[This report was produced live during a court hearing with a lot going on. There will be typos. Please don't email us about typos that you find.] After lunch We have a feeling this will be a pretty short session. Judge Olmedo seemed to indicate that she would give her ruling on Jane Doe 4, and then they would come back tomorrow morning at 10 am to deal with some admonitions regarding Lisa Marie Presley and Jane Doe 1's mother.
Cohen seems to say, "If I knew you would be allowed to convincingly show there was no collusion, I would have never tried to show there was. Now that the jury will know I was arguing something invalid and non-factual, no fairsies." That's chutzpa!
He's obsessed with the peeing!! When I first saw that my immediate reaction was with Olmedo, it's bill to assume she needed to pee because she'd been drinking. Any mothers on the jury (hell anyone who knows what kegels are lol) will know that having a kid messes with your pelvic floor/bladder control and there's been testimony about a daughter... I think Cohen is missing the point if he thinks he's going to get anything out of that line of questioning.
Never heard a court so concerned about Thanksgiving week. If they didn't take so many days off it wouldn't be a problem. I always worked that week and usually got a half day on Wednesday.

Praise lawyers and judges and journalists who can understand all these fine points.
Eternal gratitude for this excellent blow by blow legalese covering.
"If you're going to bring JD4, I should get to talk about the pee."
I'm going to read all 3 reports again just out of sheer delight.

Phew, how many times has Cohen asked for a mistrial now? He really needs a new bag of tricks.

This judge is very fair.
