Attorneys for the City of Seattle and Sonics finished closing arguments on Thursday, and U.S. District Court judge Marsha Pechman said she plans to post her decision on Wednesday afternoon.
Read my story from the final day of the trial here.
In an interview after the close of the trial, Seattle deputy mayor Tim Ceis said he was pleased with the way lead attorney Paul Lawrence presented the city's case in closing arguments, and believes the city has a strong case.
"He clearly laid out the strength of the city’s case to the judge, the strength of our claim for specific enforcement of the lease and why that is so important to the city of Seattle," Ceis said. "And not only to the City of Seattle but the people we represent. I thought it was particularly telling that the judge asked about sentimentality, how is it that the city can represent that sentiment of its citizens and the fans of basketball."
Listen to the full interview with Ceis and Lawrence here, and here.
