Caylee Marie Anthony- MURDER TRIAL/JURY SELECTION - DAY 4 - 5/12/11

[ZooMomology]

Found this, probably old or does not apply to this case, but it does say he can limit time.


The 2nd DCA held in Roberts v. State, 937 So. 2d 781 (Fla 2nd DCA 2006), that while the trial court has discretion to limit the amount of time for voir dire, if the trial court is going to do so, it must give the parties “reasonable notice” of the time constraints. In this case, the court had not told either party that there was any time limit on voir dire before the questioning started, and thus the imposition of a ten minute time limit in the midst of voir dire was reversible error.

Someone please refresh my memory....

Didn't we hear yesterday from George attorney that he did not molest her, and that if the defense goes that route, they will sue? How will George go along with the defense if they plan on suing for being called a molester.

Any answer is greatly appreciated TIA JSM  

Yes JSM, I heard him say that on NG.

Could be just blabbing and idle threats. You can't sue if it is the truth and WHO would he sue? Even if it is a lie how would he prove it? He has done everything to set this up with his actions. His past history with women, his "secret" phones with KC, and them hiding so much from Cindy would all look incriminating,  not to mention the lies he has told to try to cover this up.

Thanks Turbo, sounds more like an idle threat to me.

So if the judge would have imposed limits before they started  questioning this first guy it would be ok.. It appears now that he cannot impose time limits.

Specialist married to death row inmate joins Casey Anthony's defense
Rosalie Bolin is well-known in Tampa area.
By Amy Pavuk, Orlando Sentinel
12:11 p.m. EDT, May 12, 2011
Jose Baez just can't seem to stay away from controversy.
In the nearly three years he's represented Casey Anthony — whose case has enough drama of its own — Baez has been linked to a "spokesman" who tried to extort a journalist, and was working with lawyer Todd Macaluso until he got in trouble with the California Bar last year.
Now, Baez is working with a woman who's married to a killer sitting on Florida's death row.
The latest revelation came during jury selection this week, when mitigation specialist Rosalie Bolin appeared at the defense table with Anthony. As a mitigation specialist, her job is to find information about Casey Anthony's life that could help the defense in the event she's found guilty.

It sure took them long enough to catch up to us with this info.  Geeesh!

Yup.

That's old news to us Monkeys.

Well what if, with the new potential juror, he gives them a limit?

I don't know the answer.  I do now know why everyone and their dog has retained attorneys after hearing Finnel list off mitigating circumstances in the case.  We are assuming it is George they are going to pin the sexual abuse on, I have always wondered if they were going to add a different target like a family friend, extended family or long time boyfriend.

Mark Lippman seemed to dance around that question a bit.   He stated that they would sue, but who?   He also stated that the defense team is entitled to present Casey's defense.   The only one damaging George Anthony is his daughter by her jail letters & whatever she has uttered otherwise...maybe he should reflect on that!

From what we have seen, Casey only said she "thinks" George "may" have abused her too. She said that she woke up and discovered Lee fondling her breasts.  Unless she has suddenly remembered George sexually abusing her, I think George will be used for all other aspects, but not sexual abuse. Unless he exposed her to internet porn or something like that.  jmoo

I think the Judge needs to do the questions and then give both side 30 minutes to add any other questions they see fit. Then move on to the nest one.

Beth K. on InSession just said judge can not put time limit on questioning jurors.....against the law in FL. Something about reversible error

[tupelohoney]

The killer and the killer lover seem kerfunkled!

never mind, the last sentence explains it better, if this is even current law.  and thus the imposition of a ten minute time limit in the midst of voir dire was reversible error.

40 minutes is up.  Let's go!!!!

The pony tail is back.  And her sweater.

Why does she have to change her hair at lunch every day?

If it was in a bun during the morning, it is in a pony tail after lunch. And vice versa.

Just another display of the many faces of Casey Anthony.  Chameleon at work.

[Northern Rose]

Does the defense not have to file something with the court to allow Tupperware lady to be sitting at their table fawning over KC?

[Northern Rose]

Why are they showing the face of this lady???

[Brandi]

The killer and the killer lover seem kerfunkled!

[tupelohoney]

Who is this woman?

[CasuallyCool]

I think the tupperwae lady is telling ICA, "Look, I married a murderer while he was in jail, someone will marry you too."
