Deputies were worried they'd do something in court that would cause a mistrial. Its one of the prankster shows. Monsters of the am 104.1FM

A local radio show sent their wives to court w/Tshirts that had a pic of HHJP & said "He Da Man" the women were removed. LOL

HHJP treats JA like the OLDER child. You know the one that always gets into trouble and you should know better.

Sit down Mr. Ashton, I am not finish. Mr. Ashton, I apoligize and HHJP says I know?

But how many times has JB interupted HHJP and nothing said to him.

 

[aim]

I assume they are going to talk about possible perjury and obstruction charges and to advice her to take the 5th.

Bingo!! JB already whined that there would be nothing he could do and it wouldn't be fair if CA pleaded the 5th. She'll get what she deserves IMO!!

 

[monique]

I actually agree with HHJBP and I'm glad he is not allowing it. Could have been a huge appeal issue and I don't want any possible legitimate appeals.

 

[Plumeria5]

Or, like I said earlier, what if one or more of the jurors has no sense of smell? Could cause major appellit issues...

Or a sinus infection...:innocent: just say'in...stuff happens.

"Sit down Mr. Ashton, I'm not finished talking." -HHJB

JA " I apologize your honor" When had JB ever said that?

 

[tragco]

OH HHJP just said that particular item of evidence will NOT go back to the jury. He is making SURE they do not smell the can.

 

[liltexans]

The can will not go back to the jury....says Judge Perry. #caseyanthony

Perry: that would violate #caseyanthony's due process rights and 6th Amendment rights. #caseyanthony

Perry: To permit the jury to open the can up, and 1 juror say, "that's it, thats the odor of decomp" would be new evidence. #caseyanthony

Smell test not in!

 

[GiantPickle]

what in the world is ICA writing?

 

[Etiana]

Good job judge.

 

[rose222]

Also, we don't want jurors getting sick, getting agitated and that sort of drama!

 

[sorrell skye]

The smell evidence, IMO, is no different than any of the photographic evidence that has been introduced. The photographic evidence can be interpreted, just as the smell in the cans is subject to interpretation.

Why should the jury take the expert witness's testimony as gospel with regards to the smell?

As far as I'm concerned, it would be the same as bringing in a photographer who testified saying, "I saw this or that..." and "I'm an expert in photography, so trust my eyes" without showing any photographs or not allowing the jury to see any photos.

I admire and respect HHJP, but I disagree with his decision to disallow the smell cans.

 

[marie-chantal]

No on opening the cans for jurors to smell-HHJP

 

[MaraSleuth]

Glad the smell of cans is not being allowed.

 

[JSR]

No smelling. The jurors won't even see the cans in the jury room. A big win for the DT.

 

[NavySubMom]

Good, they don't need the jury to smell that can. The testimony has been very solid re: that. At least 5 people said it smelled like decomp. I would not want this whole trial ruined by a juror smelling that can, and telling other jurors it is decomp. IMO.

 

[jamesdoe]

Can some one tell me how the Judge has court cases so quickly about the situation. Does he know before hand?

I believe he thinks ahead of all possibilities and prepares well. Very diligent.
IMHO

 

[Wholehearted]

Casey looks up as soon as she hears the words "Miss Anthony." She really has no capacity to understand that everything that happens in the whole trial will determine her fate. She only pays attention if she hears her name, or if something catches her eye.

 

[pipkins]

good call JP - I think the jury know that the smell of decomp was there...no need to overplay it
