Judge Sand has said repeatedly that he would only consider ways in which the housing plan could be carried out.

But Judge Sand said he had no intention of letting that happen.

Judge Sand sentenced the couple to three years in prison but said he would recommend parole after six months.

Judge Sand said the city could not ask for such an action "and then scream about judicial activism."

"I really don't know what to say about that," Judge Sand said from the bench.

Judge Sand said he would rule next week on whether to permit the evidence.

Judge Sand also said that he would close jury selection to the public and the news media, reversing an earlier decision.

Judge Sand said, "The court's response would be to put the company in receivership."

Judge Sand said he hoped the school board would reconsider its decision to retain the sites.

Judge Sand said that for the housing to be built, "a great many pieces have to fall into place."
