As you obviously know by now, the Trial is set to commence on July 17. There will be 120 prospective jurors from which to choose!! It will probably take 2 days. Accordingly, the trial should start on the 19th of July. The Judge informed us that friends and family would be unable to sit in the courtroom, as the prospective jurors would take up the entire seating area. A suggestion was made to have the audio transferred to another court room where the family and friends could be seated. The Judge stated he would "look into it." He will be ruling on the Motions before him yesterday, byMonday at the latest! Rick, Ry and Rem have all been transferred to DACPF (Las Cruces!). They are all together in the same Pod!! Thank you for your support and concern . It is truly appreciated!7/17:

Hello everyone : Sorry about the delay in this message ! Friday was a very interesting day ; we got to listen to the confidential informant ( Ramon ) the drug smuggler human trafficker money launderer ; cheater, explosive smuggler . It was very interesting how you could see that this guy was being coached by the officer that brought these charges against the family ! to also listen to the tapes you could barely understand what was said ! the undercover officer ( straw purchaser )who seemed to be nowhere near Ramon, the special officer and who was the person who actually filled out all the legal forms (4473 ) and was approved by the FBI for the sale ! he was the only one shown in the video ! from what was said and shown all that was going on was good salesmanship and a very knowledgeable person doing his job to explain their product line !! Today the defense gets to cross examine.This morning:
Hi everyone !WOW what a day in court !The defense got to cross examine Roman the prosecution"s key witness time And again his testimony was anything but the truth ! Tomorrow the rest of the defense team will do their cross . Will update tomorrows events.Also see: A Fixed Fight
Maybe the fight isn't as fixed as we thought.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's still just as fixed a fight as ever. It's just that some things are so outrageous that they can't be hushed up or hidden with lies. The government/prosecution still has near-unlimited resources and still shut down the victim's family business and/or stolen their resources.
