Casey Anthony trial: Judge Perry threatens to fine squabbling attorneys
"A debate about what kind of scientific evidence will be allowed at Casey Anthony's trial developed into one of the most contentious courtroom battles yet in her murder case.
At one point this morning, Chief Judge Belvin Perry shouted at the attorneys, something he never does. "Just a second," he yelled. "Everyone be quiet."
Tension escalated today between defense attorney Jose Baez and Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton, prompting Perry to threaten to fine them if the battle continues...
He said to both Ashton and Baez that if their bickering and nasty comments and disrespect continues this afternoon, he will have them pay $100 each as a penalty.
"You're supposed to be seasoned lawyers,' Perry said. "I look for a certain level of professionalism. I've had enough of the back and forth between the two of you.' "
