Well, I'll be, I completely missed that language in Judge Perry's order. But with that said, my position that the Court's jurisdiction over her expired on July 17, 2012. In all of the cases I have cited, a judge erroneously entered an order or made determinations that a person was on...

I haven't read the book, don't plan on reading the book, and, so, have no opinion on the book.

So let me get this straight, because DOC says Casey Anthony is still on probation; she is still on probation. This being the same DOC that originally said she was not on probation. Well this is all I can say, Casey is free to continue reporting to probation and probation is free to keep...

Ironically, there is indeed a one level underground parking garage at the Orange County Courthouse. It is only accessible by judges, law enforcement, and jail transportation. It is the same parking garage Casey Anthony was transported through each time she came to court. The Bank of America...

In my line of work, it is clear that LE more frequently interact with African Americans as if they are suspicious or committing a crime, when compared to their interactions with Caucasians.

Technically, it is all hearsay and would not be allowed in. However, I could see an argument that it should be let in to show TM's "state of mind."

While it may be true you do not see the prosecutors out there giving press conferences (although the press conference to announce the charges looked like a Republican keynote address), you do see Crump, Natalie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc. out there non-stop calling for "justice for...

Florida Constitution, Article 1 (Declaration of Rights), Section 14: "every person charged with a crime... shall be entitled to pretrial release on reasonable conditions."

IF, and it's a big IF, people came forward that would testify Trayvon had a "reputation for violence"; then such testimony would be admissible. Simon v. State, 38 So. 3d 793 (Fla. 4th Dist. 2010) Otherwise, testimony of specific violent acts is inadmissible unless it could be proven the...

Mark is the man.

George Zimmerman can be impeached with any statements that contradict a statement he says in trial. Which is why any person he has told the story to could be deposed. If they reveal that they were told contradictory or incriminating statements by GZ, they could be called by the State as...

Technically, I suppose Mark O'Mara could introduce his police interviews. But practically, Zimmerman would have to testify.

If Trayvon was still alive, both he and Zimmerman could have claimed self defense if both were charged with a crime. While not technically a subjective defense, self defense can be raised by both parties to an altercation because the question is whether they "reasonably believed their for...
