Thursday marks day four of the Elizabeth Halverson battle to keep her seat on the Clark County bench. Prosecutors will present only a few more witnesses before Halverson gets her turn to tell her side of the story.

It's a tale that includes accusations of sexual and verbal harassment, misconduct with jurors, and even an instance where the judge fell asleep in the middle of a case. News 3's Collette Wieland went live to the Las Vegas Convention Center to report Thursday's developments.

The presiding judge originally said that the trial would end Friday, but as of Thursday morning, he has had a change of heart. The judge says that the hearing will now continue into next week, most likely resuming on Thursday. The federal hearing that denied Halverson's requests to stop the proceedings has caused a delay in the prosecution's testimony.

Thursday, Ileen Spoor, Halverson's former assistant, testified. She has known Judge Halverson for several years and supported Halverson during her election campaigns. Spoor testified that she was once forced to wake Judge Halverson while she was on the bench, that Halverson had called her co-workers derogatory names, and that Halverson had even spoken ill of her own husband.

Spoor continued, saying that she recalled a time when Judge Halverson asked her to entertain her while at work: "When I explained that I didn't sing or dance, she asked me to tell her a story," says Spoor. She then testified that Halverson responded to her by saying, "Just talk to me. Just tell me stories. I like your stories. And when I fall asleep, cover me with a blanket. Then you can leave and go back to work."

Judge Halverson was expected to take the stand Thursday, but her testimony has been delayed. She will now take the stand Friday, testifying for the defense. In order to receive more time to call defense witnesses, Judge Halverson must submit written reasons why she is requesting more time, have a written subpoena stating that each of her witnesses have been legally notified that they must appear in court, and provide a list of witness names to the Disciplinary Panel.

Wednesday, Halverson asked a federal court to stop the proceedings against her. She claims she's being denied due process and that the negative publicity surrounding the hearing is ruining her chances of re-election. A federal judge denied her request and refused to halt the hearings, but did schedule a hearing on the issue for next week.
