That would be correct.

I find it preposterous that this whole debacle has reached this point. I would have thought by now that an out-of-court settlement would have been reached; no one in their right mind is going to dispute damning audio evidence.

Obviously, the prosecution is going to attempt to have that thrown out.

Would that be former state Rep. Bryan Lentz, who recently accepted a position with the "Gun Violence Task Force"?

Philly D.A. adds to gun-violence task force
February 18, 2011 | By Joelle Farrell, Inquirer Staff Writer

Bryan Lentz, the former Delaware County legislator who ran for Congress last year in the suburbs, is going to work in the city - for District Attorney Seth Williams.

Lentz, 46, of Swarthmore, will become chief supervising special assistant district attorney for the Gun Violence Task Force, a joint effort of Williams' office and the state Attorney General's Office.

The task force, created by the legislature in 2006, investigates gun violence, trafficking, and "straw" purchases in the Philadelphia region, said Brian Grady, the deputy district attorney who heads the unit.

unfortunately I wasn't able to make it due to having to do some stuff at work, but I should be good to sit in on the trial as it's my normal day off from work.

I'm coming down to get my hands on a copy of the affidavit of probable cause.

Any luck with that?

You could say that the people there were unhelpful, so no.

I'm going to see about getting a copy prior to the trial.

Mark should have one by now. I dont know if he is sharing!

[whoshisface]

Any updates?

Basically this was procedural stuff. Nothing to note from the actual hearing, other than the trial date. It was a long day sitting around...

If the ADA was male, it probably was.

If the ADA was female, there is a Deborah Lentz who works as an ADA in Philly (http://pview.findlaw.com/view/2094217_1?channel=lp)

(Downtown Pittsburgh) traffic is a killer, no damn parking and it's just crazy. Crazy enough with normal vehicle/pedestrian traffic and parking during a weekday, then toss in a FREE NRA convention (Free for NRA members) and you have a jam packed down town area. This city isn't set up well for normal traffic, let alone out of towners not knowing the area and traffic patterns and a large volume of people etc. . .

Having driven much in both downtown Pittsburgh and downtown/midtown Manhattan, I'd much rather drive in Manhattan.
