I'll do my best to cover this hearing on this site, but if anyone here wants to take a stab at it please do. There will be live streaming video on the web but I can't watch it due to my disability. The link is the same one I included above. I think someone I know will actually be there and if so, I'll get all the dirt from her if I can.
