Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

You realize, don't you, that Homer described Odysseus as dark skinned.

In Book 16, Athena restores the disguised Odysseus to his natural state, including his skin color. The poem uses the word μελαγχροιὴς (melanchroiís) which means dark. But many (white) translators avoid acknowledging Odysseus as dark skinned in a variety of ways.

I would bet money on Judge Rao as the leaker.

one of the many weird things here is that the government is saying (admitting?) that the foreperson's statement to the magistrate was not correct. the magistrate ordered the handwritten alteration of the no bill on the foreperson's word that the grand jury voted on the second indictment.

The magistrate gave this instruction after being told the grand jury had voted on the second indictment. Yesterday the government stated on the record that vote never happened. Also not 100% clear that the no bill doc is what the magistrate ordered to be annotated. Likely but inconsistencies.

Why do you say it is unquestionable that the grand jury approved two counts? Doesn't that depend upon the circumstances surrounding the handwritten annotation on the no bill such as when, by whom, etc? And aren't those circumstances presently unclear as far as the public reporting goes?

So is it conceivable that there will be an evidentiary hearing where the foreperson has to explain the handwriting on the no bill and what else happened?

How does a judge determine whether "that" is true? recall grand jurisdiction for testimony? can't imagine that. It's unclear from public reporting who annotated the no bill and when. Are uou are assuming the foreperson did it contemporaneously before any interaction with prosecutorial staff? Why?

In Halligan’s defense, this type of unethical behavior could be common among lawyers who defend insurance companies.
