Ya, I'll have to see about a few things to check

There's a few things here on a couple a trials that make it worth the price of admission.

Ok so Sosnay is Branch 8. That IS on the list of streamable court rooms. There is nothing on it right now, but it could just be that nothing was scheduled. I think it's in the interest of Da sub that brothermen check in on this website ( https://www.wicourts.gov/courts/livestream.htm ) every morning and select branch 8 to see if it is streaming and what kind of hearings are being streamed

The Court Rules seem to suggest yes, he just needs to ask permission three days before.

There is a line about only news media being allowed to record, but the rules were written in 1970, and I suspect a more modern interpretation would include Dan's podcast.

Dan, if you're listening, take the receipts for Pat's arrest, his high school diploma, some violent tweets etc. with you. If the judge asks you why you want to record, tell him Pat's a popular sci-fi writer with 55k Twitter followers and so there's interest in things like his arrest for threatening his wife and child.... With a bit of luck Pat will interrupt and correcT the record at that point, and if can you prove that he's a liar to the judge before the hearing even starts it'll hurt Pat's case.

The first amendment says everyone is media and no Wisconsin state law or Milwaukee city ordinance can trump the Constitution.

first amendment doesnt decide who's allowed to do what in court

Sure, the judge does but I'm saying if they allow media then they allow media and everyone is media.

I have a feeling that if that does get streamed Pat will get the court to shut that shit off

I think Dan could cover this event live. Pat's a famous author per his own words. It'd be like Stephen King going to court for contempt - no doubt there would be journalists watching the trial.

Not just a sci-fi author, either - he's a "pundit with bylines in The Hill, US News, and the NYT", and who was influential in Argentina passing their abortion bill.

He's definitely a public figure, and that makes it newsworthy.

That’s right, Dan is an independent / freelance reporter, I knew camera ops that used to ride around at night and get footage for local news outlets for accidents etc. like that movie Nightcrawler.

I have a feeling Pat really can't make decisions when he is the one in deep shit.

I love how rick actually believes this

Or you can contact the clerk and get confirmation rather than leaving it to chance. And then Tony Aria if you want to know how to bring your own camera in.

He also claims to be the most famous person from his hometown of Portage, Wisconsin that was recently featured on NBC nightly news, Inside Edition, and two foreign news broadcasts.

Exactly, he’s there for contempt of court so they won’t be letting him make demands.

I dunno, I think they could possibly get him leeway? AFAIK courts aren't usually happy to accomodate media & shiet

Oh for sure, my idea was to do that in the short term until Dumb Eyed Dan does what he does

Even just requesting it be streamed might do the trick.

And fuck Tony Aria; there's no way an employee for a news organisation can be the gatekeeper for media access to the courts. What if a rival channel is chasing up a lead; are they supposed to tip him off? Go through the clerk.

I'll email, is there a specific clerk or email address?

So Aria’s channel ends up covering it? Huge win

It’s alternate universe @captain_kamala if she never started smoking weed. I might have made that joke before, I drink a lot.
