Yes, all eyes are on the federal courthouse as the Bud-I, armed with Richard Egbert, faces the power and might of the United States government. Anyone placing bets on this is pretty foolish, since Judge Torres's gag order and the high stakes have pretty much shut down the usual leakage as far as evidence is concerned.
