The more I think about it....and after reading Richard Hornsby's remark...
I'm not so sure that CM didn't shoot down Baez today, too. I mean like...
Judge Strickland may initiate enough Bar complaints that he won't be able to appear before him again. Ever.
Me thinks CM was armed with a double-barrell shotgun and a couple of knives.
The winner in today's developments is the prosecution.
Judge Perry is a former prosecutor who is a no-nonsense, law and order, black letter law judge. Unless the legal issue is well settled in the defense's favor he will never rule for them; whereas Judge Strickland would be more apt to give an expansive view of the law.
More importantly, Judge Perry is the legislative liaison for the ninth circuit. So you can assure yourself that that the purse strings for the defense budgeting conference will be pulled tight.
