DeAngelo back in court today but I'll be watching from home. I have a lot to say about what's going on but will wait and write it up this afternoon. We may hear a few arguments today. Last time we had this judge, the room was rather chaotic. /1 #GSK #EARONS

Here's what I'll be watching for:
1. The courtroom vibe. Will be hard for me to see everything via just video, but it interests me to watch the attorneys.
2. Will every jurisdiction be there. Ventura will be, I expect the others although one sometimes sends a surrogate. /2

3. How much more weight has DeAngelo lost. Paige St. John also watches this and she might have a BMI estimate for us after court.
4. Why does the defense need MORE time. We are closing in on two years. It is what it is and none of it is exculpatory (doesn't prove innocence). /3

5. Is DeAngelo still able to control himself to maintain his parade-rest. I predict that will be the inevitable tell when he's finally starting to be compromised (mentally). He's powerfully strong minded. It will be the last thing to go. /4

6. The behavior of his attorneys. Are they participating in the "frailty drama". If Howard touches him or does her momma-bear shit... (move on Jen before you lose it)
7. If we finally get a plea. It will be not guilty but we don't have one yet. That's insane. /5

8. Will any of the prosecutors pull a stunt (like Orange County DA did two hearings ago).
9. Will the prosecution maybe talk about the delays - they've been cordial and cooperative so far, but something has to shift. If they talk to the press...good sign they're done. /6

10. Do we get an agreement that at the next hearing we will set a preliminary trial (like grand jury) date.

What are you looking for? More from me post-hearing!
