Wendi Adelson it’s expected to take the stand today in her mother‘s trial. #donnaadelsontrial #donnaadelson #danmarkel
Proffer outside the presence of the jury this morning. They’re discussing the “Grandma motion”. Dan Markel had filed a motion wanting to limit Donna’s access to the children because after a visit with her, they had come home and told him “grandma says she hates you.” #donnaadelson

Attorneys are back at it this morning going over more redactions in Lil Woody's police interviews. They will only be in session for a couple of hours today. Judge is deciding if the jury and Woody should come in Monday. Still a lot of police interviews to go through and jailhouse calls.

Thug looks to be a little cold this morning with his arms inside his sweater.
Here is the motion from Yak Gotti's attorney for an emergency stay of the #YSL #YoungThug trial. "This Petition relates to conduct of Chief Judge Glanville and not to any rulings or orders of the judge." drive.google.com/file/d/1ZI3Ts3…
"Glanville, as Chief Judge, has obstructed defense counsel's attempts to have a disinterested party review the numerous allegations contained in at least four affidavits which allege judicial misconduct and unfair proceedings. These affidavits, if true, would constitute serious violations of the Code of Judicial Ethics."
"Assuming this Court would not get the opportunity to review the decisions on the multiple Motions to Recuse unless or until the underlying case was concluded, Glanville continues to hide behind a purported standard that his actions would be reviewed in hindsight for abuse of discretion."

Today is day 5 (if you count Friday when he pled the 5th) of Kenneth "Lil Woody" Copeland on the stand for the State. So much has happened in those 5 days. So much outside of actual testimony. About his testimony,
the state has established that #YoungThug and Woody were close. This will lead them to his police interviews where he implicates Thug in Donovan "Nut" Thomas' murder.

Remember the 9am start? It's 9:30 and our photo still hasn't been let inside the courtroom.
