Laura Owens

Now, in San Francisco, that same energy surrounded Mike.

Outside the courthouse that morning, I ran into journalist Megan Fox.

I'm reporting out from in front of the Superior Court in California in San Francisco.

We're going to wait for Laura Owens to appear by Zoom, we think.

Maybe.

Or maybe she's not going to show up at all.

We're not sure.

But we're going to go in and find out.

We're all here.

Where is she?

What do you think is going to happen today?

We all piled into the small courtroom.

I sat next to Clayton.

Since it's a domestic violence-related proceeding, audio recording is not allowed in the courtroom.

But I took plenty of notes, so let me summarize.

Laura joins by Zoom, along with her former attorney, David Gingras, although Gingras clarified that he was there as a witness, not as Laura's counsel.

Because Laura is the petitioner in this case, the judge told her that she needed to be there in person, but Laura refutes this and says she thought it was only strongly suggested that she be there in person.

The judge agreed to pick up the hearing the following day.

But when they did, she said Laura needed to be in the courtroom.

No exceptions.
