Judge Walker this morning announced that he is going to delay the closing arguments for several weeks after both sides finish with their witnesses. He wants more time to look over the evidence, prior to the final arguments.

This indicates that he will be active questioning from the bench during the closing arguments. This is keeping with his engaged demeanor throughout the trial. As our regular Trial Trackers know, Judge Walker has consistently interjected his own questions throughout the proceedings.

Due to this break, it is likely that Judge Walker will not take much time after the closing arguments to issue his ruling. So we should expect it in late Februrary or early March.
