  The experts are being paid for with public funds. Nicolas Guaman has been determined by the court to be indigent, so his attorneys and the experts have been appointed to defend him.

  I think it is from the leaves and tree debris that are collected by the department, but let me call tomorrow and check... I saw some pine cones in the pile when I was over there.

  Hi Ed,
  I will have to see if they will comment. So far in this case, little to no comment from the prosecution outside court appearances. I was told a translator has been hired, although I saw no documentation about who it was. Also, the new court date is now July 17 in this case. The judge has approved a continuation request.

  Keep it civil, and directed at the issue, or your comments will be deleted.

  gamingfacts, you are throwing an awful lot of criticism at any one who is opposed to this. I have yet to delete one of your posts. But when I see you going after people by name, telling them you know who they are, it bothers me. This site is moderated and I"m not going to let it devolve into one long weekend-long argument. The user agreement is very clear.

  And you are welcome to keep posting criticism of the critics. But I don't want people feeling like they can't post here for fear of personal attacks, particularly people who choose to use their names. Just keep it civil.

  And gamingfacts, I would caution you to not attack other posters on this publication because they will be deleted. You need to follow the rules of the Patch forums.

  gamingfacts, I would not characterize the criticism of opponents as "hysterical half truths." In an earlier post on this thread, you said the CEO seemed to be stretching the truth, too. The forum was a public event, and if Scott Butera is making claims that Foxwoods employees say are not true, then they every right to come and post their opinion on that. Perhaps Foxwoods will release the specific salaries of employees in percentiles, so that we could all see the facts. That's the responsibility of the applicant.
