I personally don't find this motion to be that unusual giving the defenses past motions and strategy. They failed to provide evidence showing Casey's innocents as ordered by the court but they have managed to dig up dirt on every player in this case no matter its relevance, or accuracy. The motion itself as with every motion supplied by the defense has flaws like the notary date and such.
I don't think it's any secret that I tend to side more with the prosecution side on this case. I've even made the comment that in this case I would not make a good juror do to the fact that after following this case I could never be impartial even if I felt I could logically weigh only the evidence presented.
After reading through alot of this thread. I admit I skipped around alot because I didn't want to participate in some of the more personal debates on this thread. However after looking at things I would agree that possibly the best thing in this case would be for JS to step down.
I agree he has been more then fair to the defense in this case. He has also been very neutral and has sided on the appropriate side of the law and tried to protect Ms. Anthony's rights during this case. I also feel that JS has done a wonderful job in making sure there are no appellate issues in this case thus far.
However this situation with MD is some what unusual and I feel that JS may have put himself in a tight spot. It does not matter what his relationship or conversation with MD was about or even if there was or wasn't a relationship or contact. The point is there is a speculation that there is one and under Florida's guidelines and such I think the best thing for JS to do is to take a step back from this case which is sad because I feel he is still a magnificent judge and one that could continue to rule over this case and come down on the side of law and not base his decisions on any perceived bias or media attention as the defense so claims.
I do think that this does show the amount of desperation in the defenses case though. They are taking a huge....and I mean huge gamble on this motion. This is all part of the defense trying to stall this case. In my opinion the defense wouldn't be doing this if they felt they had a strong case for Casey. The defense in my opinion is making this huge gamble in the hopes that they will have a judge that they can more easily manipulate, doesn't have prior experience working with JB, one that will make appellate mistakes, or the trifecta a judge that is all 3....then again they could get a true "hanging judge" and the defense would be up a creek imho.
As to the judges comments about Ms. Anthony and the truth. That comment needs to remain in the context of JS explaining his ruling at that particular hearing. Judges when making a ruling often give cometary as to why they made that ruling. There is one judge in our district here that gives advice and commentary to the offender after everyone of his rulings most of it positive but some of it basically telling them how much of a screw up they are and that they are a burden to society as a whole. It's actually fairly common practice.
