A few things.
1. The Q&A session with Newstimes reporter Mike Gagne and myself starts at 12:25 (we were the only media in attendance).
2. The events surrounding the August 11th caucus were not adjudicated in court. There was NO ruling regarding which slate of candidates was valid. The attorney for the plaintiff repeatedly objected to the relevance of the events surrounding the August 11th being used in the case.
3. Judge Medina was emphatic in his stance that he did not want to get into the arguments regarding the bylaws of a political party.
4. If you're a member of the media and need background, then feel free to reach out at [email protected].
HatCityBLOG EXCLUSIVE: Roberto Alves court injunction press conference.

I was unable to get all my questions and concerns about the case and the chain of events that led up to the case answered. You can hear the responses to my questions and pushback to some of the statements made by Alves and Danbury Democrats chairman Larry Riefberg in the clip.
