I'm already in Charlottesville and checked into a shitty motel. Gonna go to the trial tomorrow but in the meantime, I think I'll go on a Chris' Places of interest tour. Might even eat at his favorite McDonalds.

I think it's been established in early threads that recording the trial in audio/video is not allowed, but he could take notes.Wait, are you gonna try to record the trial?
Recording is allowed in Virginia state courtrooms at the sole discretion of the presiding judge. It is, however, flatly prohibited in certain types of sensitive cases (e.g., those involving juveniles or sexual offenses; however, a juvenile who is tried as an adult is excluded from the prohibition on recording. See Novak v. Commonwealth, 20 Va. App. 373, 390-91 (1995)). Only two television cameras and one still photographer are allowed in a courtroom at any given time. For a complete list of the statutory guidelines, see Va. Code 19.2-266.
Federal courts in Virginia, at both the trial and appellate level, prohibit recording devices and cameras in the courtroom.
Policies concerning electronic devices in courtrooms vary from court to court. For example, in the Virginia Supreme Court, electronic devices of any kind are prohibited. In one circuit court—Loudoun Circuit Court—only cell phones with cameras are prohibited. In one district court— Campbell General District Court—individuals may not bring cell phones inside courthouse buildings; Campbell General District Court makes an exception for counsel, law enforcement, social workers, court service representatives, probation officers, and mediators.
Record everything, post it here later and remember: DON'T CALL ANYBODY.
EDIT:
Damn, that's dedication. Hope you know shorthand, dude.I think it's been established in early threads that recording the trial in audio/video is not allowed, but he could take notes.
Yes, unlawfully recording a trial, which is pretty much ANY trial, can get a person in some serious shit. That's why even on news reports all they have are courtroom drawings and stenography.I think it's been established in early threads that recording the trial in audio/video is not allowed, but he could take notes.
