Could it be possible that Judge Perry is getting ready to pull a "fast one" on the group?
Even though the change of venue/jury selection has been granted, could it be a possibility that he will try to "seat the jury" from Orlando to begin with??
No one in the Orlando area that gets summons for that time period would expect their call to duty would actually be for this case, all of the attorneys could be there within the hour time frame that Judge Perry told them again today, and as far as hotel rooms being under $50, they all would be able to stay at home.
IF the jury can't be agreed upon, THEN, take it someplace that he has already done his research on??
Thoughts???
I think that is a very big possibility. In fact....did he not state today that they were doing it a bit backwards?
Either that...or the secret location is very close to Orlando and either way...there wouldn't be a disruption if they had to change locations.
Additionally, I wondered about the possibility that jurors would be brought to Orlando for jury selection from outside.
The very fact the JB asked about how the jury summons would be delivered and then asked whether there would be any indication on the summons that the juror would have to plan to be sequestered 2 months.....makes me think that JB planned to make some calls to see if any jury notices with odd instructions had been mailed...OR to inquire about certified jury summons.
A while back the st. of Fl used to send out jury notices via cert mail....it became cost prohibitive so they started using regular first class mail and sending them to larger pools.
HHJP is very clever and quite the little planner.
