But does that matter now? I think this article is a fork all by itself.

One, it was the hot issue at the time. And, two, conference for Baze was set 9/24, therefore, any competent atty knew cert would be granted the following day. And please don't tell me about computer problems. How many people don't have 2 or more computers and 2 or more printers? *TDS didn't call and ask who was assigned to after hours filing and ask to speak to that judge directly? I mean come on! They have handled capital cases before, haven't they? That is what you are supposed to do, isn't it? It's ridiculous to point the finger at anyone but TDS. I don't know why they wanted to go public with this because it is going to come back and bite them in the ass. Do one of you want to explain why:
