I'm pretty sure I checked Judge Strickland's docket for today, and it wasn't.
Clerk site is down right now:
<<Information is currently not accessible. We are working to make it available as soon as possible. Please try again later, and thank you for your patience.>>
Maybe someone else already got the info.
I know, me too. Why, oh, why wasn't that recorded. I would've watched it over and over. :crazy:
So he didn't even file his motion and request a hearing according to the rules? Oopsie!
I really want to know what goes on in JBs mind... most lawyers get super nervous and prepare for weeks to go before a judge, because you want judges to LIKE you so they are sympathetic to your client (judges are people too). Here, he knows he is not only going before a judge but really before the nation...and really?
It seems that the defense has a habit of doing this - I'm sure this isn't the last time we will see the defense 'not follow the rules according the law' - the trial should be a good one if this what we have to look forward to, don't you think???
I can't find any personal attacks on Morgan except those made by Cindy (ie. ambulance chaser).
*WESH offered dramatic footage of well-known attorney John Morgan answering Cindy Anthony. She has called Morgan "an ambulance chaser." He is representing a woman who is suing Casey Anthony; the woman says her life was ruined when Casey Anthony wrongly named her as the baby sitter to missing Caylee.
Morgan's response to Cindy Anthony: "Be careful when she calls me an ambulance chaser. Because she may have repeated this same slander, and she may find the ambulance chaser turning his Howitzer in a different direction, and it may be in her direction."

Interesting? I don't know. Frustrating, ABSOLUTELY! Lol!
That's the part that has always confused me... how can she countersue and take the 5th? Once the countersuit was filed I remember Morgan stating what a potential mistake the defense had made because that then gave him the right to depose Casey. Any legal experts please chime in and help us understand.
Guess this is what the judge was offended by:
"The judge also issued a strict warning to the attorneys, advising them not to engage in personal attacks. In a motion to postpone the deposition, the defense accused John Morgan's law firm of representing Zenaida Gonzalez to gain publicity. They cited a billboard that shows Morgan dressed as Santa Claus and says, "Santa Claus is 'For The People' Merry Christmas" as an example."

I don't consider the "howitzer" quote a personal threat against Cindy. Merely, a warning from Mr. Morgan's himself. "Keep making salacious statements about our firm, and we will go after you in court".

Damn, was that a threat? And the A Team isn't pressing charges?
Actually that remark alone is very unsettling coming from an atty. He should be above replying to her pettiness and it really shows the caliber of people working this case.
MN, I'm so glad you got yourself out of this circus. BC, we like you. Proceed with caution.
It was in front of Judge Rodriguez. Maybe one of the media outlets was able to record it and will broadcast later.
Pot, meet kettle. I can't decide if the defense is over their heads, or out of their minds...
