Arraignment Tomorrow - Finally

Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 9, 2007 Christopher G. Parker will finally be arraigned on the charges he is receiving in connection with my Mom, Diane Carhart's death. The arraignment is being held at 9:00am in the first session courtroom at the Barnstable District Courthouse in Barnstable, MA.

Family members and neighbors of Diane will be attending. The arraignment is held in a public courtroom so we will be able to witness the proceedings. If anyone would like to go to support our family and Diane's memory we would love to have you. Directions and info can be found here - Barnstable District Courthouse. The First Session Courtroom will be on the left when you go through the security check. Speaking of the security check I have learned that they will no longer allow cellphones that have a camera in them into the courthouse. If they see it in your purse or pocket they will have you bring it out to your car...I learned the hard way when I had to bring my old cellphone back out to my car in the pouring rain. It doesn't work and I'd actually forgotten it was in my purse .

As far as I know Parker will be brought from the Barnstable County House of Correction by the County Sheriff's office. I am hoping he will be at least handcuffed when he is brought into the courtroom...and leg chains would be even better!

At the Arraignment we will hear how Parker pleads and also find out who he has hired as an Attorney to handle this case. During a previous court appearance when Parker was asked by a reporter about the case he referred all questions to his attorney but then declined to say who represents him, saying ''Go to the hearing and find out.''

A summary of the arraignment will be posted here as soon as I get back home tomorrow.
