Just got in from hearing. Quick update, will write more later.
- Green said she will sequester the jury
- Holloman said he is going to bring in a Mercedes engineer to inspect vehicle to see if it contained two modules (ECM & STM) and if so, get the data recorded on said modules.
- Beasely indicated there were other BAC tests. Green chastized him for not producing them.
- Green ruled she will wait until when the trial starts to hear motions to suppress evidence.
- Green requested a larger courtroom as she anticipates a jury pool of 350.
- Beasely said only additional discovery was additional medical records for Karen Irby.
- The divorce action filed against Karen Irby by Stuart Irby 18 months ago was dismissed in November. Mrs. Irby was never served with the lawsuit. MRCP gives the Court the right to dismiss a civil action if defendant not served within 120 days. Judge Wise dismissed the petition for divorce on November 10, 2009, citing a lack of action on the case.

when is the trial date?
Trial will begin on March 29, 2010.
Its been set at March 29 since last summer.
The BAC tests taken at the scene will not be admissable due to the fact that the JPD, being the brilliant people that they are, used improper procedure/ equipment when taking her blood.
Exactly what procedure and equipment did they use at the scene? Anything that was done at the scene would be inadmissable I would think, other than a field sobriety test which, obviously, I would presume, she could not perform. Unless there was a certified flebotomist or the like "at the scene".
I'm pretty sure no one "at the scene" wasted time taking blood when faced with two people in critical condition and two dead. Stabilization, then transport is the order of the day in big cities.

That was my point. How could they, JPD, mess up BAC at the scene?
On purpose would be one way. All those campaign donations, political pull, and whatnot.
