2010.12.21 Stream of Motions - General Discussion

I think one of the problems with cell phones is that computers are allowed and one could argue that they are using their smart phone in a "computer capacity".

The real crux of cell phones not being allowed in the courtroom gallery is the possibility of ringing disrupting a hearing.

Both JB and Jeff A. have used their cell phones during hearings. But it appears they are texting or checking email etc....

What I would be most concerned about is a witness having a cell phone on and connected to another witness that is not allowed in the courtroom until after they have been dismissed. I won't name names.

As far as someone posting of their plans for a "future courtroom unauthorized photo session"......KARMA.
 
Couldn't they ban him (MD) from the courtroom if he feels so compelled to break the rules? What is his problem? Is this a joke to him? A game? This is the murder trial of a two-year-old little girl named Caylee! :banghead:

Sounds immature to me. jmo
 
I heard two "new" things after reviewing the part 1 video.

Cheney Mason asked where the mute button was. Ummmmmmmm was this his FIRST visit to the Orange County Courthouse???? I mean....are we supposed to believe he had never seen the mics before????

Cheney Mason commented If I need a federal something to tell me.......

I noticed another thing too ... towards the end of Part 1, after KC has entered and sat, and right after Cindy and George enter the courtroom and are sitting down, the bailiff says "if you're chewing gum, please get rid of it before you come into the courtroom, there's a trashcan outside" .... starting @ 1:00
:eek:

And that's when Strickland was still in charge ... so the A's do know that they are not supposed to be chewing gum !!

starting @ 8:20 ... George chomping on gum

I'm wondering if this has been said in any other hearings ...

Glad you mentioned this ... it's disturbing that people in the gallery and witnesses can be recording and transmitting what's happening in the courtroom ... maybe come trial Judge Perry will enforce the rules of decorum? ... IMO he should be doing this at all hearings because some people really need to be trained and need to practice the rules of decorum :gum:

Can someone direct me to where the photo is that has JB's panties in a bunch?
 
Thanks for the welcome. Sorry, I had to step out for a moment. I do not post often, but this just sent a shiver up my spine. I love this site and check it out for the most informative news updates and love the discussions. Everything is very civil and thought provoking. I read most posts concerning the Casey Anthony case and after reading at the other site, it just made me very nervous. I do want Casey to have a fair trial and am afraid that certain people will insert themselves for their own gain and cause a mistrial. I was just if it was me and am I reading too much into this. I do not trust the defense team.
 
Can I just say that if I hear only ONE "Bear in mind, Mr. Baez!" by HHJP during Monday's hearing, my day will be complete. :great: (I think we'll hear it a bit more than once though)
:floorlaugh:
 

Ya know it's not like KC has this full schedule and can't find the time to read these documents they are giving her in court before the hearings. Why can't they give these to her prior to court to read. She is suppose to be paying attention to what is going on during the court procedures. I can see her asking questions but, really, they can't take some time to prepare her. And if JB is concerned about what she writes, give her a legal pad and let her flip up the top page to cover what she writes. She paid JB $275,000 the least he can do is give her a full pad instead of a couple of sheets. Instead of flailing against the wind....cover up. Common sense here. jmo

Crazy question regarding this bruhaha over courtroom photo's. Is the courtroon considered to be someplace where anyone would have even a mild reasonable expectation of privacy? I mean really isn't it by it's very nature and defined purpose a place where matters of law and business are conducted before the public eye? What expectations of private communication would the defendant or the attorneys have in that room? If they need to discuss something privately with a client don't they have an option to request a recess to do so?
 
This may not be the right thread, but did the defense meet their deadline on who the mitigation specialist was going to be ? Wasnt that supposed to be filed by today ?
Tia.......

Mods if you need to just beam me where I am supposed to be :)

Yes it sure was, instead they filed a late additional witness list for the penalty phase and none for TES that we know of!

Anyone who has ever sat an exam with other students on either side of you is capable of writing reams without anyone else seeing what you have written....

Question: when Ann Finnell asked to have the penalty list witnesses sealed - where there actually any witnesses on the list? I don't think there were - I think it was just a list of possible potentials - wasn't it? She had just started and didn't seem to know her left hand from her right back then.

So maybe this request is a list with some real, actual witnesses this time.
 
what time is Mondays hearing supposed to be? Please say 5pm!
:innocent:

Yes, you would have an expectation that you could communicate privately with your client and co-counsel, although you would also assume you'd have to push the "mute" button on the microphone, whisper, conceal your papers, etc.

I think it's reasonable to ask for no telephoto lenses. I think it's silly to ask for the microphones to be removed as those are making an official court record of the proceedings. They must have mute buttons.
