Caylee Marie Anthony- MURDER TRIAL- DAY 23 - 6/20/11

[cookie]

Casey won't walk if there is a mistrial will she? won't she remain in jail until she is tried again? Jeff is not going to let that happen..no mistrial here...

[trimmonthelake]

It wouldnt shock me if the defense is trying to force a mistrial by angering the State to request it or the judge ordering it so they can attach jeopardy as Bill Schaeffer was discussing on WFTV http://www.wftv.com/caseytriallive1/index.html.   They know she's guilty, they know they are screwed.

What you're saying makes sense, Capp. 

[Cappuccino]

so, I am confused...is Rodriguez going to get to testify or was it thrown out..have seen 2 different answers...

He will testify cookie, but it was deferred so JA can prepare to question him

Correct, not now but Ashton was granted to review the dep.   The other "expert" hasnt even been deposed yet

Casey won't walk if there is a mistrial will she? won't she remain in jail until she is tried again? Jeff is not going to let that happen..no mistrial here...

NO, she won't walk she will remain in jail and be re-tried.

What did the state do besides the power point?


What happens if the witness isn't there in 30 minutes?

Yep.  I feel like pummeling them too!     
The defense teams strategy is to force a mistrial.

The State didn't do a power point, the witness for the defense did the PP. 

I imagine all hell will break loose if the witness isn't there in 30 min.  This is pure BS on the defenses part.

Sunny,

You seem to know some info on Mason.

Why is Mason allowing Baez to get away with this stuff?

To me this is not  dirty tricks..just shoddy workmanship on Baez part.

Why hasn't Mason told him to pepare for trial properly? 

Doesn't Mason see this reflects badly for himself too?

It is Baez case but Mason is the death qualified attorney..so why is he allowing someone on their team to do this stuff..my mouth is gaping.

GDD, I have no insiders info..when he first came on board I did some research on him and some of the cases he has handled. I still can't understand why he seems to be so well respected within SOME in the legal community. I also worked for a good ole boy attorney in Houston who used to laugh at some of the 'tricks' he pulled. In fact he reminds me so much of the attorney I worked for, it is scary at times. I also asked an judge friend in Houston if he would make a couple calls as I knew he has friend within the legal community in FL. He told me not to under estimate CM..he has practiced law long enough to know EVERY trick and when to use them. AND used them!! He said he was told CM likes to break up the flow of the trial when it is going bad for the defense. This was shortly after CM joined the defense.......at that time many thought the defense would rest without calling witnesses.  I happened to chat with my friend this weekend and he said  so far it looks like the defense should have rested and not called witnesses.    As the lead attorney the win or lose will be JB's...not CM's.

Good morning Monkeys---- The judge said he doesn't make threats.  Excuse me, Your Honor, but you have done so repeatedly, giving Baez extraordinary leeway to disregard the Court's orders and established procedure.  Some might say the judge wishes to avoid an appeal.  However, any of the judge's rulings might be appealed in any case, and probably will be.   Being appealed does not mean winning an appeal.  If Casey Anthony is convicted and sentenced to death, she receives an automatic appeal anyway.  IMO only, it is time for the judge to stop issuing empty threats and carry through with whatever sanctions are appropriate and lawful.  It is time to stop worrying about protecting his own record.  IMO there are three sides in this trial where there should be only two.  The judge, who fails to sanction Baez in order to preserve his own record, the State's which is admonished regularly when they have done nothing wrong, as in this instance, and the defense, which regularly flaunts the law and the Court's orders with impunity.

so the defense must be running out of witnesses already if there isn't anyone waiting the wings...perhaps Casey is going to be up there soon??
I can't wait to see that happen...if it does

[monkalicious]

why is caseys shirt knotted in the back oh brother

This reminds me when she tied her "Find Caylee" shirt in the hoochie know.  She's so anxious to be thought sexy.  I think sex was her currency, her power, this is what she used to get what she wanted...guess what, Casey, I don't think gen pop is going to be as impressed with you as you are...

Thank you Sunny..very interesting what your firend had to say and seems to be proving exactly right..talk about breaking up the flow of the trial..Lordy..they are bringing it to a standstill this morning.

NO, she won't walk she will remain in jail and be re-tried.

AGREED!!  No way would the state NOT retry her.....

Old video of Richard & Selma Eikelenboom and Bobo.  Of note is the very end (3:40) of the video where Kathi asks about Florida taxpayers paying to fly them here, and Bobo says several times NO.  Bobo says they are opening a lab in the US.

YW....sure nuff!!

[CasuallyCool]

What did the state do besides the power point?


What happens if the witness isn't there in 30 minutes?

I'd cancel court for the day and charge the defense for all court personnel for the whole day.

Good Morning all.

I think it would be worse if JP sanctioned Bozo during the trial. He is the murderer lead attorney. What is he holds him in contempt and sentences him to jail time what happpens with the trial? If he files a complaint and he loses his license what happens to the trial? I don't think JP is thinking of himself I really think he is trying to get the trial over with. Who wants to do it all over again?

thanks for clearing that up - I was worried too!  (didn't know the answer either)

This is the guy that Jeff says just showed up yesterday at his office and he doesn't even have a report from him?

This just gets more unbelievable as it goes along.  All the way from Finland, yet no written report on his findings and what he will testify too?
