Media Outlets Appeal Judge's Order In Casey Case
"Snip" Updated: 6:52 am EDT May 4, 2011

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Several Florida media outlets appealed a decision by Judge Belvin Perry in the case against Casey Anthony late Tuesday afternoon.


Perry indicated at Monday's hearing that an appeal could open the door for the defense to delay the start of Casey's trial.


"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what they would be asking for in this case, which is a delay followed by a gag order not to talk to anyone about the case," said WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer.


Perry wants to keep the location a secret until one hour before jury selection begins. The 5th District Court of Appeal must decide if Perry has the power to block that information.

"Casey Anthony’s attorney, Cheney Mason, revealed in an interview with “In Session” he follows blogs covering the murder case. Cheney didn’t hold back in his interview, even stooped to name calling. The attorney ,who lost credibility by flip flopping about Casey’s guilt, called bloggers idiots."

Casey Anthony trial: Three appeal judges review media's petition for jury selection notification

Several media outlets appealed Judge Belvin Perry's ruling, which could delay the start of the Casey Anthony trial.

Three Florida appeal judges are reviewing a petition filed by several media outlets who oppose Chief Judge Belvin Perry's order related to the public notification of where Casey Anthony's jury will come from.

Joanne Simmons, spokeswoman for Florida's 5th District Court of Appeal, said today that the circuit received the petition Tuesday night, and it has been assigned to judges William Palmer, Jacqueline Griffin and Kerry Evander.

Simmons said the judges are reviewing the petition and there has been no request for oral arguments.

The judges are aware of the time-sensitive nature of the appeal, but cannot predict when a decision will be made, Simmons said.

Perry issued a confidentiality agreement to the media Tuesday, saying that in releasing such information in advance, "the Court is apprehensive that the new locale would be inundated with media coverage which would thereby again cause concern with the defendant's sixth amendment right to obtaining a fair and impartial jury."

How Casey Anthony judge plans to handle protesters

http://www.baynews9.com/article/new...hony-judge-plans-to-handle-protesters?cid=rss
The judge is expected to issue orders Wednesday about how the public can get a seat at the trial, as well as rules for those protesting at the Orange County Courthouse.

The court knows protesters are going to show up. They were all over the Anthony family's east Orange County neighborhood, at the crime scene where the remains of Casey's daughter, Caylee, were found, and even at the 2-year-old's memorial service.
 
Jose Baez says Casey Anthony case will not define him
Baez says the defense is prepared for trial


http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news...hispanic-journalists-20110504,0,7738876.story

On the eve of the Casey Anthony trial, though, Baez largely avoided specific questions about the case. He did say that the defense team -- as well as the prosecution – is well-prepared and ready to begin the much awaited trial.

He maintained he is committed to the case, but insisted his career will not be defined by the Casey Anthony case.

"To define my career – I still say no," he told the group of reporters gathered inside the restaurant. "And I say that because I will move on to other cases. This is not my last case."

As for the appeal filed by several media outlets to gain permission to report where jurors will come from, Baez would only say that's between the media and Judge Belvin Perry.

Barring any delay because of the appeal, jury selection in Casey's murder trial is set to start on Monday.

Ed. Note: WESH is one of the media organizations appealing the decision.
