In the Bodhi Tree case, the finalized copy of the jury questionnaire and complete witness list was provided to Judge Dale Reinholtsen yesterday in Courtroom 4 yesterday. Case is being prosecuted by Elan Firpo. Defendant is being co-represented by Public Defenders Casey Russo and Heidi Holmquist.
Although all witnesses may not testify; the list of potential and witnesses that will definitely testify are 60.
There will be 2 jury pools today and tomorrow that may end up as Tree jurors.
All the Judges, attorneys, prosecutors and defense attorneys and public defenders and baliffs work very hard every day and covering the court regularly, I see days when the court calendar is packed and it would be easy to get stressed. I am not singling DDA Zach Curtis and Ms. Holmquist and Baliff Conklin out but yesterday, all 3 were great examples of professionalism and staying calm and smiling while doing their job on a packed day. I do have my favorites because day in and day out, I see certain people in the above category give more than 100% and retain their humanity in an environment where it is easy to be jaded.
Lance Borgner waived his right to a preliminary hearing. Yesterday he was arraigned on information for and court dates were set. I will have those dates updated later. With his case being called at the same time as the Tree case, I could not be present in 2 courtrooms at the same time.
