So will two women keeping a web diary of the trial.

The Feb. 12 minute-by-minute account includes tidbits at 9:12 a.m., when a defense attorney is on the phone. At 9:17 a.m., whispers. And at 9:24 a.m. discussion of the impression a bloody bat made on a pillow.

Sebastian Burns and Atif Rafay are charged with the 1994 triple murder of Rafay's parents and sister.

In the decade since the Bellevue murders, they have been photographed and written about countless times But never quite like this.

"I want (people) to know what happened that day. To have a sense of what mood the attorneys were in, how the witness reacted," explains Donna Larsen.

Larsen and friend Hilary Mohr take turns attending the trial and then writing up their observations.

They hope to spark interest in the law.

"We aren't saying or doing anything that they themselves can't do. Trials are public. They can go," says Mohr. "They can record their observations and post them on our forum."

At times, those observations capture colorful moments

A day when "everyone is joking" or when defendant "Burns is better dressed".

Comments they say are not meant to trivialize the case, but to paint the full picture of what's going on.

"If they were there, they would know what the defendant is wearing," explains Larsen. "If they saw someone's sweater tucked into their pants, they would think, 'that's a little weird.' "

The Web site has established a following, getting up to 400 hits a day. Most of the visitors are from Canada.

Burns and Rafay had to be extradited from Canada to face charges here.

Readers get details not covered by the mainstream media. Mohr points to the past week's proceedings as an example of something the trial diary covered that others did not.

"They're basically just fine tooth combing over every forensic detail," she says. "The past week it's been focused on blood spatter. They are examining every little fleck of blood."

Mohr and Larsen make no money off their Web site. But, both hope their passion eventually helps get them where they want to go: to law school.
