I personally feel that the Judge is focused on the big picture while at the same time allowing the Defense and the A's some latitude. Where it does not impact the grand scheme I don't think HHJP really cares so much as long as justice is served.
It is sorta/kinda a case of give them enough rope and let them hang themselves. Perceptions speak volumes and the same way we feel it is disrespectful and un-professional, based on attire, joking, texting, etc -- so will the Jury.
I don't think HHJP will reel them in unless it impacts the forward momentum of the proceedings and justice. He knows the Defense has a mountain to surmount and the inevitable is inevitable.
The Defense and the A's are getting into very bad court room habits that if they don't stop it themselves it can only hurt them. IMO they need to self-police and act appropriately to reflect the seriousness of the proceedings, the loss of Caylee and, that it is a murder trial after all. Bad habits and antics will only serve to hurt themselves.
I think yer right... I mean, this was just a taste today. The judge already did his homework, yet patiently sat while the defense did their job. The judge isn't emotionally invested like we are (and others) but he wants a fair trial. I think he can smell what's coming and prepares himself. Kudos to judge.
