    Haven't you heard? Witness-banning is all the rage now.

    We've got this going on in the USA right now, in Nevada, by federal judge Gloria Navarro [redoubtnews.com]. Five weeks for the prosecution, a few days for the defense. Dozens of witnesses for the prosecution, but only one witness (aside from the accused) not banned from the defense.
