We say this a lot here....Only in Liberia, or it ain't easy-o.
Court today was something you had to be there to really appreciate. Let me try to paint the picture for you.....imagine a large room made of cement, no breeze, all around you sound reverbeats off the walls, and the 50+ foot high ceilings. So all words are swallowed up in the echos. add to this any number of legal counsel, who may, or may not be on time!! and a few cell phones each, some jokes between attorneys, the judge, and staff, a non-electric typewriter for records, counsel jumping up and leaving while the judge speaks to go talk to someone. At some point all typing..recording ceases so the judge can talk to the courtroom. Just another typical day in court!
We go back on Wed.
