I thought anyone could get the transcripts, not just the press? Obviously they are costly though :/

Thanks but it didn't take me long just to d/l it :). I am actually impressed that I haven't got bored and given up it yet though.. thats what I usually do :/

Yes but when you are on trial for Capital Murder, most people would be scared and want to feel some degree of control over their own fate and the discussions going on.

Hrmm... book available on Amazon UK Kindle for £6.49. To buy or not to buy? - Not really a Kindle fan - BUT UK book not out til start of Dec - US book can be delivered to UK but will take a while or incur hefty express shipping charges Decisions, decisions...

No the order of events, I understand. It is just from what you posted earlier, it made it seem as though the DT, Pros and JP were actually discussing whether she should take the plea deal (i.e. during that bench conference and chambers conference after CM approached JP w/o the C/Reporter)...

TBH, you are prob correct about her, in the most part. BUT: I would be bitter if my life was on the line and my lawyers decided to talk about my pleading guilty with the judge and prosecution away from me and I was not even allowed to be there, as if it was being hidden from me or if I wasn't...

"why would he ask an innocent person to take a plea." - I know this may not be entirely proper - but if the DT thinks it is the best of 2 grim choices. As to the rest of your post, I would be very interested to have see a book by someone reasonably independant from within the DT (i.e. not JB...

I had the feeling that the defense were not doing well (albeit we never got to see the jury reaction as the trial progressed) and that the very best she could hope for was Aggravated Manslaughter of a Child. If CM was of a similar view then that would explain why he thought 30 years was good...

I watched one of JA's interviews and when he said that "that's in the book" I thought Damn I have to buy it (even although I am terrible for not finishing books) I was so sure that was why the competency issue was raised (the second being that Casey wanted to testify). I think 30 was too...

Seems like there are a lot of pre-orders as well. I wasn't aware so many people in the UK were following it.

I know she shares office space but I am not sure if she is employed by him. Mason is about to retire. Seems an odd point to start taking on more staff.

Correct. As did Sims, Fryer (as I understand) and Finnell. Slabaugh and Medina were employed by Baez's firm.

Still cheap for an overall defense package in a case such as this. Anyone who can afford to pay for a lawyer or get one to agree to represent them for free, can be represented by that lawyer. In this case, Casey Anthony did both. ABC paid her $200K for licensing pictures and video of Caylee...

That's not correct. The charges she was convicted of are: 1.) Count Four: The defendant told law enforcement that she was employed at Universal Studios during 2008, pursuant to the investigation of a missing persons report. That took LE all of a few hours to debunk. 2.) Count Five: The...
