. . . being questioned by Judge Hoyt, and he just played the good ol’ “no independent recollection” card:

I have no independent recollection of having read anything that Mr. Kelly filed.

  1. Mark,

    Nice TV spot. I liked the beard a little more than the stache.

    Did your blog contribute to your TV appearance? I received a TV inquiry this week only because of IWTS.

    Also, are you watching this hearing? Is there going to be a transcript somewhere?

  2. I think your comments on the tube were fair.

    It appears that Chuck is using the “dumbass defense.” Gee, Judge, I’m so computer illiterate I don’t even know how to type.

    Maybe you should try that one at your next trial.

  3. Ahh, the “stupidity” defense! Reminiscent of ol’ Ollie North during the congressional Iran Contra hearings..
    ” I do not recall”, ” I was not aware”, “I do not understand the charge”, ” I was not told specifically to not do that”….
