Look who I ran into today on the 16th floor of the CJC this morning! Court reporter Gailann Wright Rolen – who is currently assigned to Judge Kelli Johnson in the 178th. She was suppose to substitute as a court reporter for Judge Leslie Yates on the 16th floor, but those plans may be shelved if she gets selected for as a juror. Meanwhile, Judge Yates was having trouble getting a jury panel AND the prosecutor – Jay Gordon – although ready for trial – just completed a grueling trial Friday afternoon that resulted in a guilty verdict (see above). He could use the day off! Stay tuned!
