Roundup: SR Subpoena Date Nears

Reminder: Judge John Luster (Courtroom #1) will hear arguments on the SR motion to quash Tina Jacobson’s subpoena beginning at 9 a.m. Friday at the Kootenai County courthouse.

First District Judge John Luster will hear The Spokesman-Review’s motion to quash a subpoena filed by former Kootenai County GOP CC chairman Tina Jacobson, seeking the names of three anonymous HucksOnline commenters. The hearing will begin at 9 a.m. We don’t know how long the hearing will last, or whether Judge Luster will hand down a decision Friday. He may take the matter under advisement. In preparation for Friday morning’s event, I’m posting links to the key stories about Jacobson’s lawsuit against John/Jane Doe, her subpoena and other important stories along the way:
