Thanks for your help! The only remaining problems I have relate to the cfnews links. Please see the link quoted in this post and AZLawyer's response. I've noticed others indicating they can't open the motions hosted on cfnews. Since it worked for you, I'm assuming it has something to do...

I agree! I predicted this outcome incorrectly too. Then I saw that RHornsby predicted Strickand would grant the motion, so I changed my mind. In the Verified Lawyer's Thread, I asked RH to explain which facts within the motion might have taken it over the edge etc., because I'm still a bit...

Do we know Derkovic has passed a polygraph regarding her claims about conversations with Casey? The Sheriff's Supplemental Report does make mention of Derkovic being polygraphed and passing, but that polygraph was given to as part of the plea agreement in her own criminal case. Is there...

I think the problem is actually with linking to documents hosted on hte cfnews.com site. In retrospect, I think all the links I was trying to click/post yesterday may have been related to motions posted exclusively on their site. Here's an example post: Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community -...

I didn't answer your first question-- sorry. A judge can decide not to accept a plea agreement. FL Rule 3.171 governs plea negotiations and agreements. Per 3.171, a judge can refuse to agree to the plea negotiated and agreed upon by the parties. For the purposes of understanding the rule...

In Florida, the jury gives a recommendation in the penalty phase and the judge has the final say. To answer your question, a jury can recommend death and the judge can ultimately sentence her to life in prison.

Thanks for responding-- I guess I'm looking for more clarity. To me, the allegations (viewed as facts) do not form a reasonable basis for the fear one wouldn't receive a fair and impartial trial. Could you give a hypothetical example of allegations which would not be legally sufficient? ETA...

On WESH you predicted Judge Strickland would grant the defense motion and step down-- could you perhaps briefly explain why you thought Strickland would step down? Were you totally sure or just pretty convinced?

Is that the original thread about all the calls that is now closed? I don't know how this is all being organized but I thought I'd share that Robyn Adams bursts into song and does a unique rendition of Lean On Me on (Disc-4/140567287561231). Sorry if this has already been brought to the...

Thanks for letting me know! I randomly dove into the calls on Robyn Adams disc 4 and she's in high spirits and joking. So I think I'll stay on this disc :)

Question for anyone who has listened to the Adams, Benhaida, and Derkovic jail calls: Are there a few (or several) calls you'd recommend listening to? Are any more interesting/informative than others? If so, which? Thanks!

I wasn't sure where to direct this, so I posted here. Today I've noticed a problem within the Caylee Anthony forum wherein every link I've clicked or tried to post has been broken.

Thanks for confirming. I'll report the problem.

Looks very interesting-- however, the link won't work:snooty: I think there's something wrong with the hyperlinking function on the boards today, because every time I've tried to click a link or post one, it's failed. Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just me?

You crack me up. :) I don't have the energy to read the Marinade Dave's blog, so I appreciate your snarky summary.

The existing rulings stand unless and until the defense files a motion for reconsideration. Upon a motion for reconsideration, the new judge can reconsider and issue new rulings on issues already settled by Judge Strickland. The parties have to file motions for reconsideration within 20 days of...

Exactly! That's what my first impression was, anyway.

I have no idea. This was a bad move, IMO. The only explanation I can think of is that Casey Anthony's myriad personality disorders are contagious and she has infected the entire legal team. Seriously.

I think the 10 days began to toll after the facts were discovered in the defense interview with MD. I think the motion meets the 10 day requirement.

Thanks! And I agree it's a problem! I'm reposting this explanation of the truth/falsity issue too because I think it might help illuminate things. Like you are all flushing out here, it doesn't matter if the defense's allegations are actually false. JS has to look at them as if they are true...
