What's the Difference?

After conferring with RKLD legal counsel, I should clarify this previous post.

Judge Coleman is presiding over an administrative hearing, not a civil procedure.

The general court concepts of relevance and materialality are not applicable.

Thus, Judge Coleman is essentially allowing all testimony; he is letting everything in.

And because there is really no rules of evidence being applied, the judge is declined to grant objections, from either Party.

The result will be a mountain of data for the judge to review upon completion of the hearing.
