ADF Update on Prop 8 Trial: Behind the Scenes Alliance Defense Fund 1-18-10
"The first week of trial started with opening arguments and testimony by the four plaintiffs. Since Tuesday, and for the next week, a parade of expert witnesses have and will give their testimony. The day can descend into abstract discussions of statistics or social science concepts. The day can also soar with passionate advocacy on constitutional law. Judge Walker occasionally asks a question of the witness or offers a quip to the attorneys about moving the case along at a faster clip. Those who oppose the California marriage amendment (that is, those who want to redefine marriage to include same-sex couples) are presenting their case first. The supporters of the amendment (that is, those who support marriage as the union of one man and one woman) will present their case next, maybe starting late next week. The trial could last around 3-4 weeks, but it is difficult to predict because one cannot be certain how long it will take to hear a certain witness, how many witnesses each side will call, and other such factors."
