**possible correction**--I read on the Topix board later today that someone said the Press-Banner was innacurate in reporting that plainclothes officers were observing McClish today, that they were actually attorneys-in training....
What's the right side of this, I wonder? I don't know yet...
The editor of the Press-Banner included a current article on the Topix board (click on the link and go to the second post by "From the Press-Banner"):
I found one statement to be rather odd:
"When McClish took the stand Thursday, the courtroom was packed with more than 60 spectators. Among them were about a dozen plainclothes sheriff’s deputies, each conspicuous by his suit, tie and notepad."
Why are a DOZEN plainclothes law enforcement officers observing McClish making statements (this was his cross-examination) IN PERSON? One or two might be understandable, but a dozen? There has to be a reason they are in the courtroom, in person. If they wanted to be covert about gathering information on him, they could study the court transcript, or an audio or video of his testimony, if they exist.
For what reason are there this many officers in the courtroom observing McClish?
Interesting....
