RailGate Returns: Will It Be Groundhog Day All Over Again...

....For Martyn Brown?

Or will Day 4 of the trial finally go down today?

And if it does, will Kevin McCullough do all the defense team's softening-up work in full-blown pit-bull mode?

And if he does will Michael Bolton bring in the heavy artillery/documentary evidence at the back end?

Or will it be a theme-based mix and match for McCullough and Bolton?

Regardless, by now I'm pretty sure that most of the jury has likely forgotten why it was, exactly, that Special Prosecutor Berar(n)dino called Premier Gordon Campbell's Chief-Of-Bowstaffs to the stand in the first place.

Busy day for me.....So, I'll have to forgo the not-quite real-time blow-by-blow stuff for today.....The best place for that kind of information is always Mary's....I'll be back with a round-up later.

Oh, and in case you're interested, an old, but still excellent, backgrounder on Mr. Brown by Jody Paterson can be found archived here...... I found the following passage from that 2001 piece to be particularly illuminating: " ....Brown was known as an exceptional "policy wonk'' and researcher in his early days in government. Jess Ketchum, a political staffer from that era, takes "some of the blame'' for introducing him to the political side of things in the 1990 election, when the Socreds were heading into the fight of their lives against the New Democrats"...... Hmmmmmm.....Jess Ketchum?.....Where, exactly, have we come across that name recently?....Oh, ya....Here it is.....Bingo.
