From the American Foundation for Equal Rights… The federal trial over the unconstitutionality of
Proposition 8 began today with an opening statement by attorney Theodore Olson,
who with David Boies is leading the legal team assembled by the American
Foundation for Equal Rights to litigate the case Perry v. Schwarzenegger.
Opening statements will be followed by testimony from Kris Perry, Sandy Stier,
Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo, who comprise two couples who wish to be married
but who were denied marriage licenses because of Proposition 8. After the
opening statement David Boies gave the direct examination of Jeff Zarrillo and
Paul Katami. Read
