Thanks. They did have a coffee machine that sounds like a dog crying. At least, it does that on Mondays according to one of the Clerks. I wonder if these court staff will miss all the strange quirks of their work place if the court gets moved to the CR466A area? I saw in a news article that they are thinking of moving the Bushnell government offices to up near Wildwood, probably near where the new Library is or somewhere around there.
The heating and cooling in the Court building also was very uneven. With some rooms being too hot, some too cold. That was what the small talk of the Court Clerks was about.
They did stop people from speculating about the case we might get because some of us could not have heard what was being said.
I do have a very strong faith in the Jury System. That's probably the best part of the US Judicial System. I just would like to see better informed jurors (using the Internet) BEFORE we ever get to the COURT Buildings.
Juries do screw up and better informed ones about the law might stop this. I am just thinking about the Cathy Woods

http://gypsyhillmurders.com/ I never went to any of these Court Hearings but would sometimes run into Wooster High School students who were obsessed with the Michelle Mitchell murder investigation, prosecutions, appeals, etc. I would look for materials accessible through libraries and would seldom if ever find anything of much practical value.
I did not see anything so far about yesterday's case but it will probably show up somewhere soon. Legal news does not seem to be a big priority in the Sumter/Lake/Marion County area.

If someone hears anything I would be interested. This was a Fifth Circuit Court case--
http://www.circuit5.org/c5/ The case was heard by the Honorable Michelle T. Morley, the Circuit Judge for Sumter County.
