“‘We’re just going to try to find another angle – we’re just going to find some witnesses who aren’t cowards, like this student is, hiding behind the shield law,’ said Lt. Mike Stasko of the police homicide detail.”

I think that’s going to be nominee for douchebag quote of the year so far. (Easy for Stasko to say, hiding behind his badge, gun, body armor, and 24/7 radio-dispatched backup.)

if you’re really 10-8 why the hell are you posting here? Your nickname is retarded, and if you are law enforcement, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Fortunately, they are on my side in this case because they all happen to be photographers.

But the trial ran for two days and the price is normally five bucks a page, six bucks a page for a rush job, so even if they do give me a slight discount, is still very expensive.

So… essentially they just tape the whole trial, and only transcribe it if someone appeals… and make the appellant foot the bill?

I’ve been meaning to update that. The judges reviewed my appeal on June 10th and decided that the record was incomplete, meaning that I did not provide the entire transcript.

All I did was provide the portions that pertained to my argument, which I argued in my appeal that it should be acceptable.

So now I have 30 days to get the entire trial transcribed, which I will do but it’s going to cost around $3,000.

I was hoping to avoid this but in reality, it will just make my case that much stronger.

Here are all the arguments in case you haven’t seen them.
