[@robertmarokane7416]

In court you don't do predetermination. The judge must be formally informed. Remember it's for the first time all the accused appear together in one court.

[@geanieltarin814]

I felt that he relied too much on Miss Bester. I di believe that prisoner Bester must have foods specific to Diabetics and that if he ruled as such, there would be no need for the attorney to have meetings with whomever provides the meals! It is also the right of the prisoner to wear his choice of clothing while in custody because the correction service will treat him unfairly. Instead, the Judge simply is asking thr attorney to run to different offices and to take the legal representation calls to another office which he himself said, is hehe clients right for trial
