I am the superintendent of the Columbus School District in Columbus, Kansas. I believe hard work, persistence, and showing up everyday are the keys to success.

According to @conlin_lauren, drama unfolded in the courtroom today, with a frustrated Judge Charlaine Olmedo entering the Clara Shortridge Foltz courtroom Thursday morning with several issues she wanted to put on the record.

Before testimony resumed for the third day of David Anthony Burke’s preliminary hearing, the judge announced she received an email informing the court’s media office that a content creator in another state was receiving live transmitted updates about what was occurring in court. The judge had previously ordered that live transmitting for this hearing was not allowed, and the order is stated before court begins every morning.

An altercation also took place between Beth Silverman and private investigator Steve Fischer, with Silverman accusing Fischer of directing negative comments at her and stating he should not be present in the courtroom as he was previously a witness in the grand jury. Finally, Silverman stated on record that Celeste’s family attorney, Patrick Steinfeld, had spoken with Fischer on day one of the hearing, which she also stated was not allowed. Steinfeld turned to Fischer and stated that he approached the investigator and the conversation only lasted 15 seconds.

Fischer ultimately left the courtroom without objection.

@SF_investigates and I spoke following his interaction with Silverman on Tuesday. He stated Beth Silverman is “not a fan�� of him, previously predicting “more of that will come out.”

“She does not like the fact that I’ve kept the story, I’ve tried to keep it in the media while nothing seemed to be happening,” Fischer said.

More forensic evidence was discussed once court began. @conlin_lauren has provided updates on her account, and a full video will be posted by her once the court breaks for lunch.

Media: WHY IS THE BIG 12 TRYING TO DESTROY COLLEGE FOOTBALL?!?!?!

[Brian Smith @BrianSmith963]

@MacEngelProf I hope you wrote the same article when the Big 12 was raided multiple times. Otherwise, you are a hypocrite.

Being outside is really a very important thing for Covid-19 because you're getting fresh air and movement. It also turns out that being in the outside environment dissipates these aerosols very, very quickly. https://t.co/Ns3cZxew9v via @bluezones

I asked QB Patrick Cassidy if they felt overlooked going into the season. I'm paraphrasing a little.

"Oh definitely. You didn't come out here before our season started. We noticed."

I LOVE IT.
