 Thursday....

Addendum at 6:30 PM Pacific.

The last witness of the day was the school principal.  Apparently some teachers were concerned that R…, the Reiser son, was too preoccupied with “violent images” and “robots” (sounds like those dreaded video games to me).  Hans apparently countered by saying that the boy was normal but that Mom was connected to the KGB, and was a good liar.

One wonders whether DuBois – who has darkly hinted at these shadowy Russian connections to the press – has anything more concrete to go on than his client’s version.  Sometimes the line between paranoia and real enemies can be thin indeed.  The KGB theory would be somewhat more persuasive if Hans had ended up in some dumpster.  Mess with the rogue remnants of the long disbanded KGB and they’ll frame you for killing your wife?  Naaa.

The courtroom is busy with other matters on Friday and Reiser’s trial resumes Monday.
