Great article, I learned a lot about His Honor....
(note to self: move butcher knives out of sight)
I know - that was incredibly tragic. Though I do believe the accident made him a much stronger person.
And I never noticed the eye myself, just the leg (which seems to hop only when Jose is being...well...Jose).
MOO

This is a must read. Brad Kuhn has revealed so much about HHJP's life that it makes me wonder about HHJP's level of cooperation with this article. Not that I think anything is bad or disturbing but that I'm surprised that HHJP would be quite so "open" about so many private things. I am so pleased, though, to know that we don't have a judge sitting over this case who thinks he is almost as perfect as God.
I, as other posters here, have been worried about his eye drooping. It seems to happen more often during stressful times in the court proceedings so I was grateful to read the following and understand the cause.
Now I won't have to keep praying that he won't have a stroke or something during the trial! God bless him.
Thnaks for pointing that out...I to worried about the stroke factor....I also started watching to see if both eyes blinked at the same time....
On the morning of March 30, 1998, Perry and his chief investigator drove to Florida State Prison in Starke. Perry had visited Death Row before, and hed even seen the old oak electric chair, fashioned by inmates in 1923. But this would be the first time hed ever seen someone executed.
All I can remember is that we were packed like sardines in the witness room, Perry says as he recalls the day, during an interview in his office. I was seated in the front row with the official witnesses.
As he speaks, Perry is not drumming the table. His leg is not jogging. His good eye is staring off into the middle distance.
When she came through the door, her head was completely shaved, which is a shock in itself because you are used to seeing a woman with all of her hair. There were two guards on either side of her, and I noticed they were dragging her in. You could tell she was terrified. She kept her eyes closed the entire time.
They ushered Buenoano to the chair and began to methodically strap her in. One of the straps broke, and was immediately replaced. She was the first woman ever to sit in that chair. The warden read the warrant and checked for any last-minute reprieve.
You hear the generator rev up, and then that first shot of electricity, Perry says. At that first jolt, the body jumps and you see the steam coming out of her head and off of her ankles. Theres a second jolt, and then a doctor goes over and listens to make sure shes deceased. And then theres that lifeless body there. . . .
I thought a lot on the way home about what she had donehow she had murdered her husband, murdered her own son, murdered her common-law husband, and tried to murder her fiancé, not once, but twice .You just wonder what makes people do such horrible things to other people.
When asked about his goals for the Anthony case, Perry says only that theyre the same as for any trial: Ensure the defendant gets a fair trial, watch the budget and avoid making any glaring errors. He is quick to add that one life has already been lost, and another is on
the line.
As for the rest of his thoughts on the case, they are his alone.
