Caylee/Casey Anthony Trial: Perry Plan In Effect Prosecution Takes A Hit-”Not Race Neutral” Defense Strikes Dwindle
“Never Forget Almost Every Case is Won Or Lost When The Jury Is Sworn”
Clarence Darrow
Clearwater, FL- This Morning, the 8th day of jury selection Linda Drane Burdick, prosecuting attorney for the State v. Casey Anthony, renewed her argument to use their peremptory challenge to strike a female African American for cause, that she could not “judge others” for religious reasons.
Chief Judge Perry required Burdick to read back the transcript of the Vior Dire exchange, and held the state to task for the “brief questioning” of this juror as compared to the first juror, of over 3 hours. What he neglected to remember, was that immediately after that juror, the judge rebuked both sides that if this was going to take this long, he was going to speed them up whether they liked it or not.
Again, limited the vior dire questioning time for either the prosecution or defense is a reversible error. While the judge did not limit either side, the message was clear.
Attorney for the defense, Jose Baez, objected both procedurally and on the grounds he would wish to receive transcripts of other jurors questionings to respond. Translation: Rule my way or the cans of worms this is going to open will be gushing out the doors of this cavernous courtroom.
It did not even get that far.
Judge Perry decided to let his earlier ruling stand: The State did NOT provide the court with a “Race Neutral” reason for cause, and therefore would not be permitted to utilize it’s peremptory challenge, as to do so would be “discriminatory” and against the Florida Supreme Court .
Here is the problem- Can we say that under Melbourne- a true inquiry or finding as to the reasonableness and GENUINENESS of the State’s motive for wanting to strike the juror for race neutral reasons occurred?
Melbourne Excerpt
No way. A window to how this does not stack up, was Jeff Ashton’s last comment on the matter immediately following Judge Perry’s original ruling.
” .. Does the court not believe the state’s reasoning..?”
-Jeff Ashton
This juror was not the only African American on the panel, not the only woman, and at no time did Judge Perry say why the court did not believe the reasonable basis for the challenge was not racially neutral.
This is in contradiction to Melbourne, Murray, and Tillman v. State of Florida.
According to Judge Perry, he believed this juror’s original comments about an inability to be judging were “rehabilitated” during further exploration during the Vior Dire and said he will not be hearing any further objections as to cause. Mark my words, if there is a conviction in this case, we have just potentially seen the first reversible error.
By the afternoon, after calling back the 11 that have been retained, Judge Perry announced that he will be swearing them in as soon as they hit the magic dozen, and no further backstrikes will be permitted.
Jose Baez offered an objection to the way the Judge was conducting the Vior Dire in the first place, citing his crystal ball cannot see whether or not he may want to strike any of the ” nearly empaneled” jurors without getting through all the potentials and does not want them “selected”.
Judge Perry followed what I will call the lenta spicula rule advising him they have had ample time to raise the issue, DENIED.
After some accidental “hot” microphone activity, Judge Perry leaves the courtroom to speak to the “first 11″, presumably sending them home, “Perry Style.” They are due to report tomorrow at 1 PM.
Another straight day of jury selection, the count of retained jurors that have not been stricken, but MAY be subject to backstrikes from either side tomorrow, is 11. I can actually now smell the 8th coat of virtual beige paint I have been watching dry. (blink ignores twitch in her right eye)
On the day originally slated to begin opening arguments in the trial, Casey’s parents had a “beginning” of their own.
Mark Lippman, attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, announced they are going to file to trademark Caylee’s name, and the phrase “Justice for Caylee”. The above image was captured after Casey read a note written to her by Ann Finell, one of Casey Anthony’s defense counsel, potentially giving her the news, and occurred moments after appearing on The Orlando Sentinel.
Over and Under says the opening arguments begin Monday May 23rd.

this spectator that disrupted the Anthony juror selection sounds & looks truly unbalanced & IMO should be under suicide watch while they have her in custody..
As a temporary FL resident, I’ve come to the conclusion that the official state motto should be:
“All the loose marbles roll down to Florida”.
ROTFL.
So needed that Sammy.

Make no mistake about it, the defense would not have asked for the PJ on the stand during the outburst to be excused had it been a juror that they wanted. She had spoken of how very sad she was about the death of this child, and the DT did not even question her on media exposure. They would have used a strike on her eventually if they couldn’t have challenged for cause. (I still am unclear on the number of backstrikes JP is allowing for alternates. One per number of alternates??? If so, four alternates would equal 8 strikes allowed, would equal we are still a long way from seating a jury plus alternates.)
That said, I think Perry could have kept that PJ, but he is the judge and probably did the most prudent thing. Surely an unstable woman’s opinion shouted out in court would not affect the PJ’s ability to hear the case and make a decision based on the facts.

You never fail BOC! Thank you for sharing your gift with us <3
@ chelsea…..my dear friend….you are in my heart.
@ chica…thank you for being the fire cracker you are. How you make me smile.
As one poster stated @ the great hinky meter….
Just. Us. For. Caylee!!!!!
Sorry sorry sorry….
CHELSEA!!! LMBO…I was just telling my momma about JP. I was telling her how his ‘th’ is ‘f’. It is precious. Isn’t it so stinkin endearing?
I love that this man is not perfect and so loveable. His journey inspires that we have choices and we can make the best of the rise after the fall.
@ Gypsy….
I want to see the Anthony’s trademark move the way you do. When I read they wanted an account of the profits made from Caylee’s name, I couldn’t help but think these 2 are still finding ways to cash in. They are as lazy as Casey and after 3 years, they have no reason to be productive members of society.
I can’t lie…I hope that your analysis is the correct one. You are the epitome of good heartedness, friendy. <3
I don’t think Judge Perry’s pronounciation is a speech impediment. I think it’s a dialect. Too many of the “colored kids” I grew up with in school had similar pronounciation for it to have been an imperfection. This does not, of course take away from the sentiment that the sound of it is attractive.
In addition I find the timbres of his speech musical. What a gift to us all; his exposure in the media.
I adore this guy. I think even more because he says “pacific” for specific. He is beyond charming for me.
I cannot wait to hear him and Dr. Vass kibbitz.

If I were a suspicious person (ahem…) I would think the accused is communicating with her mother via the attorneys’ electronics today and other days.
JMO, I believe the her mother has been and still is actively and willingly involved in the defense.
At 4:14pm Court Time it looked like the accused did a “knock on wood” on the table while talking with the young lawyer EF.
Unflippinbelievable.
ragdoll
hiya! I cannot wait for the day that casey is found guilty and baez is disbarred.
justice for caylee will prevail. I wished that the anthonys would get charged with something. I also wish that those she cindy has slandered will!!sue her biggtime. and there are many!! Not only is she full of boloney but I want to see her eat plenty of it.!!
chelsea
hiya ! I am still kicking! sitting here looking like phylis diller!! I have had to replace my keyboard!and mouse wore them out !! from pounding on the keyobard and dragging that mouse around as if it was caseys mop of hair (ponytail)
and I am sure before this is all over there will be more parts needing replaced.
by the time trial is over! I may need to be baker acted!! I am sure my nieghbors wonder who in the hell I am yelling at!! lol my neighbors run into me in the elevator and they ask ! me where have I been!! since I only come out in the evening. all I can say is !! you dont even want to get me started!! come evening I fall into bed eshaused !! feeling like I just worked a 16 hr day!!
my pajamas and I are not stranger’s! lol my hair brush and I are!
I hear geraldo is saying mean things about the prosecution!! calling them vile names. I just wonder how come he is allowed to carry on like this. I would think it would be embarassing to fox where he works. the man has no class! like his friend baez!!
I think its so funny that nancy grace is realy making him and casey look bad with their little lovers spats.
I hope that the end of today brings us closer to justice and the selection of all the jurors.
lmao to myself here! pretty common these days! scarry huh! anyways laughing at how padilla tries to insert himself into nancy grace with her help. I find it funny that he was not chosen to be a witness for the state or the defense.
yet he thinks he can call it for what it is. today when that lady had that outburst! I thought for a minute tjhat it was joy wray! by the end of this trial I will be as nutty as that poor soul!!!
its bad enough I talk to myself but than I answer myself!!
all I can is

Off to bed, having terrible dreams though! Keep dreaming I have to do Casey Anfony’s type up of her notes!!! As fast as I do it, they bring another load so that I can’t get to the Court and am missing out on events. I woke up really frustrated and bad tempered; me and Mr C are going to fall out before this is all over. I must stop reading the blogs where everyone comments on the amount of writing she is doing. Wonder why she wasn’t a perfect student at school, she is so diligent with her written work!
Hey Blink and all, we have a Jury! 12/5 alt. – outburst lady will be out of jail in time to get to orlando – WOW what a day! it’s finally happening Caylee …
chica, you are such a breath of fresh air and so appreciatively funny!
Hallelujah . . . we have a jury.
Jury selection is over- 12 jurors 5 alternates-
The trial of Casey Anthony for the first degree murder of her two year old toddler Caylee Anthony begins on Tuesday.
http://www.wftv.com/news/27970154/detail.html
Since they were only able to seat 5 alternates- what if more than 5 have to be removed or get sick?…Will the trial start all over from the beginning? Rulings and everything?
Technically- if more than 5 are removed, it could result in a mistrial.
It’s all good, here we go Miss Caylee
B
I dont know if I can make it another 8 weeks
I feel like my rear is falling asleep from sitting too long yet I cannot move away from the computer
I guess in 8 weeks I will be as wide as I am tall but anything to have Justisse ( I spelled it wrong purposely) for Caylee
Thank you Blink for all you do. You are BRILLIANT and I have to say Val is as well. If it were not for the two of you and your sites I dont know what I would do
Thank you so so much
How kind, thank you.
I thought given my schedule, my 4G would be helpful to stay connected “real time”. It has given me an opportunity to throw it where I would not have, that is where I am.
Therefore, let’s all take a mental break for a few and “center”.
I want a conviction, but I want if fairly, and “cleanly”.

I agree, exactly what I thought.
Chelsea- I could listen to JP speak all day long…..I also adore the way he says bitness (business). I love how compassionate he is. A true gentleman!
Blink- “here we go Miss Caylee” gave me chills.
O this baby of ours, she is on our collective shoulders.
Yes, I wrote what I heard in my head today when my phone was ringing off the hook in the middle of the swear-in.
I answered nobody, I knew I was watching the start of “the end” of some of the hardest work we, and you have put forth.
It is my sincere prayer we stay focused on how best to restore Caylee’s legacy.
How do we get the Casey’s of the world to know we love them enough for it to be ok, to make other choices.
It did not have to be, and for that, my heart is forever heavy for this baby, among many others.
B
Lord, God, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit; bring JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY! Amen.
Can’t wait until Tuesday!!
ok some pretrial thoughts–
I have been thinking about what we DON’T know evidence wise yet. The only things that I can think of are Dominic Casey and partial fingerprint on duct tape. Anyone else want to add to the list?? Maybe Blink??
wpg
aww thanks and yes helleluer” like media says!! come tuesday and for two months we are going to literaly ferment in our seats!! cant make wine there lol!!!
but oh I am so happy that finaly we will see justice for caylee!! I am too much xcited!!
I got my mom watching this tooo lol and people know it’s dangerous to knock on my door when this trials on!!
whats on the other side may not be to pleasant looking!! mind you I have long frizzy hair!!
Eloise
you may have a point there. She hap something on her lap!!
Jane
oh I know that feeling or lack of feeling on the buttocks!!
I am like in a comma sitting in front of my computer!!!

chelsea
I am cracking up getting a visual of your ironing piling up!! and the fridge stocked with boloney!!
when this trial is over many of will have to introduce ourselves to our families again
blink
I am so happy finaly this trial will began!!!
I too want a fair trial. Did you see the look on baez face after the and during the swearing in of the PJ’S
I dont think kc will hold it together during trial. Its not going to be like the jury selection. she will be dealing with seeing old friends and pics and evidence and bad things being said about her. I know the jurors will be watching her every reaction.
everyone have a great weekend!!
justice for caylee
Blink, technical question please. (when you have time)
I posted twice in succession this morning – but so far only (1) post made it thru moderation.
Just wondering if this might be b/c one I posted one from my usual MacBook, and the other I posted from my new toy (I Pad 2).
I don’t think that would make a difference, b/c both were still made from my home (same IP) – but a lot of the techy stuff escapes me.
Just wondering – but please no hurry. Just making sure I didn’t do something wrong.
It’s Friday night and I imagine you’d love to spend some time with your family.
btw, I read a few days ago you were teaching Blink Jr the intricacies of poker.
I taught sammy Jr. how to play Blackjack and 5/7 card draw not that long ago, and he now routinely beats me.
Made the mistake of starting him off with nickels + dimes – should have started him on poker chips or goldfish snacks instead.

Thank You for all you do!!
Blink thanks for the response.
I am with nosey- “here we go caylee” sent shivers-
I dont know how to help in restoring caylee’s legacy. If you lead I will follow. I am praying that the State will be able to speak for her, as I wholeheartedly believe she has been trying to be heard-
I hope the jury will be listening. I too want a fair and honest trial/conviction. And I do believe in mercy and want to make sure that Casey and other parents do understand that we care and there are other options.
” Pappa, Are you tired Pappa?” Will forever ring in my ears-
It has been almost 3 years since little Caylee’s voice has been silenced- may she speak loudly in the coming weeks, and may the truth be known.
AJMo
ps-Thanks Blink- and I hope you and your contributors will keep us up to date – as much as I would like to be able to watch each day- I know that is not an option.
yay baby girl it is time for you to shine! (tears coming now)

Diane is correct, there are many other Caylee’s who have died. Their memorial tributes are all over the net.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4TrAxbmyAc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IewzTuOdR9M&feature=fvsr
Indeed, in the three years since little Caylee’s death, folks have named their new babies Caylee in her honor.
I am all for the cease and desist letters, but trying to trademark the baby’s name is just as shameful as the other folks trying to profit. Two wrongs have never made a right, and that rule does not change just for Anthonyonics. It is THIS kind of crap that makes people have such an utter disdain for them. It does nothing to help their daughter. I liken it to the time Cindy announced to the media she was donating Caylee’s little shoes and the charity said no thank you, ma’am, we are appauled by you trying to make a photo op. We don’t want your shoes and we don’t want YOU here with us. Or the time Ron Cummings told mom and pop to take a hike, he opined that he felt they were there to get attention from the cameras and it made him sick to his stomach. If low life , trailer trash, dope dealer Ron Cummings throws you out…you really just don’t get it.
If they think the protesters were hard on them back then, wait until THEY try to profit off of Caylee’s name. Is nothing sacred to these people? That baby never had a chance in that house. All I can say, is Lee, grab your girl and get the hell outta Dodge before you have a baby!
Dear, dear friends,
We are successful in seating a jury. We have worked hard on this investigation. We know more than most people about the case. And the
Casey–who, Ms. Blink, would have needed our love and guidance in her early years (just as Caylee would have)if there was any hope of her
growing up whole.
Now, after a brief resting weekend, we will need to focus on the nuances of courtroom debate, for the purpose of a fair and just trial
of Inmate Casey Anthony. This is another opportunity to fly at 30,000 feet.
Thank you Blink. Thank you, Blinkers. (Not to mention the family and friends of the above.)
about the case and about ms. casey *
I just read this and was wondering if anyone saw this cause I didnt
Did Judge Perry address the defendant asking her if she approves of the jury and she said
With OUR objections Yes
Synopsis of all the Jurors
http://www.wftv.com/news/27970046/detail.html
Well everybody……I guess we can now say “game on”. Lets get this freak show on the road. I keep wondering just how much truth Casey really told her defense team. I can’t wait to see them make complete & total morons out of themselves (as if they haven’t already) trying to spin her garbage to this jury. As Judge Strickland so eloquently said “Miss Anthony & the truth are strangers”. Does anybody else think as I do that Casey – as narcissistic as she is – didn’t tell her defense team everything she should have, and it’s going to come back & bite them all in their collective azzes?
JUST US FOR CAYLEE!
We love you Caylee! I will never forget you.
Mom3.0…I will never, ever forget “Papa are you tired Papa?”. And we know what happened to her within the next 24 hours. My heart breaks.
I have such mixed emotions as we approach this final stage of Justice For Caylee. Part me me is mixed with dread at hearing all the evidence, how unloved this baby was and how so few people who actually knew this child have stepped up in her honor.
The other part of me is anxious to see justice served, so Caylee’s spirit can rest and be free.
Although…if my beliefs are correct – Caylee is already free and unburdened – and is loved more now than she ever was in this life. So, no matter the outcome, I can take rest and refuge in that knowledge.
May Justice prevail and all truth come to light.
Word Girl,
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
You rock! <3
Caylee, we’re about to slide to home base. This is for you and all our children who’ve suffered at the hands of another.
I cannot wait to meet y’all some sweet day.
May the highest good for all, prevail. <3
Thanks, Ragdoll. Ditto. Same for all the strong, passionate, devoted, and incredibly intelligent posters here. I heart you all.

Here are better notes at wftv:
http://www.wftv.com/news/27970046/detail.html
I’m wondering if we’ll get to see the juror’s faces during trial?
justice for caylee is soon approaching.
our long jury has been filled with many twists and turns and so much drama from the defense.
I wonder blink?
JP spent alot of time schooling baez, helping him from entering a no zone! will he do that at trial or will baez be on his own?
someone at scaredmonkey brought it up. I am sure you have read it. I hope he clips his wings and let’s him fly on his own.
and also blink !
who will do opening baez or mason? didnt baez promise that we would know in the first opening seconds! that casey is not guilty.
Isnt it so ironic that so many Potential jurors of course dismissed for cause!
thought she was guilty.
cherylz
I will never, ever forget “Papa are you tired Papa?”.

YESSSSSSSSSSS absolutely
Blink and friends
For so long!! casey has been the center of attention and in her sick mind!! she viewed it as stardom.
I am so happy that finaly! caylee will be the popular one! caylee’s name will be mentioned all day longgggggggg she will be the star of this show!! until justice is served. It will no longer be about casey it will be about caylee marie anthony the real CMA.
I am so happy that finaly we will see/hear all the state has against the inmate!! there is just too much overwhelming proof that casey acted alone to end the life of this precious baby. Casey stole the right for this little girl to ever again sing you are my sunshine to her grandfather !!! out of jealousy. she didnt want the burden of raising caylee it interfered with her traveling mattress business.
we have seen how narissistic and sociopathic she is.
we have seen the same from cindy… george… lee…. but most has been from the inmate and her mother.
I dont think baez will pull this off not even with the help of mason. I am just praying that she gets DP but if not LWOP will do nothing less would be an injustice to caylee..
justice for caylee
Jane – yes I saw it, I believe it is part 15 of the Jury selection videos on wftv http://www.wftv.com/video/27971245/index.html approx. 09.00 Baez stood with her when she replied to JBP and mouthed what her response should be.
I wanted to revisit Caylee singing and saying…papa are you tired… it seems like forever ago when I first heard it. I came across this link and thought it a beautiful tribute which I’m sure chica, ragdoll and many other Blinksters will appreciate. It reinforced my determination to support Justice for Caylee for as long as necessary.

The woman who yelled out in court showed way more emotion about caylee than Casey ever did !

IMO:
Teri, I can relate to your post. It is my belief Caylee is playing among the angels. All of this is behind her and her sweet spirit is rejoicing in Heaven.
However, she deserves justice and it can’t come soon enough.
Prayers for the Prosecutors for strength, wisdom, and knowledge and God be with them every step of the way as they are Caylee’s voice.
I mean no disrespect to those that do not share my belief, we are all here for the same reason.
I believe…Dedicated to Caylee. <3
aww chelsea
thanks I truly appreciate it. I cannot wait for tuesday!! I am so pumped up about this finaly happening.
Gypsy DD, regarding the trademark: great insight and very well written. I must admit that when I first read about the trademarking I thought “why are they trademarking ‘justice for Caylee’ because it seems all they are after is ‘justice for Casey’ “. After reading your post, I must admit that you softened my heart with your words and I am hopeful that they will finally show up for Caylee.
Ragdoll, oh my gosh….I laughed my ever growing a$$ off when I read that you say “I object” to your husband when he asks you how your day went….actually, I’m laughing about it right now as I type this!!
Blink, “here we go Miss Caylee”…smile on face, tears in eyes, contentment in heart.
Mom3.0, “Papa, are you tired Papa?”….ouch….so beautiful, yet painful.
I was able to watch a small portion of jury selection from Friday and got a little chuckle watching Linda Drane Burdick and Jeff Ashton in what appeared to be a little “work wife/work husband marital spat”. Mr. Ashton was attempting to give Judge Perry a potential juror’s jury number. He took a few seconds to look through his paperwork in an attempt to find it when LDB seemed to get a tad annoyed and said “I’ll do it”. Please don’t misinterpret what I’m saying…I admire them both greatly…it was quite endearing actually.
Btw Blink, quick question about Jeff Ashton…Is he an exceptionally tall man, or is everyone else very short?
I am so very proud today of the line we have towed for this baby. Any reader or contributor here or anywhere else that has committed their time and empathy in this case needs to stop reading this, and give themselves a pat on the back.
It matters. It SSSSOOOOOO matters.
I had to giggle at the work wife/work hubby line, it is so true, but I can also tell you, they have a deep respect for each other in that prosecutors office.
Jeff is about 6’2. But yes, in contrast, Baez is about 5’4″, Linda is 5’2″ .

Do you all realize that NO ONE in this family came close to pleading for Caylees life, NO ONE! Casey could have went in her front yard while on house arrest when Leonard Padilla bailed her out and pleaded to help find her daughter, she could have had Greta or Mark Fuhrman inside her house where it was safe to plead for her innocence or for her child, NEVER ONCE did we hear or see any tears for Caylee from Mizz Casey Anthony or any of the other Anthonys, not even from friends or her family? what the hell?
I sure hope the state brings this up in opening statements.
I pray to God that Casey has to plead to this jury for her life.
I have never felt this way before about any mother. How can she even dream about being free? How?
