Actually look at OJ and Phil Spector and I am sure many will say we mess around quite a bit. We rarely actually carry out the DP even though people are convicted of it. waste of our taxpayer $$.The west coast doesn't mess around! :highfive:

Maybe this is a stupid question, but there is SO much information here on this case that there's no way I could wade through it and see:
Has a start date, even a tentative one, been set for this trial yet?
This just seems to be dragging on forever.....
I am leaning towards localgirl's take for a couple reasons. The dough is running out, make no mistake. They should of paced themselves or got a firm that has been down that road. Don't get me wrong, I really want to see a trial. I think just before she hit's the end of the metaphorical hallway, she is going to turn around. That being said, the DA really does have all they need for a conviction. This is not to start a debate, just an opinion from someone who has done time and listened to every tale that came down the line. So, they can say "YOU wanted to rumble. Let's go!" Thanks for the thread, it made me think about things I had let slip from the 'up front' memory :borgsmile:.
Your input is soooo interesting - thanks for that. I too would prefer to see a trial with all the drama and to watch the SA really hammer home to Casey and her family what a terrible crime this is.
But I do think Baez knows how to save his butt, and Andrea is simply here for the "win". She doesn't get good press in Orlando and I believe she wants out of there as soon as she can get it done.
If it means a plea - then I think that's what will be done.
Hmm, I just happened to check the court calendar through June and nothing. The docket has been updated to include affidavits of attorney fees though.
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A trial date was set Monday in the case against Casey Anthony. In an order signed by Judge Stan Strickland, Casey’s trial has been set for May 9, 2011.
