ARRIVAL

I arrived at the courthouse at around 7:15 this morning, fully expecting a mob of crazed Potter fans and media representatives. To my surprise, I was the first person there. As media made their way up to the courtroom, a security official came out to announce that no one would be let in prior to 9:00. They proceeded downstairs to the

Friending you, and thank you for doing this. Not that it surprises me at all, but by all accounts of this trial JKR is every bit as intelligent and well-spoken as I've always heard her to be. More than a match for any lawyer.

Thanks

Your respect for JK shines through. Thank you for posting. Adding you as friend in order to continue to read. Thanks.

quite tasteless of this obvious *fangirl* to include in this poor attempt of a summary.

I disagree. The description adds to the picture. Considering the fact that this girl is SVA'a "muse" and has led him by the nose through this whole disaster, hearing about the tasteless way she dressed seems to fit perfectly.

I disagree. He's responsible for his own actions--and considering he managed to get indemnified by RDR, I'd say he was less "led by the nose" and more "wilfully creating the situation."

Joining the ranks - I don't "friend" lightly, but you've done such a wonderful job of reporting the details that I'd really like to keep track of this event.

Thank you.

Actually, I think that it is a nice juxtaposition. Earlier news reports DID comment on JKR's tasteful suit and skirt. Here we have a bit of contrast. And, um, the fangirl in the article accompanied a witness to the trial. She's not exactly in hiding. Was she escorted out like SVA during JK's testimony, or did she get to take notes for him?

For someone who just got finished yelling at the OP for being biased, you sure are an idiot. Where's your proof that JKR wanted Steve out she she would be free to lie?

*waits*

*still waiting*

Guess it'll be a while!
