Casey Anthony attorney: Judge Perry has 'clear bias'

[LCoastMom]

This is the way I see it. First of all I don't post here much mostly a lurker and enjoy everyone here and the hard work you do keeping us up to date while at work and unable to watch these hearings live.

Okay here goes. I believe that the DT is doing this to try and garner some sort of sympathy from the public, that they think people may believe that ICA is not getting a fair shake or whatever and will not convict her based on this. They know that the public and the possible jurors are all keeping up on this case therefore they are going to be full of "stunts" like this.

Remember all they need is for one juror to vote not guilty for this to be an not guilty verdict. AND ICA walks free.

As I have read many times from AZ lawyer in the other thread that this is not a "slam dunk case" for the prosecution at all.

Remember folks: Its not over till the fat lady sings.

Re BBM - wouldn't one "not guilty" make for a mistrial rather than letting ICA walk?

No way is this state team going to let her go free without a battle.

CM and the facts are strangers.

In one motion, he claimed that KC got the Bella Vita tattoo 2 weeks after Caylee was reported missing.

I watched every minute of that hearing and I swear CM would go right up there and misstate the facts from what was just spoken. Nobody corrected him. We were even talking about it here hoping LDB would say something. It isn't just the details from the beginning of the case before he joined the defense. I don't think he's senile or anything I think he thinks if he says it enough people will remember it his way.

I have not seen a judge to date that is not "biased" toward law enforcement-For instance, go to any given day in traffic court and watch a defendant tell a judge he was not driving eratically. Then, listen as the citing officer gives his side of the story. For sure, the judge will tell the defendant that the officer has a trained eye and that the officer's version is considered to be more likely or accurate.
Ponder the question-why can an officer search your car if he smells marijuana or alcohol, even if you deny it is the smell of weed or booze? Part of probable cause goes to the fact that an officer is trained to know what constitutes, well, probable cause.
Newsflash-CASEY MARIE ANTHONY IS NOT SPECIAL.

The judge has no doubt treated her the same in his considerations as he would anyone else-It is actually a pretty easy thing for him to do when he relies on sworn testimony and law.

I think somebody needs to be looking into a new career or possibly retirement. You don't accuse the Chief Justice of the 9th District of being biased without political ramifications and consequences. That's almost as bad as walking up to the bench, grabbing his gavel and whacking him over the head with it. Different method, same results.

Actually I think JP knew CM was going to do it from what was said at the last hearing if the motion was denied. We need to ask AZ if it's being done to preserve the record for appellate issues in a higher court after conviction. I don't think ICA will have the same lawyers if she gets an appeal either.

That's just crazy and sickening at the same time when you understand when and why that pic was taken. I really hope the jury sees that.

 

[Caligram]

If anything, HHJP has bent over backwards to avoid giving the DT any cause for an appeal. JB's outrageous behavior the past two days alone should have co$t him some $lapdowns. I am appalled that this kind of behavior is allowed. - I think the DT have pushed HHJP too far with this motion. The DT also needs some cautionary reminders about the time "clock" exceeding allowable billable hours.

Well, not really. He didn't actually say that the judge is biased in favor of the state, but that he is biased in favor of LE. Defense attorneys do make these kinds of arguments, usually on appeal. It does not destroy their career. Some judges may get annoyed but I think this judge is too professional for that. I don't think he would "punish" the defense by giving them bad rulings, either, because he is offended. Again, this judge is too professional for that.

Also, while I think the defense is very wrong on most of their facts (like that casey was handcuffed for hours in the car - b.s. - or the insinuation that she was handcuffed and then driven around while being interrogated and then driven back and goosestepped by big bad deputies into the house - yeah, right), the defense is just doing what many other defense attorneys do. There is nothing, IMO, too outlandish or stupid about this tactic. They have no good defense so they have to try every technical avenue they can. They will lose this motion and I predict, the trial, but otherwise, none of these tactics that seem to shock and appall so many are really that outrageous. I hate their style, and find JB to be mediocre and very arrogant, unlikeable and smug, which will affect a jury, but I haven't seen anything so far that is too far off the beaten path.

THUD!

Oh, I am sorry...that was just Little Bitty throwing something non-breakable against the wall.

HHJP happens to be one of the most experienced, by the book Judges I have ever heard or read about.

The Defense Team in this case has to be the most (Little Bitty must abide by TOS but let your imagination, not your keyboard go slumming for the most awful adjectives with visuals your mind will allow)...

My dad was a very well respected Pathologist for 30 years before he died. He graduated from the University of Texas and from Washington University Medical School in St. Louis. He served his internship at Johns Hopkins and his residency at Southwestern in Dallas.

He used to tell me about a local defense attorney who was very UNUSUAL (lol)...basically, when my dad would be subpoened in court to testify, this attorney would give the person delivering the summons a quarter and have him leave it on my dad's desk at the hospital when the person delivered the summons. Later in court, this UNUSAL attorney would then say, "Dr. Father of LittleBitty" is it true that you were paid for your testimony at court today?"

My dad always offered his testimony for free to the state. It was he believed a professional courtesy. He also would do things for people without money, like free autopsies, etc...

Anywho, once my father became hip to this stunt, he would chase the person down the hall and either hand or throw the quarter or money back at them...

He believed in truth and justice. Good doctors and Bad doctors. Good lawyers and Bad Lawyers. And I can assure you, if he were alive and had to testify in this case, JB and company would be running from the courtroom with their ears and their conscience and their souls bleeding. He would have run circles around their experts...and not to brag, had more education than a lot of the experts who are being called to testify in this courtroom...

HHJP will remain where he is. He has no other bias than a bias for the truth, the rule of law, and Justice. Unfortunately, the Defense is only on the side of their own bias, their interpretation of the law and their quest to avoid Justice for their client.

HHJP will prevail. And I do assure you, that while they will appeal her inevitable guilty conviction...no amount of smoke and mirrors will spare their client, appeal or no, new judge or no, because that higher court will not hear their appeals...nor grant their request for a hearing.

Your dad sounds like a man of true integrity. In the world of high-priced expert witnesses, he is a breath of fresh air.

I don't think this defense will be handling her appeal though. They got all the money and fame they could from her. They will drop her like a hot potato once this case is over, IMO.

 

[jumpinjack]

I don't know - how many judges does JB want to go through? Enough to get him a not-guilty verdict? Fortunately, the US Judicial System doesn't work that way. You can't just pick and choose and move on when you don't get a response in your favour.

I think they're tring to hold out for HHGR to preside over this case.
His Honorable Geraldo Rivera.

Nah, he thinks she's guilty too. He likes JB though. :floorlaugh:

 

[zoey]

Basically, according to the DT, LE are liars. They tricked KC into making all of these statements...intimidated her...falsely incarcerated her...and CA, at the time was an agent of the state who forced her to lie to the 911 operator...

Essentially, ICA's lies are quick sand for the defense. They don't want any of what she said about ZFG, her fake job at Universal, her fake phone with all of the numbers on the sim card she had through Universal, that was lost/stolen and reported by ICA to Universal, the "friends" she told about Caylee's kidnapping who don't exist, ZFG's mother, and roomies and living places that don't exist...

HA HA...to defense attorneys everywhere...I feel your pain. NOT.

Oh lets just be real---DT believes that everyone is lying with the exception of THEM and their client....not only that but everyone hates them & their client....They don't care who they destroy along the way---its a game to them---they forgot along the way that this case isn't about them---they aren't the victims--CAYLEE is...they just have become volunteer victims....shameful at that:maddening:

Half of jb cross examinaton yesterday could have been applied to him...he isn't just clinging onto kc because he believes in her innocence (after that suspicious performance--I truly believe he KNOWS she is guilty--afterall he pointed out her flaws)--he is doing this for publicity--sympathy---no one on that team is just there for her---there is a purpose and it is for some financial gain...the big ones left when they realized that the pot was dry---they are a very very sad group---

The DT also needs some cautionary reminders about the time "clock" exceeding allowable billable hours.

When I read this motion, it appeared to me that Mason once again wrote a motion based on his MINIMAL knowledge of the facts of this case. We have seen time and time again in motions, as well as courtroom statements in front of HHJP, that Mason does NOT possess the ALL the facts in this case because he has neglected to read ALL documentation, etc. Heck, even he stated in open court that he has put in very few hours per week on this case since his involvement.

The majority of the statements he makes are based on information relayed to him by BAEZ.....(this appears to be a common practice with these defense attorneys...they ALL seem confused since NO ONE appears to have gone back and reviewed ALL documents at the time they became involved in the case)

There ARE two attorneys, however, who are VERY WELL VERSED with EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of this case.....and that is LDB and JA...

And IF this motion even makes it to a hearing, Mason will state his cause (full of misinformation) and SA will then slam him to the ground...

MOTION DENIED.

 

[Phumi]

Actually I think JP knew CM was going to do it from what was said at the last hearing if the motion was denied. We need to ask AZ if it's being done to preserve the record for appellate issues in a higher court after conviction. I don't think ICA will have the same lawyers if she gets an appeal either.

I think that's exactly what it is. Pretty much standard practice for setting up an appeal. The defense does not expect the judge will change his ruling.

I agree. It is going to be yet another smack of reality when her current lawyers move on after the trial.

 

[miss plum]

This motion is clearly bias without the vowels.

 

[LiveLaughLuv]

Only His Honor has never had a case overturned on appeal.

He's Chief Judge, he is the go to judge when a problem arises in a case.

He's fair and balanced and has given lots to the DT...such as investigative hours..grants them witout backup...he wants this trial to start on time and will not be intimidated by CMasons foolish attacks of bais from His Honor...I await a scathing denial, no bite of the apple for a second time...JMHO

Justice for Caylee

 

[my2sense]

The only 2 problem things I see in Judge Perry's order to deny supression of statements is:
Order Denying Defense Motion to Suppress Statements to Law Enforcement

http://www.wesh.com/pdf/27242107/detail.html

Judge Perry says that LE was invited inside the A home by Casey. (this might be true to a certain extent)
He also seems to think the conference room at Universal was actually Casey's imaginary office. Maybe it's just worded to sound that way, but that's what I get out of it.
Regardless, suggesting that JBP is biased will not win any favors for Mason in the future. jmo

I had those same thoughts when I read the Order for the first time. I worried that the inaccuracy about the conference room, in particular, might be a problem. I realize it is a technicality, but doesn't it have to be corrected? I'm not suggesting that JBP is wrong in his overall ruling -- not at all. I'd hate to see something bad happen because of a technicality. There is no way they need a new hearing - Judge Perry got the relevant facts perfectly straight.

 

[USARDOG]

Without basis... I don't think even in hind sight LE could have acted any differently. They were confronted with what was told to them (Caylee was kidnapped by ZG) and it took quite a while to find out that was not the truth, and while LE may have had suspicions when they found out they were constantly being lied to, evidence, proof is still needed. The A's were denying that Caylee was deceased even after the memorial service! So how could they have arrested ICA any earlier? I mean what are police to do when called to a kidnapping scene... Arrest the parents immediately even though there is nothing to cast suspicion on them?

If there is any bias in this case it's in favor of the defense as JB makes so many stupid, rude comments in court and I can't believe he hasn't been slapped down harder for it.

I do not think it is a question of "biased" as much as the fact that LE usually have documentation to support their claims which is the case here with KC. This does not mean that LE is right just that they have documented proof they believe their right. Obviously, for some reason CA thought KC was going to leave or why would she take such a drastic measure as having her daughter arrested. CA felt KC was keeping Caylee from her for a reason which indicates there probably was a fight and KC left because of it. So KC was aware her Mom was the one who did not want her to leave. jmo
