From the latest report by Amanda Lang, in BNN's "Lunch Money" (12-12:30): One of Edward Genson's arguments in his pre-trial motion related to the fact that the defense couldn’t subpoena the settlement documents, but the prosecution offered to get them today. Gordon Paris, the first prosecution witness, was quoted in the press release announcing the settlement with the Sun-Times Media group. As a result of this, a juror might be dismissed, but his or her place will probably be filled with an alternate. Eric Sussman, the lead trial prosecutor, claimed ignorance of the settlement and the timing of it; and there's no suspicion otherwise. But, Ms. Lang asked, does SEC have a hidden agenda?
[BNN Update, On the 3 o'clock news report, Pat Bolland passed along a bit of frayed temper from Mrs. Black: she was heard to have called the jornalists covering the case "vermin," and one of them a "slut" - a female journalist. The Telegraph got her name, Melanie Glanz; according to The National's Havard Gould, she's actually a CBC producer.]
