COURTHOUSE CAMPOUT: Almost 6:30AM and we have about a dozen people in line waiting to get in at 8, including myself. Jury deliberations continue at 9. @NateNewsNow brought the crew donuts! #LoriVallowTrial
About 25-30 people waiting in line now as the courthouse is set to open in 15 mins or so. Could we get a verdict today? #LoriVallowTrial
We are now inside the courthouse, in another line for courtroom 400. The defense walked out just 5-10 minutes ago. Just a waiting game now.
Judge Boyce’s YouTube channel now has nearly 4,000 subscribers and just streamed a test video minutes ago. This gives you an idea of the view the public will see whenever the verdict is read.
I’m told courtroom capacity is 134. But there will be a good chunk of family members and law enforcement in the gallery. Right now we have about 45-50 people in line and the jury is set to continue deliberations at 9.
Larry Woodcock just arrived and is playing a special song he and JJ Vallow would sing together.
“The Party’s Over” by Willie Nelson.
I found the video Kay Woodcock sent me in December of 2019. This is JJ and Larry on a bus. Pretty special moment between grandfather and grandson.
