Hi beach!
There was a copy of the articles included with the motion...
I don't exactly love the guy, and he has a habit of going way overboard in being nice to the A's. That being said, I don't think he's a bad guy. I think he got caught up in this case, and to have Judge Strickland single him out really inflated his ego. I may not agree with everything he says, but he has done some good reporting and I have found interesting things on his blog. He seems like a decent guy that has gotten in way over his head in this case.
But I am partially irritated. I mean come on, a Casey defense PI visits you and you're not suspicious from the get go? I know he has seen how many people the defense has thrown under the bus. It seems like he thought he was untouchable for some reason, or at the very least, he thought the defense wouldn't bother with him. He is, after all, just another blogger reporting on this case. HE was the one who was starstruck about Judge Strickland, NOT the other way around. But IMO, he should have known better than to open his mouth AT ALL to anyone associated with the defense. especially their neverending supply of PI's!
Now he knows that anyone that was near Orlando, or in the state of Florida for that matter, may be interviewed and thrown under the bus by the defense. I feel sorry for him in that I don't think he's a big a celebrity as they're making him out to be, and just like everyone else the defense has tainted, he didn't deserve to be dragged into this case and under the wheels of the defense bus (that thing must be as big as a lear jet!), especially to make someone fair and unbiased as Judge Strickland look bad. I doubt MD ever intended or wanted to do something like that.
It also kind of makes me worry because who's next? Valhall or anyone that comments on her blog, The Hinky Meter? Express or anyone else at? The dozens of other bloggers out there who blog specifically about the Caylee Anthony Case? or God forbid, the mods or any posters at Websleuths? I don't want the defense to start going through blogs to find people to drag into this case to make someone else look bad, or to just complain that people hate Casey. Sheesh. They shouldn't be able to do nasty things like that and get away with it.
This whole motion is just very upsetting. A great, legendary judge is being tarnished by a defense that isn't worthy enough to spit on his Honor's shoes. And the defense just keeps sinking lower and lower, losing more and more credibility. I really hoped Mason would clean things up, but no! He's just sitting back and watching Baez drive this into the ground. And Baez couldn't get what he wanted with the TES searchers, so now he's eyeing the bloggers, like he's going to find a gold mine there. Cripes, can't you just do depostions and get on with the freaking case already, Baez?
Good Gawd! Somebody stop DM before he completely destroys this case!

Knechel now wishes he would have kept that interaction to himself.
But he isn't holding back on what he thinks should happen with this case and his feelings for Casey Anthony's defense team.
What the judge needs to do is toss this motion out because it smacks of desperation. When Baez and Mason must attack a blogger and a distinguished member of the court, clearly, they have run out of options," Knechel said.

Now he's lumping himself and Judge S. together.
I understand how you feel, Aedrys, but I see this situation as a win/win for the State. Either JS will step down and the Defense will be dealt even a worse hand than they believe they have now, or, JS will remain as the presiding Judge.
Either way, Casey is going down for the murder of Caylee. Keep that in mind and it tends to ease the bumps along the journey to that end means.

Hey Not!
Gotta disagree with ya again pal...:croc:
Judge Stan Stricklands true colors are beautiful, like a rainbow.
His comment was based on FACTS that were supported to him in the form of her written and recorded statements. That IS acceptable for him to recognize FACTS...don't you think? He is a good man. He is a good Judge. This is all nonsense and smoke and mirrors...that's all it ever was...and all that it will be.
ther_beatingA_Dead, - silly when you think about it because plenty of Casey's lies were known at the time of his comment, and they were known to the public as well as the courts.
So Casey really did work for Universal on June 9th, even though you call that a "false date"?
No, of course not, she lied about it and you know it.
This cry about Judge Strickland's comment is yet another
She lied about Zenaida, she lied to LE and refused to cooperate in helping them locate her baby daughter which is why they finally decided to arrest her and rightly so. Casey just didn't think her butt would be sitting behind bars because after all, her lies have worked for her all of her life and blown right past Cindy who covers for her lies, but oops, you don't lie to LE and get away with it! Fooled you, Casey Anthony!
Judge Strickland knew of Casey's lies, and he went methodically, step-by-step down the statues of consideration before he announced her bail.
Judge Strickland spoke factually and truthfully in his statement that "Casey Anthony and the truth are strangers."
ITA! Some ask for the TRUTH...well what's to stop the defense from presenting it? Where is the truth? I'd consider anything reasonable. Why do some think it's only the State's job to get at the truth? They'll tell their version of it in due time. But what do we get from the defense? Anything substantial? No, we get all this bs and nonsense.
