Bernie Ward Sentencing Countdown

First, we are loving Dan Noyes' coverage of the Bernie Ward/kiddie porn trial. It is, for lack of a better descriptive, incestuously fun. (Ward was employed by KGO before Ward's career and reputation went into free fall after being indicted on child pornography charges.) If any SFist contributor gets nailed for hiding a hard drive full of Dakota Fanning creampie pics, we're gonna be all over them, Noyes style. (And, really, it's just a matter of time with this crew.)

Anyway, ABC 7's silver fox is live blogging the trail, which is happening this very minute. And we can't hit refresh enough. So far prosecutor Steve Grocki says that Ward "traded in the currency of human suffering, of children's' suffering," the defense is begging for five years, and Ward takes "full responsibility." Go here now to check it out. It's harrowing, sad, riveting, depressing, and this morning's guilty pleasure.
