DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: We started the newscast about 17 minutes ago on pins and needles thinking we were about to get a decision out of Leon county circuit court. Looks like we can ease back a bit. Let's check in with Mark Potter, with the latest on that. Mark, good morning.</s>MARK POTTER, CNN ANCHOR: Good morning, Daryn. That's right, the expectation was that we would get a ruling this morning -- that's what the judge said last night, but it appears that it is slipping a little bit. We're being told now that that ruling could come -- is expected to come, now, somewhere between noon and 2:00, closer to 2:00, we are being told -- that from Terre Cass, the court administrator here at the Leon county court house. She says she'll be talking with us again around noon to discuss how the ruling will come, whether the judge will make his historic ruling from the bench or whether he will, simply, issue that ruling in writing. So we're standing by for that. We do know that the judge is not here in the courthouse. Some officials here have told us that he just has a lot of material to go through. He's working on it. He realized that he needed more time than he had anticipated. And so that explains the delay. The presumption is that he is at home, working away, and so we can stand down a little bit, and we will, until at least noon, where we will learn the details of how this announcement is to be made. But the announcement itself, we are told, is going to come to us, now, closer to 2:00, rather than this morning. Daryn, back to you.</s>KAGAN: All right, that time continues to slip back on into the day. Mark Potter, we'll check back with you later in the day.
