I must admit that I am watching and reading the news reports about the trial with an amused fascination. It was fun to see the sparring between Moncier and Scoobie. There has been some interesting new tidbits of information, such as the fact that Lumpy is the only commissioner that has failed to provide his cell phone records and that he now has to get his own attorney [1].

We can wonder if they are going to make him the scape goat but maybe he really was key in orchestrating the events leading up to Black Wednesday.

I found this amusing note from Gene Patterson's blog [2]:

At tonight’s Bearden-Farragut football game, Moore was on the field at halftime for a check presentation. When he was announced, rather than cheers, Moore was soundly booed by the crowd.

Perhaps this trial may finally convince Knox Co. residents of the need to change the faces of the commission.
