McCourt trial, and L.A., beckon to ESPN writer

Molly Knight wrote the ESPN Magazine piece on McCourt v. McCourt for the July 26 issue. She was out here last week to cover the first five days of court testimony — "It’s pretty much a circus" — though she wrote on her blog last month that she could easily have missed it.

I honestly didn’t think it would get to this point. My money was on the McCourts settling when July turned into August, but here we sit. Yesterday was the deadline to reserve a seat in the court room and I would have forgotten to do so had the ineffable Bill Shaikin not emailed to remind me.

She also announced on her blog that she's moving back to Los Angeles in a few months. She moved to New York at 20, is now almost 29, and says that Joan Didon explains it best in Goodbye to All That.
