An update - it was confirmed that a court observer was deliberately misdirected that the Mokay trial is not going to happen while it proceeded

I wrote on this blog that a court observer who wanted to observe the Mokay trial was informed by a court officer that the jury is dismissed and the attorneys went home, thus misrepresenting to the court observer that the trial was not ongoing.

There is an update - the would-be court observer confronted the court officer about the misrepresentation and the court officer reluctantly admitted to her that the officer knew the trial was ongoing when the representation was made to the court observer implying that there is no trial.

I am sure the officer will be intimidated by his administration not to make any sworn statements about that, for fear of losing employment.

Yet, if the trial was all legitimate, why should the court instruct the court employees to make false statements to members of the public who wanted to observe the trial?
