[Peace] Update: Urgent: Patrick Thompson notetakers still needed

[Randall Cotton]

Thanks to Mark Enslin for volunteering to take notes this afternoon at
Patrick Thompson's trial. Thanks also to Barbara Kessel for volunteering
for a second shift this week (despite trouble with her hands). There is
only one more slot left to cover - Friday afternoon. It's not clear the
trial will last that long, but if it does, those proceedings at the end
may be very important (closing arguments, for instance, or perhaps the
jury's verdict). Is there anyone out there that can perhaps leave work
early to cover 1:30PM to 4:30PM tomorrow? Again, you can choose to create
your own report or provide legible notes for someone else to make a
report. I'm happy to coordinate as necessary. If you volunteer and the
trial ends before Friday afternoon, I'll make sure you are informed of
that so you don't waste a trip.

Please respond to me directly.

Thanks
R

: Many thanks to Karen Medina who volunteered as notetaker to cover this
: afternoon's proceedings. The trial is in full swing now, but we are
still
: short notetakers for the end of the week. Although the trial may not
last
: the full week, it's anticipated it will still be in progress tomorrow
: afternoon, though no one has come forward to take notes for that
timeslot.
: The court sessions have proven to be 9AM-noon and 1:30PM-4:30PM so far
as
: predicted. Even if you can only cover, say, half of one of the following
3
: hour timeslots, that will still be helpful:
:
: tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon (roughly 1:30PM - 4:30PM)
: Friday morning (roughly 9AM - noon)
: Friday afternoon (roughly 1:30PM - 4:30PM)
:
: Also, if you can cover Thursday morning, (9AM - noon) that will allow
that
: person to cover Friday morning instead.
:
: You can choose to create your own report or turn over legible notes so
: that someone else can, in turn, provide a report to the community.

: Please reply to me directly.
