Court started 35 minutes late this morning, and the defendant, who’s usually the first one in court, wasn’t there. The only explanation was that it was “security related.” Numerous deputy marshals are required to move Duncan; it’s possible some could have been delayed by closed streets this morning after last night’s southeast Boise fire, but no explanation has been offered. When Duncan finally was brought in, he was walking quickly and looking somewhat flustered, his long hair wild about his face.
