It was not long after 5 am and my body is like “get up we got a ton of stuff to do” and I’m thinking “no it’s cool, the trial is over we can sleep in”, and my body is “yeah yeah whatever man, IDK what you are talking about, get up let’s go!”.

This was January 22 — the day before the first day — as I was writing my opening. I had an idea of the journey this trial would be —- but actually I didn’t.

I speak for everyone except Avery & all the other media present in Walterboro when I say, “Please, don’t let this trial end.”

Somebody get Vince McMahon on the phone. We need Waters-Harpootlian at Wrestlemania.
State Superintendent Ellen Weaver visited Greenwood County today. Meeting with the Western Piedmont Education Consortium this morning, Weaver spoke to superintendents and shared her vision. She finished her visit with a stop to Mathews Elementary, where she read to students.

Mark Tinsley went to Clemson. Tough to hear. Will take a moment to process that.

"He made a financial payment to a witness in the middle of a trial" ... "as a reward for her honesty."
"That'll be good fodder for cross-examination," Newman says, refusing to strike Tinsley's testimony.
So now we get Barber vs. Tinsley 2.0 with a little more juice.

There is a wedding going on in the media overflow room. Imagine the bride and groom booked the venue - the local wildlife center - before this trial was scheduled. Feel for them. So we are bunched up in the front of the wildlife center with all the exhibits

Same thing happened in my 5 year old's game over the weekend. Unreal.
