[TomK]

This is the latest minute from the Ho'ohiki court system. This was on 10/12/16, i.e., Wednesday. Apologies for the legal acronyms:

"CT RPTR: LISA STEINMEYER CT CLRK: M. ANGUAYPRESENT: DAG KEVIN TAKATA AND DAG MICHELE PUU FOR THE STATE PV TODD EDDINS AND PV RICHARD SING W/ DEFT KENOI 8:55 AM CASE CALLED.

Essentially, it seems the number of potential jurors is now down to 85, which is what prompted me to ask my question to mac nut.
