Judge and lawyers still targeting Fourth of July for end of trial
Today will mark the 10th day of testimony, and lawyers and the judge are cautiously optimistic about meeting their goal of turning this case over to jurors by the Fourth of July.
“As long as defense stays to a week, I think that’s (July 4) fair,” lead prosecutor Maurene Comey told the judge just before adjournment last week.
The case got off to a slow start with the extended questioning of the defendant’s former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, but the pace has been picking up.
