Read what JAB filed; wouldn't call it a motion. Revising my opinion to say that if a COV is granted, it will be in spite of this pleading, not because of it. As for the 5 month old affidavit, without even getting to the merits, just the fact that it's five long months old makes it ridiculous. What have they done to you lately, KC? rofl
I lean more toward denial of the motion, after having read it. All, literally ALL of the basis for relief was self-generated. None of the media outlets would have been posting the discovery and our wonderful Muzikman wouldn't have been traipsing, er, I mean manly striding to the courthouse to pay for copies
with funds much better used on Captain Morgan or Margaritas, as this is Cinco De Mayo but for the antics of the team KC and the defense team's collective and constant jockeying for position in front of cameras and microphones. Hard call to make, who wants the spotlight more; the defense attorneys or CA.
There was nothing presented, imo, to show the local news coverage and web coverage of this case tainted OC more than any other county. In fact, the opposite appears to have been shown.
My bet: The Honorable Judge Strickland will attempt to empanel a jury in OC. Failing that, a COV would be necessary. If a COV is granted, it will only be because of the cameras watching, you know, the ones the A's and the defense team keep begging for coverage, and not because of anything JAB presented in his filing or will argue at the hearing.
KC's five month old opinions/observations are useful only to bolster my point that those who live in Florida understand their right to protest. Lack of same indicates to me that most in Florida are at least content with the Sunshine Laws. Those that live here should control what our laws consist of, not those from other areas with an axe to grind or in search of 15 more minutes.
Sorry for the tone of this post, gentle readers. JAB, imo, is an embarrassment to the bar and the entire state. That annoys me.
