Did Sine Blow Off Hebdo Hearing?

He just may have. Although there's enough in the way of basic factual difference from what we've already heard to cast the article in doubt, it states that the cartoonist facing charges of anti-Semitism from an editorial in Charlie Hebdo, the magazine from which he was then fired, stayed home to work on his Charlie Hebdo competitor. Instead, his lawyers showed up to present a list of witnesses they'll be calling, and the next hearing was set for January. Maurice Sine Sinet is facing the charges because of statements about the son of Nicholas Sarkozy he says were clearly intended as satirical humor.
