Letter from Jury Foreman

[Madeleine74]

Incompetent defense attorney, yep. He is inexperienced and it shows. Judge Perry clearly dislikes him, and I saw the judge almost laughing at one of his objections/reasons last week. But Judge Perry is universally beloved by those watching this trial, even though he has smacked down the defense on several occasions and ruled against them a good 95%+ of the time. Perhaps it's because most people believe the defendant is guilty of murder and their feelings toward the judge are more amendable, I don't know.

I see his rulings and wonder what the people who watched the BC trial and thought of Gessner think of Perry (nearly always) ruling against this defense team. He's actually embarrassed Jose Baez on more than one occasion, having to instruct him on how to do a valid cross exam. :-O
