As always...well done Tony! Having spent the day there, 3 days now, I would like to describe something I think is key, that if you're not there...you would not know.
The Masterson's & gang have about 1/4 of the room, and that area has been filled with their family, friends & Scientologists.
The rest of the room is 3 long benches, and chairs in the back for media. The first is reserved. The only person I knew there has been Leah, although there are others there.
So yes, as Tony said, due to the space issue, various people like this "stand" lady may sit in on this side where we are. It's a public courtroom, as the Judge has pointed out.. She's the least of the concerns re this case, imnsho. As my Dad used to teach us: "Keep your eyes on the ball". As the Judge said today....when in the courtroom, have a poker face.😎
Lastly, Tony, thanks for the great laugh seeing you imitate Vicki. That was a riot! 🤗 🤣🌹
Question: How can Bijou have a relationship with her sister Chynna and be in good standing or no be a suppressive person or whatever they get deemed for talking to a thetan? You'd think Chyna knows this case is true and is happening to her sister. Wouldn't it be something if Bijou was like that's it I'm done and she comes and testified against her own husband? Wishful thinking....
I agree about the confrontation in the hallway. If that person had been ignored, the net effect would have been much better, the attack was the attention they wanted. This is not what the trial is about. It draws attention away from the issues at hand, which is the intention of those people.
Great summary of the day. Agreed, the STAND league has a puny influence and should be ignored. They only gain traction and power when others give them coverage, otherwise they are a nothing burger.
The ruckus in the hallway was reckless and then sucked up the judges time to question the jury about what they heard. To think this could have caused a mistrial is troubling, to say the least.
Jane Doe 1 and Mueller are doing a superior job compared to the last trial, mostly because of her testimony but also largely because they are allowed to reveal Scientology’s role in the whole thing. Particularly her saying that she felt couldn’t report to authorities because of the potential consequences for her family, getting declared/disconnection. Finally the jury is able to hear why this is being reported after so many years have passed. That ethics officer at the AO Julian Swartz is a criminal cover-up expert, and him telling her why she could and could t say in her own report! He ought to be sued as part of this. Tony thanks for your excellent reporting.
Your work is amazing...the testimony was heartbreaking
past-life "therapy" - not so much

Good luck to the Jane Does as they continue to actually stand up to the criminal organisation known as the "church" of $cientology.

Love the end of day wrap ups -- although I read all the reports throughout the day. Thanks for all you do, Tony!
