We're all here waiting for the start of the hearing at 1 p.m. Let's see what the latest is in yet another preliminary hearing for David Lee Hamblin. He's coming up on two years of of this case in September, and that's another interesting feature of prosecutorial strategy in Utah with regards to ritual abuse. They file a criminal information, then spend years wrangling over discovery, and then it's anyone's guess as to whether or not the case ever makes it to trial.
Here's a novel idea: if you aren't ready to bring the case to trial, don't file the information or go for the indictment. It's just a thought. Of course, if you are ready but you just want to look like you're doing something when you really have no intention of doing anything, carry on with this strategy.
The gang is all here: Brandy Zadrozny of NBC News, "Gordon" possibly Bowen, Roselle Stevenson's attorney Cara Tangaro, Summer Simkins UCSO Victims Advocate, Sanpete County Victims Advocate, etc.
Judge Larsen is now stating that screengrabs are not permitted, and transmitting the proceedings is against the law. Chat is only for attorneys. If you're going to interrupt you will be removed from the virtual courtroom or the physical courtroom.

It's now six minutes past the hour and nothing. All the players are here, but nothing.

Yet again, we're looking at a full house, but no action as yet seventeen minutes after 1 o'clock. Amazing.
Here's the audio at last!
