Nguyen v. Nguyen Day 4: Recess Is Over

We're back from the lunch recess and Janet Nguyen attorney at the dias delivering his closing argument. Phil said there are two "uncontroverted facts" evident in this trial: 1) That Janet Nguyen received the most votes of any candidate and 2) that all the votes were, and then recounted in an appropriate and proper manner.

Phil is now doing his rebuttal of Mike Schroeder's arguments.

2:07 p.m.: Phil finished a little while ago, and he's been followed by Mark I-Forgot-His-Last-Name from the County Counsel's office (apologies to Mark, but I'm barely operating in Safe Mode). He's been going on for a while now, spending most of his time explaining why the ROV didn't have to use thee VVPAT and maintaining the recount was indeed valid and complete.

2:14 p.m.: Mike Schroeder is now up to rebut the rebuttals.

2:34 p.m.: Mike's still going.

2:38 p.m.: Judge Brenner just recessed for 10 minutes, and then he'll come back with his ruling.

Here's some shots while we're waiting for the judge to return:
