Trial text
Even before she took the stand on Jan. 29, accused judge stalker Taylar Nuevelle seemed to be having a rough time during the first week of her criminal trial. The case was a local media sensation, complete with television cameras hounding her outside District of Columbia Superior Court. But Thursday afternoon ended on a different kind of low point, when Judge Russell Canan confiscated her cellphone for texting in court despite his order not to. After Nuevelle claimed she was using the phone to take notes (she wasn’t), her lawyer said she had misunderstood the judge’s instructions. Canan was already concerned about reports that Nuevelle had gone out to lunch with a witness and a friend, and prosecutors wanted to photograph the text message. “I don’t have access to anybody!” a distraught Nuevelle cried out. — Jordan Weissmann
