Oops, hope the judge meant May 31st and not March of next year!

I think he did mean March 31, 2011.

I could be wrong though.

The judge deferred decision on the photos......

I think they give BoBo the arguments they know they'll loose anyway........

Shoot I missed that part - so does this mean he isn't going to rule on the photos today??   

[akmom]

Judge wants a narrow focus on here say.  Jar wanted the State to be schooled on here say.  I think they already have that under control.  The state isn't likely to call, hmmmm, say Joy Wray or somethin' like somebody else might...

[Ono]

Linda is so intelligent ... what a pleasure to hear her arguments.

The defense and prosecution will exchange photos and then the judge will decide. I don't think it will be today. I think that's right.......... feel free anyone, to correct me; I'm at work and miss a little!

Vinny Politan must be watching a different hearing or I need to get my ears checked. He just said the judge is gonna grant a change of venue.. what??

That is why I'm confused I thought he said that also, change of venue.

Motion denied to dismiss the indictment!

[akmom]

[Brandi]

Then why did the judge talk about busing jurors in and taking care to keep protestors away?

I'm just not sure on this, there would be no reason to bus jurors if the trial would be in another county.

Baez wants CVs for FBI Secret Service etc  BS what is necessary about that

 Perry Will Grant Change Of Venue
Monday, May 10, 2010 9:55:54 AM
ORLANDO -- Chief Judge Belivin Perry said he will grant the change of venue motion at the appropriate time.

Updates from the courtroom:

9:50 a.m. - Perry will defer a decision on the photos until no later than March 31, 2011.

9:39 a.m. -- Perry moves on to the motion to exclude Casey's party photos from case.

9:34 a.m. -- Judge Perry says he will grant the change of venue motion at the appropriate time.

9:28 a.m. -- George and Cindy Anthony arrive at the courtroom.

9:20 a.m. -- Defense plays compilation of media reports showing how he says the media has unfairly showcased his client.

9:17 a.m. -- Judge Perry said he'll most likely grant a change of venue. Once the judge picks a location, he will tell the attorneys and then place a gag order on them.

Several counties will be considered, and comments from the defense and state will be taken when selecting a site.

Perry said the jury will be sequestered, brought back to Orange County and kept an undisclosed location. They will then be transportated back and forth to whatever county they reside in to spend the night.

After the attorneys are notified about the change, a gag order will be issued.

Defense Attorney Jose Baez wants to send the case to South Florida – in either Miami-Dade or Broward counties.

He said there's been far too much publicity surrounding the case and that it'd be hard to find a jury that hasn't already heard about Anthony, much less developed their own opinion about her.

That would mean moving some 200 witnesses, a judge and court personnel and dozens of investigators for possibly a month.

Legal experts said that could cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Perry has already said it'd be cheaper to hold it here and bring in potential jurors from outside the county.

They would then be sequestered, which legal analyst Richard Hornsby said would hurt the defense.

"Once you start telling people that you are going to have to live in a hotel for three months, people who might want to be on your trial and be more defense friendly will say ‘I can't put my life on hold,'" Hornsby said.

Defense attorneys believe the story has gotten considerably less air time in South Florida.
Perry will also look at other motions this week, like defense objections to the death penalty, which Anthony faces after being charged with killing her daughter.

Her trial is still set for May 9, 2011.

Then why did the judge talk about busing jurors in and taking care to keep protestors away?

Casey Anthony's attorneys do not think their client can receive a fair trial in Central Florida. Her case has attracted intense media coverage since her initial arrest in July 2008.

"The Orlando community's involvement in this case and its hostility towards Miss Anthony create an environment in which it would be difficult for a juror to render a verdict based solely on the evidence presented at trial," Baez wrote in a motion filed in September.

Perry earlier told the attorneys if he grants the change of venue that he and the lawyers will travel to another Florida county to pick a 12-member jury plus alternates.

The jury will leave their families and come to Orange County where the trial, which is expected to last four to seven weeks, will be held.

Perry said today he will grant the motion at a later date and will be issuing a gag order so the attorneys cannot discuss the matter publicly.
