Having been to all but one of these hearings involving this, I will be looking forward to getting my first "contempt" charge.
Unfuckingbelievable.

The defense attorney for the 26-year-old Hilbert man accused of causing a crash that killed two motorcyclists and injured eight others requested that the court consider a dress code for observers attending the trial.
The request came at a status
conference Wednesday afternoon that also confirmed that there was
oxycodone in Clinton Lovelace’s system at the time of the crash.
According
to the criminal complaint, Lovelace drove into a pack of motorcyclists
on Highway 151 on May 2012, killing two men and injuring eight others.
Lovelace is charged with two counts of homicide by intoxicated use of a
vehicle, three counts of injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle, five
counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, two counts of
bail jumping and one count of possession of a controlled substance.
Defense
attorney Mary Wolfe said she requested consideration of a dress code
because jurors might be influenced by the attire of motorcyclists likely
to attend the trial, which is scheduled to begin Oct. 9. Wolfe did not
make a formal motion for a dress code at the hearing, nor was there
specific attire mentioned.
Assistant District Attorney Dennis Krueger questioned the request, stating it may conflict with first amendment rights.
“The right to a fair trial trumps (first amendment rights), though,” Wolfe said.
