I feel like I am starting over but the case of STEVE FABRE VS. TOWN OF RUSTON has re piqued my interest. Steve Fabre dba POINT DEFIANCE CAFE AND CASINO.
Day two finished today at 3:30 pm day one at 4:15 pm.
DAY ONE May 17, 2010 Judge Frank Cuthbertson room 2A 9:00 am.
Cannot say enough about Judge Cuthbertson only outstanding. Has encyclopedic knowledge of case and questions were more direct to the point than either lawyer in my estimation.
Lawyer for plaintiff: Joan Mell for defendant Town of Ruston, David Britton.
Witnesses first day: Fred Wilson, WA state Gambling Commission, former council person Karen Pickett, former police chief Jim Reinhold, former mayor Kim Wheeler in morning session.
Afternoon session, Sally Everding, former council person Dan Albertson, Council person Bradley Huson.
Major impact testimony Fred Wilson.
DAY TWO May 18, 2010 Judge Frank Cuthbertson room 2A 9:00 am.
Witnesses day two: Council person Jane Hunt and plaintiff, Steve Fabre, owner Point Defiance Cafe and Casino.
Long sessions wrapping up tomorrow, DAY THREE, May 19, 2010 at 10:30 am with closing arguments by both attorneys.
This is short as I already have 50 pages of notes and more to come.
Background: Judge on bench, bailiff and Court Reporter below.
Opposing attorneys at separate tables. Plaintiff Steve Fabre at table. No defendant at Ruston table??
In audience ME all by my lonesome. Interesting point first comment defendant attorney referring to me "Mr. Wingard does not live in Ruston!!!"
Place your bet. After two days looking like a win for Casino but Judge must weigh all testimony AND THE LAW. So stay tuned. Final decision may take two weeks.
Will start next post with testimony DAY ONE. Spread the word. You will hear it here first hand.
