RailGate Gallery Goin' Down....Who's Wearing The Pajamas Now?

There was a bunch more pre-trial legal wrangling before the judge yesterday.

You can get the bare bones of the thing, which apparently centered around the admissability of the testimony from the highly immunized Star Witness, in the public prints.

If you want it.

But if you want to read what really went down you'll have to rely on the Bloggodome.

More specifically, you'll have to rely on the the eyewitness reports of Robin Mathews, EM and North Van Grumps over at Mary's place.

Oh, and just so you know, North Van Grumps counted heads.

And the bloggers out-numbered the working press in the gallery (scroll down):

"....Of the 7 in the gallery: Neal Hall and Keith Fraser were there to represent the "Press", Robin Matthews, EM (and a friend) and myself (NVG) were there representing BC Mary. The seventh participant reminded me of Stuart Chase who was paid by the A G office to look in on the proceedings on behalf of the government, but in this case the official was none other than a fully armed, bullet proof vested RCMP which led me to the front desk on the way out of the BC Supreme Court building to ask the equally bullet proofed recectionist ....WHY. Why have an office on duty inside the public gallery area. The reply was "To give testimony." "Really"......"


Go figure.
