I could be very wrong, but the way I read read the motion that corrections filed, (and it was carefully worded, even for legalese), was that this can actually be used as a supporting motion in the long run to support any decision Judge S may make in regards to to JB's latest motion for waiver rights for appearances.
I'm breaking it down like this:
1. last motion hearing was a fiasco for corrections, including getting other inmates back in their cells so KC could be moved to transport area, pulling staff to transport KC, and navigating/arranging such transport to minimize media exposure outside of the court house
2. Judge S. rules KC must attend all important hearings - except date & status hearings - to off-set possible appeal issues
3. JB files new motion against previous ruling for 'non-acceptance of right to waive'
4. Corrections is asking that KC's name only be included on transport list for days she has to attend hearings - which is provided by Judge's Judicial Asst. (i.e. it comes from the Judge)
5. Judge S. can now use this as part of the reason to deny current motion. Or at very least, to ensure that KC is in court each time, even if JB files these waiver motions over and over again. If adequate advance timing/planning is required corrections and must be on transport list by 4:00 of trial day, then Judge S. can reasonably (I think) approve corrections motion (hope he does first!!!), which impacts JB's waiver motion.
If I am right, this is a good thing. JB can motion for waiver to appear out the wahzoo, and she'll still have to be there for each hearing, whether she stays or not.
Corrections isn't helping the defense with this motion.
If all that's a problem for corrections, seems to me that if Casey is moved into general pop, most of the problems go away. Poor lil thang.
