Trial Day Whatever.....

I haven’t written about the trial for the last few days because it has become so mind numbing. Doctors and nurses one after another being asked the same types of questions. Going over the same incidents over and over. I have to hand it to the jury. We haven’t lost anyone else. They are here every day on time with no complaints to the long days and short lunches (considering they only get $10 a day plus mileage).

The only interesting thing that happened today is that the injured woman’s husband was detained by law enforcement because he made what sounded like threatening statements against the doctors and suicidal statements. They did a background check on him and are at this moment trying to decide if they will allow him to return to the Courtroom.

I checked his records when all the information about his multiple divorce filings came out in trial. Besides auto violations he had a harassment charge plead down to a misdemeanor. He was charged with threatening someone at some point at the hospital following his wife’s complications that resulted in this trial.

I just got the word from the Judge. The husband was escorted home for today and for the rest of the trial we will have a deputy in the Courtroom. When the jury leaves tonight the deputy will come in and talk to all of us about securely exiting the Courtroom should the need arise.

Yikes!
