Perry has called for an April 30 status hearing on the capital murder case, according to an order signed by the judge today. The case is nearly two years old already, but Perry assumed control of the case Monday when judge Stan Strickland withdrew from it on Monday after defense attorneys said he was friendly with a local blogger. Perry, the chief judge, decided to take the case.
Perry asked attorneys from both sides to come prepared to:
*Discuss discovery and scheduling deadlines.
*Discuss future motion deadlines.
*Discuss motions that are still pending.
*And discuss pre-trial and trial dates.
The order reflects Perry's reputation for efficiency. He also asked attorneys to provide him a list of motions that will require evidentiary hearings and those based on pleadings and to give courtesy copies to the court of future motions
Perry also put attorneys on notice about how their behavior in court: He asked that they "familiarize themselves with the Ninth Judicial Circuit Courtroom Decorum Policy" and follow it "at all times."
Meanwhile, the State Attorney's office will release another batch of discovery on Friday morning in the capital murder case against Casey Anthony.
