Hi Doc

I can hardly wait to hear the decision they make.  It is under advisement
now.  It was a great experience.  I was really glad I had my students go,
and most of them appeared to really be impressed and excited about hearing a
real case.  I think when we meet again there will be lots of discussion.  It
was a sociologist's dream though above and beyond the cj aspect of it.  The
communication styles of the women justices compared to the men justices was
great to watch, especially as they didn't know they were being watched.
Alan Paige, a pro football player that really did something after retiring
from the Vikings, is one of the justices.  The questioning was interesting.
I think they will uphold the lower courts on this one.  I sort of chuckled
when one justice asked the lawyer for the state, if there was a way that the
police were able to turn a switch on and off to determine when the victim
was being asked questions as a potential victim/witness and a suspect.  This
was a real bonus for the students and for me.
