You're not going to get away that easily

I wrote that the marriage trial in Calif. will be reenacted for video. At least the trailer is available now. Day-to-day videos of the reenactment will be ready soon. The daily transcripts are also available (if you want the gritty details), which should make the reenactments more accurate.

I had previously commented that witnesses for the anti-gay side were dropping out. When witnesses first agreed to take part they made deposition tapes, describing how they would testify in the trial. The pro-gay side showed a couple of those anti-gay tapes and the testimony was much more favorable to gays than it was against. No wonder they dropped out. So it wasn't threat of harassment by voters. Up today (and in tonight's report) is one of the defendants who had dropped out of the case. It seems he won't be able to get clean away. The pro-gay side will use him to demonstrate the deep-seated animosity that gays face.
