Bizar Male 1 month ago

“Active Shooter at 12! Hostage negotiation at 1:30! Drug raid at 2:30,” hollers an authoritative voice in a sun-baked concrete yard. The retired police officer who announces this schedule at the start of “At the Ready,” Maisie Crow’s sobering documentary about a community of kids growing up on the Mexican border, isn’t at a professional police school or military facility. And yet, he addresses neat rows of individuals dressed in military gear — all teenagers, attending an unusual extracurricular training program at El Paso’s Horizon High School, seeking eventual employment in the law enforcement field in the near future.

A year earlier, he stepped down as the president and CEO of The Fisher Group, which handles the financial affairs of the Max Fisher family.

But retirement doesn’t agree with Jaffe.

“Since I started working 60 years ago, work always equaled fun,” Jaffe said. “It

Clients and their attorneys were considered a “static group” due to the need for them to speak with one another throughout the trial. They were not allowed to intermingle with other people in the courtroom.

Holding a jury trial during a pandemic is time and labor intensive for courthouse staff. The number of people in the courtrooms are limited by the Missoula City-County Health Department’s social distancing guidelines. However, court operations are public by law, which meant Vannatta’s staff had to find a way to make the trial available by video.

With the jury spread out throughout the courtroom, the
