Don't have the actual motion yet but look what was just added to the clerk's site:
03/24/2011 Motion for Rehearing on Orders Denying Motions to Suppress
Thoughts?
Sounds like the defense team wants a "do-over" on some or all of HHJP's orders regarding the statements made by Casey. IMO they'd better have a dang good reason or risk incurring HHJP's wrath for constantly wasting his time asking for everything twice.
Would the defense ever be provided transcripts of witness testimony from the grand jury?
This morning, Baez was questioning K9 handler Forgey about his statements made during his grand jury appearance. I thought that grand jury proceedings were secret and that the defense was not included at the proceedings nor were the transcripts available to them unless a transcript was first ordered by the prosecution, as we saw LDB ask for George's testimony.
I don't recall if the prosecution asked the court for any other grand jury transcripts, if I did, oops!
Otherwise, I'd like to know how Baez knew what K9 handler Forgey said during the grand jury proceedings.

Baez and grand jury question, first 3 minutes
I didn't get to watch the hearing, just read the thread, but did JB seem to actually KNOW what the GJ testimony was, or was he trying to get Forgey to TELL him what it was?:waitasec: Normally, I don't think the defense would see the GJ transcripts.
Hi lawyers! :seeya:
What do you think of the defense team's decision to occupy KC with "busy work" during these hearings? Do you think they will do the same at trial--and how might that play with the jury? (Hm, accidentally typed "fury" first--it's certainly having that effect on me, at least...)
And on a related note--can the prosecution refer to the defendant's courtroom demeanor during closing arguments, or not? I Googled, but came up with a lot of seemingly-contradictory articles and cases.
:tyou: for all you do for us!
I'm sure the defense team would prefer that Casey act the part of Innocent Mother at trial. But apparently she's incapable of it, so they have decided that Paralegal Barbie is better than Cold-Blooded Murderess.
The prosecutor cannot refer to the defendant's courtroom demeanor during closing arguments, but believe me, the jury doesn't need to be told to look at how the defendant is reacting.
