Today’s session of the Sheila Dixon trial starts at 9 a.m. WBAL TV has live updates here.

You can also follow the trial on Twitter via the #dixontrial hashtag. Be sure to include the hashtag if you’re tweeting about the trial whether you’re in the courtroom or not. We have included updates from that hashtag below. These updates are from others tweeting about this hashtag.

Update: WBAL TV has the @wbaltv_court account on Twitter now. We are seeing anecdotal reports of a possible Twitter ban however, anyone with details please provide them. (There were rumors of a ban last week. At least one reporter tweeting last week said that is not true. It looks like things are just slow getting started today – hence the lack of tweets so far.)

Since @wbaltv_court is not playing nice with hashtags (there are no known two way conversations with any of the stations Twitter streams), I’ve added a separate box below to track it.
