Laura Owens

What do we do?

When Omar and Rachel woke up the next morning, their inbox was full of emails from Laura Owens.

And I'm in the hospital.

I really was coming.

I promise.

I promise.

But now I'm in the hospital and I might have to have a procedure and this and that.

And so now I really obviously cannot come anymore.

According to Laura, in a declaration in support of motion to correct and augment the record, in the early morning hours of November 5th, she experienced multiple episodes of vomiting blood.

She alleged this was a life-threatening recurrence of prior gastrointestinal bleeding and that she was seeking medical care at a hospital in Arizona.

We get another email at 6.53 a.m.

Laura emailing the court, just letting them know, hey, so unfortunately, I've had these two life-threatening medical occurrences.

In that same declaration, Laura said her physicians didn't expect her to be released until the following day.

So she wasn't showing up.

She'd pulled something like this once already.

The question was, would they give her another continuance like they had two weeks prior?

So me and Rachel were like, there's no fucking way they're going to continue this, right?

There can't be.

So again, it kind of turns what is already a stressful trial morning into a total circus, right?

On the morning of November 5th, the hearing was still on the court docket.
