Wright hearings: a few quick notes
I stopped into the Wright hearings for a little while today. They were really just getting going.
Neither Wright nor his lawyers were in the room and you can expect to see more than one shot of his empty chair on the evening news tonight.
A cast of thousands (okay, maybe 20-plus reporters) is covering the affair, including my friends at Dome and the Tavern. Because Wright is about 200 miles short of local for our paper, we're going to take the Associated Press story for tomorrow's paper.
Of local note: Rep. Laura Wiley, a High Point Republican, is one of six committee members who will recommend what steps the full House should take.
Wright's lawyer is Douglas Harris of Greensboro. A quick check of our archives shows that Harris has handled several murder cases in and near Greensboro but I don't know a lot about him other than that.
