I have to give the Judge an F! He has been to easy from the beginning, allowing informal dress, gum chewing, outbursts, and many more things against court room rules. Those rules should have been upheld from the start, not just during the trial. The other problem I have with this Judge is; when one of the lawyer asked if they were going to have lunches catered, the Judge stated that he worked for so, and so. He than had to be sure to state with an ugly look on his face, that they had to take a 3% cut in pay (boohoo). Than this Judge goes on to ask each potential juror, IF THEY HAVE VACATION TIME they can use to serve on this jury. Really Judge, you make a huge salery, have a problem with taking a pay cut, but expect the average person who is barely making it in these times, to use all their vacation time for Casey Anthony. This Judge deserves an F just for his attitude towards those beneath him. JMO
I disagree completely.
First, the DT jokingly asked him to buy lunch, and he jokingly said no, and mentioned the paycut. It would be improper for him to go to lunch with them. I did not see anything serious there at all. They were all joking.
He was also VERY concerned about people going into their savings, or any other hardship. Yes, there were people WILLING to use vacation (to get on the jury IMO), and he DID NOT want them to do that.
As for the rules, it is different when there is no jury present. Once there is a jury in that court room, everything will change.
I have NEVER had the impression that Judge Perry thinks he is above anyone. In fact, quite the opposite. I got the impression that he genuinely likes dealing with the public. :twocents:
