[*] Gordon is the aggrieved party (something like three of the five "stalking counts" are him claiming he feels threatened). He is also the lead witness for the prosecution. He is also the lead investigator during Bell I, Bell II, and Bell III. He is also the lead witness-management worker for the prosecution, telling lackeys when to bring the next witness into the courtroom. He is also the technical expert, bringing up digital photos and turning the courtroom screens on or off. He is the case-management guy, correcting London when the attorney doesn't know which house is which on the photo.
But even though Gordon is a key witness, he is not sequestered. Even though he is the aggrieved party, he is the investigator. Even though he has personal animus toward the defendant, he seems in charge of the prosecution's case.
Looks to me like JB has pretty good grounds for appeal right here, regardless of the rest of the case. This is looking more and more like the classic Soviet/PR/whatever style of kangaroo court.
