Bada being baddaboo.

Sometimes there's a lot that happens when the jurors are not in the courtroom.

Like the fact that there is a fight to decide whether or not Cassie can have her husband in the courtroom being her emotional support.

The defense attorney Anna Esteveo says,

we understand Ms. Ventura's husband, Alex Fine, may be present in the courtroom, and we

expect him to be a potential defense witness. So we would ask that he be excluded, which makes

sense if he's also going to be on the witness stand. He should not be listening to another witness

who also happens to be his wife and the mother of his soon to be three children,

that makes sense. However, prosecutor Emily Johnson states more or less, no, that doesn't make

sense at all. We were advised of this approximately 10 minutes ago. He's not included on the defense

witness list. Ms. Ventura's husband is here with his family to support

his wife and testify publicly. We had under the CVRA, she has the right to be treated with dignity

and privacy and she would like support in this courtroom as she testifies. To which lead defense

attorney, Tenny Garagos even states, if I could just elaborate. What we have given

the government is the witness list for our case in chief. The reasons are important because at this

time, we can't really tell your honor who we know we would call. At this time, we can't say who

definitely would call and we certainly, the judge asks wait why wasn't this raised before this

morning when he's here with his entire family inside this courthouse wait so he's

already in the courthouse and they're debating yes to kick him out yes he's in the

courthouse waiting to come into the courtroom when Cassie comes in to testify

Cassie's brother is here, so is her cousin. Your

Honor, I apologize. I brought this up to Ms. Comey, but not Ms. Johnson yesterday. This is my fault.
