Not much came out of today's hearing. The question of whether Jamie McCourt owns half the team isn't likely to be ruled on by a Superior Court judge until next year - and even then it might be eclipsed by whatever happens in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Meanwhile, hearings have been scheduled on Frank McCourt's efforts to reduce monthly support he pays his ex-wife. There's also the matter of $291,252 in past-due property maintenance costs that Jamie McCourt says her husband owes. Ugh. (LAT)
