Well, the defense has been whining for the better part of a year now.
As we sit here today they have not deposed Tim Miller. Moreover, according to Tim, the defense has not even deposed the thirty two searchers that they were given info on so very long ago.
What they got Snaz is the kind of talking to you and I likely got from our moms, stop that whining or I'll give you something REAL to cry about, from the judge. Only it wasn't a parent scolding a child it was a very serious, learned, respected Judge who would be believed ;above reproach, if he made any complaints to the bar. In slag, The Big Dog! We're not on Hopespring Drive where Dominic and Hoover are easily led. If there was any misunderstanding on their part of his role, and authority, I bet everything I own, that was cleared up straight away. They are lucky, imo, he gave them the professional courtesy not to hold the hearing in open court, and remove all doubt for the public. It would be career suicide for them to disobey the judge's orders about not releasing any names. Those B plans they are used to falling back on has just ratcheted up.They are dire need of what I jokingly refer to as the emergency plan. My very, very favorite; thanks to Intermezzo bringing it to our attention, is now they not only have Mark to contend with.....now they have also Mr. George, Jeff Ashton or Linda Drane Burdick to chime in to the judge and opine on which docuements are relevant. This is especially hyserical, because Mark and Linda have studied the documents and hand picked ones, the only ones they feel are. Where they stand on any others the defense pulls out is therefore clearly going to be a resounding NO.
In my opinion Jose and Cheney, either alone or combined are way out of their league against these folks. I say that, based on results!!! How very many defense motions have the Assistant District Attorneys mopped the floor with? Suffice it to say a LARGE majority of them. It is sometimes painful to watch. I would be mortified to have the opposing counsel stand in open court and argue to the judge, the motion is replete with errors,from top to bottom, it is wrong on the facts, wrong on the law, it contradicts itself paragraph by paragraph, it ...well.. it doesn't even come close to the legal requirements, it should not even be entertained by the court. These are the type of things Mrs. Drane Burdick has said regarding the defense motions. Saying they are way out of their league is , in the words of Mark Nejame, "Overly generous in my characterization". Oh the fun he has made of the defense...it is tough to measure.
Even so, they should thank God and their lucky stars that Judge Perry didn't ice the cake with ordering the inspection of the files, as he did with the inspection of the evidence ....to be videotaped. You just can't make this stuff up!!!!
When you were a little boy, Cheney and Jose, did your Grandfather ever tell you to be careful what you wish for or you just might get it, in spades? Law degrees aside, it is the good old fashioned common sense that seems to elude them.
Yes, in his own style of talking, ( referring to Joe Jordan ), Mr. Mason uses the terms wood- shedded. That is my guess of what happened here. It was not a tea party they were invited to behind closed doors so he could compliment everyone on their fine lawyering.
As always this is just my humble opinion.
O/T For all the folks who are asking me is Tim my Uncle or something..no he is not. I just admire him so, and what the defense and Cindy Anthony have done to he and Mark is vile, literally vile to me.
For all parents and , a little levity

) If they cannot agree, Judge Perry will review them. then set a hearing to hear arguments and rule. I can't see all that happening in the next few days.
