East, have you heard any bad news about JP? Is he having problems? Man-oh-man, I hope not. I hope he has just washed his hands of it and has just settled-in to the next case. He certainly can't be challenged or reversed (that would prolly please him!!) on the freakin' verdict, so he has prolly chalked it up to "just one of crazy those things." Part of the job...
And he would be a gr-r-r-reat grand-daddy or "Uncle Bel," wouldn't he? And yes, the stories he could tell!!
His demeanor during that trial really didn't change whether he denied or allowed testimony from either side, altho I could discern a bit of "oh, dammit" when he dealt with Baez at times..:hand:.....:doh:...:doorhide:... :anguish:...:noooo:..:sigh:..:ignore:. And that's the way a judge should be. Just like here in Raleigh, the principals know each other from talk they hear, from sharing a courtroom together in other procedures, and judges in "past lives" when they have been prosecutors or defenders or both.
Good thoughts to JP!
(And yes, East, JA is just a tad (!) sexy!!) And Baby, you're nevah too old!!
Well, that probation hearing hearing last Friday landed back in Judge Perry's lap--after Judge Stan initiated it the week before and then went on vacation after recusing himself again. Judge Stan (Strickland?--can't remember his last name at the moment, the original judge in the CA case) had orally sentenced CA to serve one year of probation upon her release and the clerk who typed up the order messed up the part about serving after her release, omitted that part altogether. The defense is saying she served her one year of probation while in jail....and a probation officer saw her one time and that's it. The original judge brought it to everybody's attention 2 weeks ago that he sentenced CA to that one year of probation and then left it all for Judge Perry to sort out. Judge Perry had to endure 90 minutes of courtroom drama last Friday morning and couldn't make a decision until he researched case law. Said he couldn't find any case law in the state of Florida and would have to dig deep. So he's still not finished with CA and her mess. He was his sweet and somewhat jolly, easy going, old self last Friday and it was so good to see him again. I have truly missed him. I can tell he wants to do the right thing but I can also tell that he wants to wash his hands of everything pertaining to CA and never be bothered with her again.
