Another day... another hearing - with apparently more to follow.
According to my sources, what happened during today's hearing is that Harlow Cuadra's attorney, Demetrius Fannick, attempted to tear apart the original trial lawyers' strategy, questioning whether they had adequate preparation and why they didn't, for example, try to argue that Cuadra had been under duress.
The attorneys responded that they were well prepared, duress is only a defense for those admitting to having committed an act (which Harlow did not), and that Cuadra was "not forthcoming" about even being at the scene until the trial.
Supplemental filings are due from the defense by January 20th and the DA 10 days after that. No decision was made today, and the judge did not schedule a date for the next hearing.
