hahaha too bad the deputies won't let them near each other. in fact, a wise clerk or judge would change the docket schedule. unless they WANT to see a possible interaction.

LENOIR, N.C. -- Both Adam and Elisa Baker, father and stepmother to Zahra Baker, are scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, and there’s a chance they will be in the Lenoir courtroom at the same time.
It’s been more than five weeks since the Bakers have seen one another. Elisa Baker has been in jail since the day after Zahra was reported missing, accused of writing a fake ransom note for another child.
Adam Baker was arrested on Oct. 25 on charges unrelated to the investigation into Zahra’s disappearance and death. He later bonded out of jail.
They are both scheduled to appear in court on charges unrelated to the investigation. There will be extra security at the courthouse, Channel 9 has learned.
Maxine Pearson, who built a memorial near the Caldwell County site where the remains that are believed to be Zahra’s were found, said she thinks the extra security will be needed because of the emotions surrounding Zahra’s case.
“A lot of people are furious,” she said. “I've read a lot of comments on the news and Internet from people saying they can't wait to see her out.” AN OLD-FASHIONED LYNCHING MAYBE?
Many area residents said they were curious as to how the Bakers would react if they saw each other.
“I wish I could be in there to see their reaction toward each other, because nobody really knows the story. Not yet, anyway,” Tonya Brown said.
“Maybe emotions will come out. Maybe that's what needs to happen,” Steve Brown said.
