Court Boots Brannon Rooter Seward

Curiously, the Coeur d'Alene Press online reported the identity of the Team Brannon supporter booted by Judge Charles Hosack from his courtroom Tuesday, after I asked for your guesses whom the individual might be. Sometimes, I suspect that the Press is monitoring things here to fill out there report on the trial. I wonder when they'll mention the trouble John and Lani Chamness had with the female private eye who showed up on their doorstep Friday, pretending to be a worker for the city of Coeur d'Alene, checking election irregularities? Anyway, reporter Tom Hasslinger provides the correct answer re: the minor player in the Team Brannon Peanut Gallery who got the boot -- Joy Seward. Click here for more.

  • PatrickH: I knew the name sounded familiar when I heard it. Seward is the OpenCDA supporter who had a heart attack in July of 2008. Here is the posting where Mary basically accuses Chris Copstead and the council of causing her heart attack.
