She goes through the list of all remaining pending motions. She won't hear any of them today but will hear them in the coming week.
Steel cites case law showing that if a motion to recuse was initially denied, then later granted (like what happened here) everything that happened after the initial motion to recuse is "invalid".
Specifically, Woody's last couple of days of testimony.
Attorney Max Schardt, for shannon stillwell, also wants the Judge to re-visit the admissibility of Woody's testimony as a co-conspirator as a whole.
Judge Whitaker makes it clear she really wants to avoid going back and reconsidering evidentiary rulings from Glanville. She wants to move forward only.
She agrees she is open to looking into reconsidering Woody's testimony admissibility because he is still a sworn witness.
Judge Whitaker says she has not followed the case.
The jury has been told they are excused the next 2 weeks, so they will be back at the earliest August 5th.
She sets a rough deadline for motions July 23rd, and State's responses for July 26th, and hear them week of July 29.
Ms. Love says a multiple motions (and responses) from the state are coming too, and she will follow the Tuesday July 23rd deadline for those.
She also will be submitting a list of all of Glanville's previous rulings to make it easier for Judge Whitaker to catch up.
Judge Whitaker is going to ask Ms. Weaver (Glanville's court reporter) to prepare previous transcripts, and give her the agreed upon exhibit list.
Judge Whitaker's current court reporter is retiring next week so we'll only have 1 week to get to know her.
Whitaker is laying down a lot of ground rules.
Cut down on the amount of clothes, no one needs more than 5 outfits.
No more headphones in the middle of trial
Judge Whitaker asks the state for a "realistic set of witnesses" , what counts the witnesses go to, and what they expect the witnesses will testify to.
She will exclude any witnesses she deems "cumulative"
Judge Whitaker says the few things she's seen from this case gave her the impression that tempers were getting really high and lawyers got a bit unprofessional at times.
She hopes this gap has served as a "breather", expecting that everyone remains professional going forward.

Judge Whitaker says she wants to tell the jury that "we needed a new judge" and nothing more than that.
Brian Steel objects and says the jury needs to know Glanville was removed for his conduct.
Next, Judge Whitaker briefly addresses Doug Weinstein's supplemented Motion for Mistrial.
She says she will take it into consideration with the other mistrial motions she plans to rule on.
Weinstein highlights the time that the State violated discovery orders and Glanville's response was "if this was a civil trial i would have kept it out" but he let it in.
Weinstein argues that he would think the standards are higher in a criminal trial about someone's LIFE
