I'm back in Solano County court this morning. The defense, again, asks a jury trial be postponed due to #coronavirus concerns. As to @GavinNewsom's statewide shelter order, Judge Bowers responds, "What does that have to do with us?" outside the presence of the jury. Judge Bowers denies the defense motion, saying public defender Nick Filloy's argument over public safety are hyperbolic. When confronted about smirking from the bench, Bowers says, "You say such outrageous things, it's hard not to." Asst. DA Moore wants trial to continue.

I'm in Solano County court, where a judge has denied a defense motion to continue a jury trial, which the public defender in the case believes is the only one continuing in the Bay Area amid #coronavirus concerns. Two of 15 jurors were dismissed because they were "too scared to leave their homes" as the county is now sheltering in place. The DA's office is objecting to any continuances.
