From Henry Lee's live blog, we've just learned:

"Hora then turned to his desire to admit certain e-mails found on Reiser's hard drives. An e-mail that Judge Larry Goodman had previously barred from being introduced into evidence should now be entered with certain redactions, Hora said, and the judge agreed."

I believe this is the previously barred "threat e-mail" to which I've referred in earlier posts.  If i'm right, letting it in at this point - even in redacted form -  will be a very serious blow to the defense.

I'm posting this update at 5:10 PM just before I must attend two meetings and before  Henry Lee has finished recounting Paul Hora's argument.  To this point, Hora is doing very, very well, hitting all the right points, showing passion where appropriate and closing in.  If you haven't done so already, I recommend you follow Lee's live blog at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/localnews/category?blogid=37&cat=1428 . I'll make more specific comments and observations tomorrow.
