She took control of her courtroom and made sure that the defense understood that she was running things - her way. Also, when the defense took some liberties, she reminded them that again it was her courtroom, and she was the Judge.

She also asked, how the unitholders would fair with the first CSA (not too well).

My opinion - This does not bode well for the defense - and they did it to themselves. They dug themselves a hole, I am content with poring some cement around their feet while they are in the hole. They made their bed, let them sleep in it. Serves them right.
