2011.06.23 TRIAL Day Twenty-six (Afternoon Session)

[bunchy]

The DT has not asked for a mistrial over this.........

They will at the end of the day.

The DT has not asked for a mistrial over this.........

Yet. Give CM til the end of the day

I was just thinking about Stan Strickland. no offense to him or his abilities, but I think that without HHJP's strictness and experience, there would have been a mistrial already.

 

[MissJames]

So are you saying it's ok that JA does? JA knows very well that Defendant has no burden to test anything - that question was to inflame the fury with Inference that they had to or should have.

HH just told the defense that they can't have their witness discredit Dr. Vass unless he produced results that were different.It's the defense that is pushing the issue.

 

[Amster]

This witness is not qualified to testify about Dr. Vass. So, why did HHJP allow it?

Talking in the hallway: #JoseBaez , #cindyanthony and Cindy's attorney, Mark Lippman. Curious.

Isn't that twitter-er the one who writes for People currently writing the article, "Could Casey walk?"

Just curious. And also, have to remind myself daily, that no matter how many countless injustices (injusticees...lol) surround us every single minute of the day that Caylee will have justice.

 

[suzihawk]

Possible mistrial? Someone please explain.

Yes... please and thank you. I just came in and am sooo lost. All I heard is mistrial. <worried>

 

[Steely Dan]

Witness was asked if he is able to replicate Dr. Vass's results, and JA thinks it opened the door for him to ask why he didn't try. DS objects because it shifts the burden of proof to the defense implying that they should have run the tests and she was just trying to point out that the tests were run according to no protocol the witness is aware of and the reports give insufficient information to replicate.

Judge saying that it's a fine line here and let's recess.

The parties quoted caselaw, Overton and Hayes I think.

Thank you. If you don't mind I'm going to put your post in the "What did we learn today thread"

I will cry if a mistrial goes down. Especially if the SA's fault.

But thats just it!! I think if a mistrial happens now it would be the DT's fault for opening the door!! if i understand correctly!!

 

[tehcloser]

They will at the end of the day.

More than likely........but they haven't at this point. This is all the Judge. He knows exactly how close this is.

yet.

IMO

 

[faefrost]

Shouldnt there be consequences for lawyers who constanly try to get a mistrial by messing up on purpose? Why are they allowed to do this?

I suspect that after today it may not just be JB who has to break out the checkbook once the trial is over. HHJP was specifically dressing down DS for ignoring his order concerning Dr. Logan. I think the patern of such behaviors has become so pervasive by the defense that he will drop the hammer on all of them.

 

[ohiogirl]

I thought double jeopardy only applied when someone had actually been aquitted....that they could never ever be tried again for that same crime. No?

In case this hasn't been aswered, double jeopardy could apply if the SA causes the mistrial. JA got a little over zealous, imo. Let's see of His Honor can save it.

Jose is getting paid by Florida tax payers...make no mistake

remember when he told Judge Perry that he (JB) was getting slave wages.

 

[azscr4mbl3r]

I think HHJP is just making double ..triple.. certain he is ruling correctly either way.. JA already said he would withdraw the question.. I think he is more defending Dr. V's honor than anything else.........

ALSO......He hates&#65279; these&#65279; cans...stay away from the cans!

 

[Miss Anarchy]

It always amazes me how quickly the Judge can come up with other case references off the top of his head hehe

ITA! This is why he is the Chief Justice for the District.

 

[ami]

I dont' care- rule against the state- just keep the trial moving without mistrial and let's all move on from this.

 

[adb263]

according to tweets CSI Jenny welch in hallway again....bless her heart!!
