the former president then left the courthouse in a slow speed progression, not unlike what we saw in the o.j. case, slow speed. he was ordered not to speak to nauta about the case, not to speak to potential witnesses to be named later by prosecutors. nauta, however, was by the former president s side during a stop on the way to the airport at a restaurant in little havana where a group of clergy gathered around the former president and prayed for him. a source telling cnn the location was chosen because the cuban community knows, quote, all too well about political persecution. the former president clearly trying to link himself to people who have actually been persecuted in cuba. a short time ago he landed at newark airport heading for his new jersey golf club where he s expected to make his first formal remark sometime within the hour. we are not going to take his speech live, but we will, of course, monitor them as they come in and bring you anything that is actually news worthy.
