2011.04.04 Motion Defendant's: For Withdrawal of Appointed Counsel

[momshrink]

Maybe it's Assistant Attorney Casey Anthony- she has got fed up with all the unpaid work she is expected to do.. :loser:

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

You know, maybe it is actually CM. He has had almost no role to play except to file motions, which have all been denied.

He looks completely bored in the hearings and sometimes I am certain he has nodded off.

He lost his temper at Kathi Belich several days ago and was severely criticized by his peers and the media.

HHJP has been noticeably less jovial with CM and his good ole boy style.

CM was caught by Bill Schaeffer and many others making an obscene gesture at the prosecutors on the last day of the Frye hearings, which again made press and very negative press.

So out of all of them, it appears CM is the one who is NOT having fun.:great:

So maybe the :bigfight: has gone out of him and he has had it hdear: with Baez's obvious blunders and need for control when he is obviously out of his depth. It probably isn't CM, but it should be IMO.

All true ... Mason's definitely no looking like he's having fun ! IMO Jose insists on running the show and Mason has to watch this incompetent buffoon lead the way ... Also, I just don't see Mason doing evenings and weekends much less 5 1/2 day weeks for 2 months ... JMO

She is actually an expert in finding fallacies or inconsistencies in experts in medical malpractice trials isn't she?

Thanks -- I'm sure you're right. I took the lazy way out and over-simplified her expertise.

 

[Lera213]

who is exactly on the DT getting paid those "Slave wages" (not my words those were JB's words)

If CM is getting paid I can see it is him, and he basically got out because of the budge situation the court is in right now.

You are correct darnudes. Ann Finnell is the older woman, and is there for the mitigation part of the trial. She is however DP qualified.

Dorothy Clay Simms is the younger woman, with the fluffy tangled hair who was present during the Frye hearings. She is there to help with questioning and interrogating scientific evidence ( in place of LKB ) I believe DCS is DP qualified as well?

 

[darnudes]

Ann Finnell promised to stay despite not being paid for travel, not Sims.

 

[Blaise]

Lookie, if you people have to put on black catsuits and repel through the roof of the courthouse, get to it. I gotta know who is leaving.

Casey Anthony Attorney to withdraw from case?

I think Sim's look over to the Inmate was to see the Inmate's reaction when Cindy said she took "items" out of the Inmate's car ... not only the purse.

I think Cindy said "work purse" because it had the "Universal" tag on it, although it had another person's name tag on it.

Cindy said she put dryer sheets "throughout the car" but there is only the ONE dryer sheet on the back seat with the shoes, where the baby's car seat was, before Cindy removed it.

I'd be shocked if DCS is DP qualified because I believe most of her experience is in civil trial - I think?............:waitasec:

I mean this is a lawyer who does not understand what a Frye hearing is for....:banghead: I think it was a first for her.

Okay, now at the end and no word yet - that is the fastest I have ever read a thread.

I can't for one moment believe that Ann Finnell would withdraw, she is the only lawyer making a worthwhile contribution and is probably working her butt off on the mitigation aspect, as well as keeping Baez from a contempt charge. I don't believe she would be able to withdraw because of her morals as she might believe she would be contributing to a clients death sentence. I believe Miss Finnell is the only one who is able to, because of her ethics, see this one out till the end. For Miss Finnell this is not about money, book deals nor publicity - Miss Finnell won't bail because of lack of travel expenses or some such rubbish, yes Baden and Lyon, I'm looking right at ya!

Miss Finnell is head and shoulders above all the defense team lawyers that have participated in this case.

I base this opinion on watching and listening to Miss Finnell during the hearings and nothing else, but this lady appears to have class, ethics and morals.

Also, Finell is no threat to Jose and his way of defending the guilt phase, she's focused on the penalty phase ... I don't see a conflict between them amounting to anything because Jose is still running the show ...
My money's on Mason (1st choice), Sims (2nd choice) ...
I don't think any of them can just quit at this point ... isn't the only way one of them can leave is to be fired by Casey?

She was brought on to take on the forensics after LKB exited.

For that reason, I predict it is AF's motion to withdraw. I never understood WTH JB was questioning Furton instead of AF. It made no sense at all to me. I keep thinking, "well, if she isn't going to examine the forensic experts, what exactly IS she going to do?"

I saw someone else ask RH on his blog why it was JB instead of AF examining the forensic witnesses and he said it made no sense to him either.

If I were her, I would wave goodbye in a heartbeat after JB's mess during the Frye hearings.

Now I am totally confused because I know I heard AF state she would be there until the end because she is the mitigation expert which means she would have to be there at the end of the sentencing.

And DS was suppose to do the forensic experts and that is why she was questioning Dr. Logan on Friday.

Thanks Beach must be reading/writing to quick

I know Miss Finnell is doing all the mitigation. Never could understand why they brought on Sims, she doesn't seem to have the right kind of background for this case.

If Mason goes I'll cry - no way I'm changing this avatar - it's just tooooo good.

The ONE dryer sheet with the shoes on the backseat, is in the position where the carseat had been before Cindy removed it.

 

[JDzWife]

These were comments he made BEFORE coming on her defense team. I don't blame him now for not commenting, as I think it is very smart, but then again, I think after making the comments he did back before, he shouldn't have joined the team to begin with.

CM DENIED he ever said those comments, even though everyone knows for fact he did and I believe it's even on youtube.

Hey - that's kind of a good idea y'know? Okay, who's up for this? Could also be a good solution for MM ...

GAHHHHHH - who is it?

Online court records show a motion for withdrawal of "appointed counsel" in the Casey Anthony case, but it was not clear late Monday who that attorney might be.


Who would be appointed counsel? I thought they were all hired by ICA? Appointed counsel would be by the court right?

MOO

"Appointed Attorney"

By who? JB & CM? I can't even remember WHO is appointed anymore.

 

[beach]

I'm confused - wasn't AF brought on for mitigation not forensics? Why would AF be questioning Furton?

Now I am totally confused because I know I heard AF state she would be there until the end because she is the mitigation expert which means she would have to be there at the end of the sentencing.

And DS was suppose to do the forensic experts and that is why she was questioning Dr. Logan on Friday.

YES! Y'all are right. I was thinking Dorothy Simms in my head and accidently typed AF's initials! :doh:

So sorry for the confusion. I edited my original post. :iamashamed:

 

[Lera213]

What if the silence as to who is leaving is JB himself! I'm thinking it might be him, what if SA agreed to not seek the DP if JB removes himself from the case. LOL
