Today's action in the Sutton Hearing
Just like yesterday, if you want to catch the Sutton Hearing, go to the LRC Website and the feed for room 412 around 3:00 - 3:30pm:
Or if you like to watch, go to KELOland.com, who will be streaming the proceedings live.
I'd also put in a plug for the Argus Leader's Voices weblog who, admittedly, has stepped up to the plate for live text based coverage. You can read that at http://blogs.argusleadermedia.com/voices/.
Denise Ross over at her Hog House blog is also doing a pretty good job herself. Catch text and video over at at http://www.hoghouseblog.com.
I got too entranced by the coverage to live blog it yesterday myself (along with Blogger's problems). Hopefully, both of those issues are resolved for today, and I'll try to get to it in about the 5pm Hour.

Question: does this mean if a trial would come about that this information can not be used in court????
I am shaking my head here.
Sutton supporters have been saying all along that the “real truth” would come out and we would all see the light about what a bad kid A.W. is and how Danny has been unfairly framed. So far, the only bombshells I’ve heard have come from the other side (porn on the computer, other victims, a secret tape). Of course, there’s always tomorrow…
It’s not looking good for Danny boy. While A.W.’s comments and reactions are consistent with someone whose been sexually victimized by a person in power, Sutton’s are not at all consistent with someone wrongly accused of the abhorrent act of sexual abuse. They are, however, quite consistent with someone who is in full damage control mode at the direction of his high-powered lawyers.
There is no such thing as "too supid to serve in Pierre."
Would that there were such.
Being a CCD teacher and religious and having deep faith he should know that.
They may have removed him from DDC instruction but no one canremove his faith except him.
Look at the history of someone who always works arounds kids!!!! I am no saying all people who work with kids harm them. Just look at history.
I am not saying he is or is not guilty of this.
He then said he talked to a Brandon something about a repressed memory he had of Sutton doing the same thing to him, took notes on that a year ago, and hid the notes. He said he just provided those notes to the Senate attorney on Friday, though he's known about this incident for a long time.
Then when Turbak questioned him, he said he had notes about a Nathan who found child porn on Sutton's computer. Again, he said he had notes about this that he has hidden under some furniture. This seems to be the first time anyone has ever heard of this. Turbak seemed pretty disgusted with him. After he finished testifying, the committee went into recess for several minutes.
Brady Olson sounded like a total loon.
I absolutely believe Sutton is guilty of something but the investigation was so botched and his family and the other people surrounding him seen like such idiots that I can't see how this is going to turn out well for the victim.
He told the panel that he takes notes on lots of conversations he has and hides them - not just conversations about this case. He told Turbak he keeps files about certain things and hides them. Do you honestly know ANYONE who does that?
He made no sense at all.
On the other hand there is a person who molests people when he thinks they are sleeping.
Hmmm...I wonder which one I would like to have as a friend.
For a start.
If you found him credible, you were the only one.
Note taking = a little odd
But I think Turback’s questioning blew it out of proportion.
Are you people seriously this dense?
I swear to God, I feel like I am on Pluto or something. WHAT HE SAID WAS INSANE. PP thinks so. Ross over at Hog House thinks so. The Argus used the word "bizarre" to describe the guy's testimony.
But i do not hide them. If the notes are important i put them in a safe place so i don't misplace them.
Remember he is a also a teacher.
Take that one and run with it however you want.
This almost sounds like a movie in the making.
Proof is one thing. The only thing that was admitted was that they slept in the same bed. FACT
So we have one "admitted" fact. there are other items leaning on the side of wrong doing but....
I've known a few teachers and plenty of college graduates who acted like dummies. Earning a college diploma doesn't guarantee that one has common sense.
Anyway, his actions in this whole thing are besides the point. Do you think he asked that Austin call him? or even put yourself in Brady's shoes, how would you react? PUT yourself in Austin's [or anyone involved in this case] position? I don't think anyone knows how they would truly react until they are actually in that situation.
Point is: The focus should not be on Brady. The character in question is Dan.
FHS Alum, if we are fully buying Brady Olson's story, no, he didn't ask for Austin Wiese to call him. It was smart of him to take notes, and it is something I would probably have done as well due to my job experience.
It starts to get weird when he talks about the ad hoc investigation he conducted by calling all of his former circle of friends to determine if others experienced the same thing. He solicited the two other stories he claimes to have noted and hidden in his home. When asked by the investigator if he knew of other victims, he said he did not. Though he did. That is wihholding necessary information, if not outright lying, and it calls one's credibility into question.
The difference between my note taking, and the note taking any normal person would do in this circumstance, is that my notes are turned over to appropriate law enforcement agencies IMMEDIATELY. I don't hide the notes under a file cabinet at work.
You're right, the character in question is Dan. The Senate wants to know what really happened with Sutton and Wiese so that Sutton can be appropriately punished for wrongdoing if necessary. They can't do that if one of the witnesses is hiding half the deck of cards under the dresser in his bedroom.
I also wanted to clarify/doublecheck something. Didn't Brady state that it was Kyle, AUSTIN's Brother, that went around and asked everyone? Brady said he was not involved in that. I believe that Brandon and Nathan went to him, but I could be wrong.
