2010.08.30 - Status Hearing

[wenwe4]

Judge asking about defense filing motions

Standing objection of abuse -

 

[beach]

HHJP: The one thing I have a question about (because of the Orlando Sentinel motion in re. standing objection of 119.01 - the media motion). The way I took it is that you were just putting it in the record that you had a standing objection and that you are not expecting me to consider and rule again on it.

I have a terrible time understanding Cheney Mason when he talks,
I missed half of what he just said.

Me too! If he does much at the trial, we won't know what the heck is going on.

 

[Intermezzo]

Cheney now arguing overwhelming majority of depos will be 5 minutes or less.

Well then why has the Defenes canceled Depos?
Baez has had over 1 year to conduct depos of key people such as LE and he did not...

 

[whiteangora]

JP - "I chose to be a judge not a legislator" lol

 

[Eidetic]

HJBP pi$$ed at defense. Laying down the law in his court room discussing motions the defense filed claiming the court is abusing different state statutes. (Orlando Sentinel)

Me too! If he does much at the trial, we won't know what the heck is going on.

I hope Cheney gives closing arguments to the jury........hehe

 

[wenwe4]

Judge saying not my job to re-write it. Motion for change of venue and we will go and pick a jury and bring them back here and we will see how much folks from a certain area may know about it. As time gets near we will start letting you know where it will be, but it will be issued under a gag order. Judge is still trying to think about when, how to let the media know. We don't want to have man/woman on street interviews that make it impossible to find juries.

Some difficulty in planning the depos for 35 LE, LDB says defense scheduled them all for this Friday. Says this is unacceptable, only leaves 10 min. per depo. Doesn't think it is enough.
JP says he will set depo schedule if need be, but he will book them into evening if necessary.
CM says that he can do that many in that day and he is the one doing them.

Mason thinks a 10 min depo is all he needs...so just how important is a witness if you only want to spend 10 deposing them?

 

[Eidetic]

Well, this explains both JB and HJBP's demeanor's this afternoon.

 

[Aedrys]

*looks at watch* Wasn't this hearing supposed to be half an hour? It's been a freaking hour now!

 

[Eidetic]

HJBP, telling CM he is not a senior citizen. He's "seen him operate", laughing. CM laughing as well like, "ha... you got my number, had to try though..."

 

[beach]

omg....now CM b*tching about the 'Senior Citizens' Act. *gag* More special consideration.

That man irks me so much. lol

 

[Hell's Belle]

OMG Cheney just tried to make a really stupid joke about the ADA preventing the judge from making "senior citizens" work excessive hours.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

Jury selection starts 5/9

 

[wenwe4]

May 9th is the day they will start jury selection. They can issues their subpoena's for the 16th.

 

[Aedrys]

OMG Cheney just tried to make a really stupid joke about the ADA preventing the judge from making "senior citizens" work excessive hours.

Isn't he supposed to be retired? Why don't you retire right now, Mr. Mason, if you don't want to work overtime? What an *.

 

[Openmyeyes]

I hope Cheney gives closing arguments to the jury........hehe

:crosseyed::whistle::cat::HBwhiteflag::sheesh::drink::scream:

 

[wenwe4]

Burdick asking if Atty's going to split the closing argument. (ie: 1 lawyer do part of it and another lawyer do the rest). Judge saying he is not for or against this as long as there is a clear demarkation and if they want to divide certain areas.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

I'm getting bored now.
