Today saw the (at least weekend closure) of the pre trial hearings on the Casey Anthony case that have been dragging on for three days. It is but a brief respite, Judge Belvin Perry will have the players back in his court at 2pm Monday.
A court case should never be equated to an NFL game, but the analogies abound. Quarterback Jose Baez seems to have figured out that ‘faking a throw’, Zenaida Gonsalez, Roy Kronk, Tim Miller’s Equusearch group, oh the list goes on and on, but all roads lead to a disaster of epic proportions.
Late in Fridays hearing he was thrown a bone, the prosecution had been seeking sanctions against Baez for his wanton disrespect of court ordered deadlines to share discovery and information concerning his Experts, and their findings. In a move that I am scratching my head over Ashton announced to Judge Belvin Perry that the two sides had come to a resolution over the matter. Baez then put on his best smile and apologized to the court and to Ashton.
I would never disregard an order that your honor would issue in a case like this, I believe in what I’m doing as a defense lawyer. Many times in the course of a lawyer fulfilling his passion, sometimes a lawyer’s advocacy takes over for his professional judgment.
Of course Jose Baez was in a win/win situation. Lets face it, it is the tax payers footing his bill.
Earlier in the day Baez had detective Yuri Melich on the stand. Exactly what the objective of this boring and repetitive adventure was all about has yet to be discovered. Baez hammered on the subject of Melich trying to coerce testimony, but Baez was unable to make any of the ‘dung balls’ stick to the wall.
That is not to say that Baez did not win a few victories, clearly the subject of Casey Anthony and where and when her Miranda was given is of some importance in the exclusion of some evidence.
However this introduces a far larger question. It is rather like deciding to buy a high ticket item online. However, the only reviews permitted are the good ones. What happened to the one star reviews?
May is rapidly approaching. Can a few hollow victories by Jose Baez save Casey Anthony from a very long term all expenses paid vacation behind bars?

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackHello Simon,yes the May trial date is swiftly approching for Casey.We have been waiting a long time for this to come to trial.I like the way you always seem to bring some humor in when your writing about the actions of the court room drama.This trial should be interesting,to say the least.I know we all want justice for Caylee.She deserves for her little voice to be heard through these proceedings.Caylee was the victum,not Casey.Wonder who will get thrown out the court room first? Or held in contempt?
Even though a Judge says order in a court room.In these type cases.Emotions can run high,and tempers can flare.So im looking for some major drama in the Anthony trial.I do not want anything to cause a mistrial in this case.I say try it,an let the truth bring justice for Caylee.
Thank you for the update Simon. Bozo has had more breaks in this case than he or his client deserve. Interesting that he had been saying the judge and prosecution confused him but today it was “passion’s” fault. His “advocacy” took over his “professionalism”. His “just cause” took over his “professional responsibility”??? I wasn’t aware that he had either one.
I just loved the way Judge Perry put the smackdown on casey because she was late again, waiting for her wrinkled shirt. Too funny! Even funnier yet is that it seemed to go right over caseys head…DUH, He’s talkin’ to you sweetheart!She acted like she didn’t even hear him. I hope it happens again. I wanna see her have to come to court like any other inmate…handcuffed and shackled, wearing prison blues.
