Well, it has been over 9 very long years for our friend, Richard Wanke, who is finally going to trial. His jury selection ended this morning and last minute matters will be heard tomorrow morning. Then, his trial begins Monday with opening statements.
Opening statements from each side will summarize what each side plans to prove by their evidence. Then, from that point forward we get to judge how well they do.
We want to thank everyone who has supported Richard over the years and those who have also contributed and helped with this blog. We hope to see you at trial!
