Maybe the good Judge just gave JB a serious azz kicking in private then said You know what it's Saturday and I've dealt with this same BS 5 days in a row and we are out of here.... that's what I'd do anyway! :floorlaugh:
When he came out he said something to the effect 'some things never change' so I really suspect that's what it was.
Plus the usual utter chaos behind the scenes of the defense team.
No! That's the funny thing. The judge cannot deliver any serious *advertiser censored* kickings, no matter how well deserved in private. Anything concerning the matters before the court must be done in the presence of both sides. (besides you just know JA would never tolerate HHJP delivering a JB beat down that he doesn't get to watch).
So for this morning we know that it is not;
1. Anything involving JA or Dr. Rodriguez (all parties would be involved)
2. Anything involving Dr Furton
3. Anything directly involving JB's discovery violations with the prosecution.
4. Anything involving the Defense theory of the crime or opening statements
5. Anything directly involving any testimony given in court
6. Any evidence issues, including pictures
7. Any discovery issues
8. Any motions to dismiss, mistrial etc
9. Anything involving juror misconduct or breaking of sequestration (all parties would be involved)
With only the defense and the defendant meeting with the judge it absolutely cannot be one of those. Period! End of discussion. Judge cannot engage in ex parte comunication with one side or the other except in very very narrow circumstances. So that points us straight back at some combination of issues within the DT, be it health, ethical or issues involving representation. These are all things that would involve the defendant, her council, the judge but not the prosecution or the matters before the court.
