Not much to report at the moment – other than one of the alternate jurors was ill today and consequently, there was no trial testimony.

Mark Vicente was scheduled to continue his direct testimony. He is now scheduled to appear tomorrow morning.

All jurors including the alternates are required to be in attendance for every moment in court where testimony is given.

There were some matters before the judge and Frank Report will detail these later this afternoon.

Stay tuned.

This isn't surprising, I would be sick from hearing the testimony, and it's just getting started.

I can only imagine they were ill from hearing about pervy Keith. It makes me sick to my stomach hearing it all second hand.
