Montgomery County's "Case of the Century," Mithun Banerjee v. The People Possibly Racist to My Personal Opinion, got underway today in Montgomery County Circuit Court, the Honorable Cy Tayshen presiding.

Banerjee, acting as his own counsel, led with a two-hour victimization impact statement. In rebuttal, defense attorney Sue Mitoo replayed his statement. By the afternoon, the plaintiff was questioning key witnesses.

Lou Peck, Contributing Editor, Bethesda Magazine & Co-Founder, Maryland Matters

Banerjee: Bethesda Magazine is horrible in their Journalism when they fail to cover all the County Executive Candidates. The same Bethesda Magazine removed my Picture from a County Executive Forum for what reason? Is it because I am a Minority & Person of Color?

Peck: You had a booger.

Banerjee: Later you included my picture after Public Criticism, which means that you had my Picture but removed it but why?

Peck: An intern used ChatGPT to remove the booger.

Banerjee: This not right to my personal opinion. Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

Peck: I wanted them to leave the booger.

Matt Quinn, Executive Vice President, Greater Olney Civic Association & President, Olney Chamber of Commerce

Banerjee: Greater Olney Civic Association did a County Executive Forum but didn't invite me & when I email them a Legal Notice, Mr. Matthew(Matt) Quinn told me on the Phone that I can stand in a Corner, just like the days of Slavery when I am a Candidate in the Ballot, who is a Minority & Person of Color. Why I have to come & stand on a Corner?

Quinn: You haven't changed your campaign outfit in 27 candidate forums.

Banerjee: Why Mr. Matthew(Matt) Quinn & Greater Olney Civic Association, Olney Theatre Center & Olney Civic Fund - Coordinator of Olney Days will host an Event & not invite the County Executive Candidate who is a Minority, Person of Color, Asian American & Immigrant but a US Citizen & ask him to stand on a Corner? Please let's Expose his Possible Racism to my personal opinion. Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

Quinn: It's just that you're a little ripe, dude.

Jack Hogan, Reporter, The Baltimore Banner

Banerjee: Banner Montgomery is part of Banner, which is a 501.C.3 Organization, which means it can't interfere in Election with Interferences by Promoting & Reporting Establishment Candidates only & not talk about Other Candidates. Why Banner & Banner Montgomery County is so possibly biased, unethical, immoral & corrupt in their Reporting?

Hogan: I'm sorry, who are you?

Banerjee: My name is Mithun Banerjee. I am a Candidate Running for County Executive for Montgomery County, Maryland. Please visit my website www.mithunbanerjee.com.

Hogan: Hmm, name doesn't ring a bell.

**Kojo Nnamdi, Host, The Politics Hour, WAMU 88.5**

Banerjee: WAMU is the Most Corrupt & Racist Media Group to my Personal Opinion which isolate People of Color & Minority Candidate like me Running for County Executive Office & fails to stand up against the Establishment Politician's Corruptions.

Nnamdi: I was born and raised in Guyana and once belonged to the Black Panthers.

Banerjee: Total Disgrace to Ethical Journalism to my Personal Opinion. Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

Nnamdi: You can see and hear me, right?

The first trial day ended with 257 witnesses yet to be questioned. Monday's proceedings will include Marc Elrich, the County Council, the full Circuit Court judiciary, and all living descendants of Josiah Henson.
