Despite arrangements made in advance and plenty of email/phone follow-up by Christina Groce, Legal Defense & Crisis Management Team Director for Louisiana United International, Inc. (LUI), the Louisiana Orleans Parish Jail as agent of the Orleans Parish Prison, failed to connect Petitioner Errol Victor, Sr. to the court hearing by video;
Co-defendants Judge Dennis Waldron and the State of Louisiana appeared by attorneys with the state's office of Attorney General;
Co-petitioners Belinda Parker-Brown and Dr. Zena Crenshaw-Logal, appeared by video. Dr. Z made oral arguments on the Petitioners' Response to the Defendants' Exceptions which the petitioners finalized with Rev. Victor on the preceding Friday.
