You have a point, I am used to criminal trials where judges, prosecutors etc. deny furtherance requests. I think though that in the interest of getting this thing done, someone should be stepping up and requiring reasons for these delays. Obviously if the school board is agreeing, they are going to happen. The board wants this thing to end right here in their back yard. I can guarantee you they do not want this to go to a next level. So, they will grant any delay request and take all the time they want. Meanwhile, you and I will pay for it. In addition to more cost, it provides openings such as this one, the alleged evidence tampering. If this pattern continues, one might begin to think Freshwater is playing the board.

Money is not the issue here, the right to a fair trial is the issue. Nobody has ever been able to define the word “justice”. Courts’ are not about justice…but rather in protecting the economic powerhouse that makes this country run. Therefore, Freshwater will probably lose because of his Federal lawsuit against the school board, in which millions could be awarded to him. It’s sad that this is the true reality.

The board is not dragging its heels. Most of the postponements have come at the request of the Freshwater camp. It has been noted many times in these blogs that the hearing is at the request of Freshwater and it is his right under law. The board is required to hold the hearings and have no choice in the matter. I am sure the school board wishes this whole farce had been concluded many hundreds of days ago.

Re : Doug Sargent
Why do you blame the board for “dragging their feet”? “Now with allegations of evidence tampering” (by Freshwater) who is causing this to go on longer? The board has nothing to do with the length of this hearing. They made their decision 2 years ago.

@ alumni –
your right the school district would rather spend money on a lawyer than on the children. yep they dont care about the children. they are just trying to fire someone who hurt a child and taught against science and taught his religion.

There is a right way and a wrong way to join any group. You either accept they policies form by the group or you don’t. Follow their rules or form you’re own group if you are able to find enough people to believe as you do. Recently, I joined a club, made fun of myself, made people laugh, and made those running the place nervous. My attitude was rejected so I quit attenting the place for I didn’t fit in. We all want to be noticed, but to what extent?

I don’t think anyone has to set up Mr Freshwater. He’s done that himself.
