Rohr Trial Update

From the Star Telegram (with my comments between the "[ ]" thingees.) DENTON — A judge adjourned Dr. Elizabeth Rohr’s trial for about three hours Wednesday as the Roanoke physician waited for witnesses to arrive and testify on her behalf. [Wouldn't happen in Wise County]. When Rohr admitted to state District Judge L. Dee Shipman that many of them were being served with subpoenas for the first time Wednesday, Shipman allowed Rohr only three hours to gather witnesses. [Probably out of compassionate conservatism.] “There’s no reason they’re being served today — this was a 2004 case,” Shipman said. [That's a dumb observation. You only know when to subpoena witnesses once you know the trial date. When the case was filed is irrelevant.] Rohr said Wednesday morning that she was still deciding whether to testify on her own behalf. [Please, please, for the love of entertainment, please do!]
