The reason Casey is free today is because of Melvin Perry. It was his decisions and rulings that created a situation where the jury was completely in the dark about many of the things Casey did both before the murder and afterwards. The jury acquitted her simply because so much evidence was hidden from them. Perry was the person who ruled whether that evidence should be admitted or not. The public watching the trial knew twice as much as the jurors knew. That's the reason there was so much outrage at the final verdict, with people questioning the sanity of the jury. It wasn't the jury, it was the judge hiding critical evidence from the jury and not allowing it to be presented by the prosecutor. The public was privy to them arguing about that damning evidence in the courtroom, but the jury wasn't.
It's bothered me a whole lot to see this judge go out on the talk show circuit and be heralded as a celebrity of sorts, when it was because of him that she walked free. Anybody with even half a brain knows that you don't place duct tape over your kid's mouth and nose and expect nothing bad to come of it.
He needs to go away quietly................he's making himself sound both naive' and foolish.
