with the straub family and friends now. away from the courtroom waiting notification on either a verdict or sesquestration. about 15 of us here. everyone upset but the initial shock has worn off a bit. still very hopeful in the williams trial. straubs were at williams hearing last few minutes of closing when pettaway decision happened. didnt find out until after. they're heartbroken but optimistic. concerned that williams jurors may become aware before sesquestration. ill post as soon as i kno something but be aware the williams case is much stronger. not a slam dunk but much stronger. worried personally that if the jury hears about pettaway they will assume the cases are identical and ignore the evidence.
