I wish I would have seen that. I just find it odd that attorneys for the biggest news organization in the state would not cite to some sort of authority that definitively says they must be published - instead sourcing the Florida Supreme Court that states names should be published in general.

I am not so sure the law is so settled. If you read the motion - unless I completely missed it - there is no cite to a Florida statute stating the names must be released. There is a cite to a supreme court case where the conclusion drawn is that juror information generally should not be kept...

I know it is academic and even pedantic - but the jury did not say that Casey did not drop Caylee in the swamp, or even murder Caylee. Nonetheless it is an important point that people seem to ignore.

Almost 100% sure they would not be under any legal obligation. Anyone can look up the Florida rules for lawyers using google.

Justice was served. Justice is the process, not a result. Each side had their say, and a jury both sides agreed to (under the rules) decided that the state did not meet their burden of proof. Not perfect, but I will take it over any other system I am aware.

I am not trying to pick on you, its just that I have seen and heard this quite a lot today and it makes little sense to me. The jury is not concerned with this issue. They were charged with determining whether the prosecution proved that the defendant murdered her daughter beyond a reasonable...

They deserve it. Especially with all the criticsm Baez received.

my bad - you are right. a joint credit card could do it.

Can the paycheck of one spouse be garnished for the debts of another spouse in Florida? That does not seem right.

Assuming the Florida death penalty statute is unconstitutional, what is the basis for mistrial? That the jury is a death-panel qualified jury? That doesn't seem like a very strong argument for a mistrial.

What do you mean by her work records? If they had evidence beyond her timesheets that Cindy was at work, wouldn;t they have brought that out during their cross? Apparently Cindy testified the same way today as she did in her deposition. Did the State just forget that? Or am I missing...

I am confused. Did she repeat the same testimony today as she did in her deposition? If so, why did the State's attorney seemingly freak out? If not, why didn't the State's Attorney bring out the inconsistencies with her deposition testimony?

Wouldn't you imagine the State would have already tried to check Cindy's work records given that she testified that searched for the words during her deposition? If they have not checked, I wonder why.

Its clear that a person - at least in some circumstances - can waive their right to counsel. But can a person waive their right to effective counsel? To me it seems impossible to waive such a right. Because if the trial judge gives an accused such a talk and the accused says he loves his...

I think the medical examiner testiomny as to how she determined maner of death will stick with the jurors. This technical, CSI-stuff has its place, but its importance was lessened to some extent by JB's opening statement as to accidental drowning. And more importantly the jury is just like...

Because of work I was not able to watch all of the prosecution's case, so forgive me if my problem was clearly answered - but if I am on the jury I am thinking - "why" Why did she kill her baby. I mean everything seems to indicate she did it - but I still cannot get past the question of...

A criminal lawyer, on either side, does not care about the truth - they care about the evidence.

I agree. And how do we know if Mr. Baez was texting? The mere fact that the prosecution said he was?

I did not think the witness was "tore up" - though the prosecutor did do a good job. But I think the defense got what they needed out of the guy. Although it was clear they wanted much more.
