Groklaw has been tracking the case pretty much from the beginning.
The contributors (primarily P. Jones) have done a lot of their own
research surrounding the case and, often, the site gets updates from
people observing the case in the courtroom.  (The word "witness" would
have been more concise, but possibly misleading.  ;-)

A significant, recent event in this case is the bankruptcy judge's
decision to appoint a trustee to oversee SCO in Chapter 11.  This
occurred after it became clear that SCO management was not acting in
good faith.  As I understand it, it will now be up to the trustee to
determine SCO's appropriate actions regarding the lawsuits.
