The trial of Joseph Bova continues for its fifth day, including two days of jury selection earlier in the week. The state rested Thursday. The defense began to put on its case. Bova himself is expected to testify today. The trial is not scheduled to end until at least Monday. It takes place before Circuit Judge Terence Perkins in Courtroom 401, Flagler County Courthouse, 1769 E Moody Blvd, Building #1. Bova is accused of murdering store clerk Zuheili Rosado in 2013 at the Mobil convenience store on State Road 100 in February 2013. Bova has been at a psychiatric facility for treatment, judged incompetent to stand trial. In February 2019, the administrator of the facility notified the court that Bova “no longer meets the criteria for continued commitment,” suggesting he is ready for trial. In July, the court determined trial should go ahead. The trial is expected to take several days. Bova’s courtroom behavior has been unpredictable: he has previously threatened the life of a judge, and refused to show up at his last hearing on Sept. 6, when the trial date was set.

palmcoaster says
Brigitte Bardot the great image of a beautiful woman arriving into her golden years, happy, showing still that shine in her big eyes and a wide smile….a great image alive and well at 85 versus other famous ones stories succumbing to drugs, booze or other addictions much much younger. She wears her age with grace. Joyeux anniversaire Mademoiselle!
