2010.04.19 Judge Strickland IS stepping down

[Nore]

Schaeffer has some interesting comments on WFTV regarding Judge Strickland stepping down, Judge Bevin taking over, what kind of a Judge he has seen him be, and some comments on the new motions.

Runs a tighter timeline, indeed!


PS: I know we've been extremely busy the last three days but hasn't anyone noticed I passed 1000 posts?

Logicalgirl, I passed one and two a long time ago ~ no one noticed either!:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::laughitup:

Hornsby called it- that it would be Perry. If Hornsby guessed, what are the chances that the defence team didn't know. And if they did know that Judge Perry was up next, then there is indeed method to their madness.

Of course they knew, imo. The defense had their sites on Judge Perry. Why?????

 

[Bittiness39]

Defense filed more motions today regarding taking DP off the table. Perhaps this was the motivation to remove the judge, to have some motions reheard? Reported on the OS article. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news...nthony-motion-20100419,0,6017904.story?page=4
According to the article they seek a private hearing with the judge also.
"The defense team asks the court to set a hearing date as well as a private hearing with a judge, where the court "may hear additional evidence from the defense" in support of their motion."
Motions have not been filed yet on the docket or released to media as far as I know.

I don't know if this has been mentioned: but it is moo that the defense wanted Strickland removed to get all of those TES records they believe will somehow prove KC is innocent.

I have to say, Judge Strickland, is a fair and honest Judge. He deserves better than to have to recuse himself for the likes of KC. A man who has worked hard his entire life has to recuse himself for KC, an individual, unworthy of respect and unlikely to EVER be anything than a fly in God's ointment. It truly disgusts me that any of this has to even take place.

Sorry, Strickland, you deserved better--a lot better. Feel free to visit here any time.

If I was Jose I would sure be planning on moving my practice out of Orlando after this case is over. Every judge in Florida knows who these attorneys are and won't forget what they did. Cheney doesn't care - he's planning on retiring. And the rest of KC's "crew" is already practicing elsewhere. JMO.

 

[Horace Finklestein]

And what in the HELL makes them think Judge Perry is going to be favorable about this motion and grant them a private hearing?!?!?!?

Nevermind. Go on and look more stupid and inept defense. It's all you know how to do.

It's going to be a glorious day when they run out of gimmicks, tactics, accusations, schemes and actually have to practice law. I hope the new judge does put an end to this nonsense!

Why a private meeting?

I'm thinking it is about the JAC, indigency $$$$ they can expect to have approved and at their disposal. $$$$ first, ykwim?


I was serious in my response, but can ya tell i am feeling a tad cynical this afternoon?

 

[faefrost]

oooooooooo that would be a tough motion to write:

"Your Honor, we are concerned that you might be prejudiced against racists, because, um, well, you're black. And our client is a racist, as evidenced by her attached writings..."

Thankfully this is one of those situations where this trick has been tried many times in the past. As a result No court in the land will use or allow the race of either the judge or the defendant, or percieved "racist" claims to be used as a reason to recuse a judge. You simply cannot in this land say "But the judge is black and I am a white ("racist") defendant! I can't get a fair trial!" and get away with it. Defense just blew their 1 chance at swapping judges. And I really think it's going to hurt them.

Does anyone else think that AL is sh@ting a br@ck about now? I mean the new judge has tried DP cases, and has that above linked decision finding the convicted murderer to not be mentally retarded and ok for execution. They's found themselves a hangin' judge is what they's gone and done.

I am betting that the first thing the new judge does is rather firmly indicate that he has reviewed the prior motions and decisions by JS, and sees no reason to re argue or re address any of them at this time.

I am also betting that JB will be lucky to survive 2 or 3 hearings in front of this judge before he gets bounced for competant council.

CONGRATS girl! :blowkiss:


Shoot, I think I tripled my post count just over the weekend. lmao

Why a private meeting?

This isn't the first time they have requested a private meeting, it's just what they do IMO.

 

[magnolia]

Are you sure Sleuther? I'm not reading it like that, it sounds like a southern put down but I wouldn't have a clue.

I have a feeling CM knows exactly what it means. IMO

 

[Brattigirle]

The rainbow got me. Why am I on the verge of tears over this? Am I a loser or what?:loser:

I am right with you, I pray for Caylee this all works out for the best.

Judge Stan Strickland is out, chief judge Belvin Perry is in.

I heard this guy is a bit tougher. (Better watch out JB) I'll miss JS...but I remind myself that this is about getting justice for Caylee. It doesn't change the facts of the case. Though I hate to see those d*mmies get at a judge (stupid law IMO)...Casey's not going anywhere for a very long time. Caylee will also be strongly represented in that court room.

This is the question that I would like answered by one of our brilliant minds. I am sad to see JS go but I am more concerned why the defense wants this judge. If Mr. Hornsby called it, Mr. Mason knew as well. They didn't just do this because it was "fun".:banghead:

You took the words right out of my mouth...I don't think there will be any reversals.

 

[Dear Prudence]

Researchers have found that when women defy traditional gender stereotypes, and commit ‘men-type' crimes, there are punished more severely than comparable male offenders," Lyons argued.

Per a new motion today.

*respectfully snipped by me

This motion has no chance because the bolded above is so not true. There are two crimes that women commit just as often as men: shoplifting and filicide. Women who commit filicide are punished less severely than their male counterparts. Here's a great blog on it: http://www.slate.com/id/2063086/ Also we have a whole thread about filicide here, check it out if you have time: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72869&highlight=filicide&page=3

Judge Perry has presided over many, many high-profile cases and many, many death penalty cases. I hate to lose Judge Strickland but I think Perry is not going to waste any time in denying these motions and getting on with the important business of this case.

Because the divide & conquer elements in the USA ,figure if you've got nothing left to lose ,stoop to racism ,name calling , kicks in the groin . They will win by down & dirty....... Sur:crocrise!!! it ain't so:loser:

 

[MD MOMMY]

What would totally crack me up is if JS showed up at the first hearing sitting on the prosecution side..OMG how funny would that be?

 

[Intermezzo]

Oh lordy...on JVM they are now talking about how KC might now ask for a new defense attorney. How long can KC and/or her defense drag this out?

Justice for Caylee soon!

I don't know how long Casey et al can drag this out but as Macushla says in a post 214..Casey will still be in jail..

 

[Reality Orlando]

"It is the Courts most fervent hope that this promise was truthful, given the nature of our current budget.

On the other hand, the Court fears that this statement may have been merely the product of an active imagination and tight boots"

Active imagination = Baez Tight Boots = Andrea Lyons


????????

I'm pretty sure it is a reference to CM as he's refering here to the statement about working for oranges, right?

I also think CM's comment "Trust me" may have been in reference to this:
Attorneys You Can Trust, Six of Orlando's Legal Legends. Orlando Magazine, 1997 Apparently CM is featured in this article.

 

[The World According]

Wow, I just got off a plane and fired up my laptop to this! It is not a surprise. Too, too funny that Judge Strickland went out with a bang telling off the defense in such a public lashing.

How wonderful that the top dog of judges there is now to hear the case. He is going to hold the defense to every detail of every standard and make them get it together and not allow anymore stalling and nonsense. The defense is going to look back on Judge Strickland as the good old days. This judge is wholly offended by the defense one could easily guess and their honeymoon with the Florida courts extreme patience and kibitzing while Baez learns on the job is over, imo.

I hope all good things for Judge Strickland. It would take a lot more than the likes of Jose to derail his career. Everyone will recognize this for what it was, and I believe this will not reflect poorly on him in the slightest. Do you remember that poll the defense did and 89 percent , or some astronomical amount of those polled thought Baez was not honorable or trustworthy? I do think the judge's record for his career and lifetime of work will survive this with dignity and grace. He pissed right now, but this too shall pass. He will continue on his path and I believe he will make a wonderful judge however high up on that ladder he wishes to climb. Unlike Baez, we will be reading his learned, wise decisions many, many years into the future..maybe even from the Supreme Court. Baez is not important in the big picture of Judge Strickland's story of his life, by any stretch of the imagination. That is what helps me when I have something challenging or hurtful, I think if anyone should ever write my life story..would this even get a mention and more often than not, the answer is of course not. When you look at things in the big picture, the wonderful thing to know is that although someone slung mud.....they missed!!!!! Stand tall Judge, we all stand with you and history will be kind to you. You are a good, good man and that is perpetual. You can be proud of the work you do. I bet you sleep well and you are likely your parent's shining pride. May God continue to bless your life!
