Hump Day Wild Card — 9.1.10

If you read between the lines, it doesn’t appear that Jim Brannon will find the holy grail at the end of his long quest to overturn his 5-vote election loss to Councilman Mike Kennedy 10 months ago. Judge Charles Hosack all but said that he remains unpersuaded by the arguments introduced by Brannon attorney Starr Kelso and by Brannon’s starry-eyed followers. If the man who has heard everything to date is unconvinced, do you think Brannon-Kelso can persuade the judge in a court trial in a more compressed time?

Correction: I’ve been saying that this is going to be a jury trial. It’s not. It’s going to be a court trial w/Judge Charles Hosack presiding. It’s set for 4 days.
