Petrilli v Silberman Day 7

If yesterday afternoon's testimony produced any news I missed it. Apparently Jim Warren did too. Aside from Jessamine County Superintendent Lu Young's chat, it was a long day rehashing previous evidence; new faces, same story.

But this morning Dale Golden will cross examine Alva Clark and that could be a different story. We've heard an attorney use the word bombshell recently and have been waiting patiently for something to go off. If that's not just bravado, and there is a bombshell out there, this would be a good day for it to go off.

John McNeill promises to start the day with a fight over those all-important jury instructions. It is not clear that KSN&C will be able to get a copy of those instructions; but an effort will be made. That debate begins at 8 AM.

This from Jim Warren at H-L:

Petrilli case will go to jury Tuesday, judge says
A civil case against Fayette County Public Schools brought by former Booker T. Washington Academy principal Peggy Petrilli's probably will go to the jury Tuesday.

Fayette Circuit Judge James Ishmael told jurors just before noon Monday that he expects the defense to complete its list of witnesses by the end of the day and that the case would be submitted to the jury Tuesday....

The only demon in this case is Stu Silberman himself.

And it is up to the jury to ask why, if Petrelli was not following board policy, it was not documented on her evaluation. The clouds are closing in on a superintendent whose entrance was heralded like the birth of the savior.
