TAPE-DELAYED LAW: Local media interest was intense at the first trial in 1990 for Dr. Thomas Gionis, accused of masterminding the Newport Beach attack on his ex-wife, Aissa Wayne, who is John Wayne’s daughter. His retrial this week--forced by a hung jury the first time--will get national exposure. . . . Court TV, the new cable network specializing in real trials, will cover the testimony daily. But the network won’t show the Gionis trial at the Santa Ana courthouse live, as it did the William Kennedy Smith trial. The Gionis trial coverage will be edited first, then shown on tape delay.
