There have been few days as busy as Thursday in the Brieant courthouse. Two criminal trials plus the”open for business” sign on the bankruptcy trustee’s office would have made the courthouse standing room only on any day.
But you toss in the Newburgh alleged jihadists’ presentments and the accompanying tsunami of media descending on the courthouse and you have one for the books.
The bustle and high-profile case were enough for Susanne Brody, the sharp-tongued chief of the Federal Defenders Office, to point out that most days I’m lurking around the courthouse, there’s nothing so intense going on.
“Well, look at you,” she said as we met on our way into the accused would-be terrorists’ hearing. “I guess even a blind chipmunk finds a nut once in a while.”
