The majority of the rest of the city's witnesses will most likely be police officers or neighbors near the bar, according to Verveer.

Roderick Flowers, owner of R Place on Park, and his attorney Anthony Delyea will also have several witnesses to call on.

""The hearing will most likely go on for one or two more meetings,"" Verveer said.

The hearings may result in a revocation of the bar's license following a complaint filed by Madison Police Captain Joe Balles. Balles filed the complaint after 25 separate disturbances, including several shootings, at the bar dating back to May of 2010.

The next hearing has not yet been scheduled.
