We just spoke to our #FPCLaw team who informed us that the first day of the Miller hearing went well. The Court heard argument on several motions brought by the State and subsequently denied most of those motions.

Afterwards, the Court began to hear argument on the merits of the case, which ended early due to technical difficulties. The trial will resume Friday morning. We look forward to continuing to fight for the People and their rights.

They can work wonders when it's a way to infringe on your rights.
