From what I've read, one reason could be prosecutorial misconduct, which is certainly not the case here!<br /><br />Dr. Spitz testified at the Phil Spector trial about his fees, and they were quite hefty. Spitz said on the stand that he did not bill the prosecution. That does not mean, however, that he might have received a hefty retainer back in '08 when Casey still had money.ritanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798894468241676294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-60272710470215028042011-06-21T03:16:24.857-07:002011-06-21T03:16:24.857-07:00People kep asking about mistrials.

When Judge Perry asked JA and JB to turn around and read the time on the wall clock, I nearly died laughing.<br /><br />How fascinating that Nancy Grace dug up Vince Dimaio to comment about Spitz and that Dimaio made a sensible answer. <br /><br />Remember that circa 1960 Dimaio's father was Chief Medical Examiner for the City of New York. Vince was sent to train under Spitz in Baltimore, because Dimaio Senior had selected Mike Badden as his protege. Following Dimaio's training with Spitz in Baltimore, Vince took a job in the Baxer County (San Antonio) Texas ME office. Soon Vince headed that office until things started to unravel not so long before the Phil Spector I trial.<br /><br />Also interesting was that after Dr G finished her fellowship in forensic pathology in Maimi she worked under Vince Dimaio for ten years.<br /><br />So, Vince Dimaio was caught between a rock and a hard place. For once today he made the sensible response.<br /><br />At the time of Spector I, Linda Kenny Badden was part of a traveling training outfit which included Spitz, Dimaio, Mike Badden, Ceril Wecht and Henry Lee who trained attorneys on the presentation of expert witnesses.CC Adams, PhDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-51824440767725416152011-06-20T20:22:26.910-07:002011-06-20T20:22:26.910-07:00Can anyone explain HOW a mistrial called by Judge ...Can anyone explain HOW a mistrial called by Judge Perry could result in double jeopardy, thereby causing the defendant to walk FREE?<br /><br />It is glaringly obvious that the defense is digging in their heels and pushing for a mistrial!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-8978400178473672322011-06-20T19:49:35.825-07:002011-06-20T19:49:35.825-07:00I love it Pathgirl ;);).

I though had to laugh tonight as on DR DREW they had a forensic anthropologist on and he said something interesting. If the tape was applied after decomposition then there would b no tissue matter left, according to Dr Spitz, so how did the tuft of hair stay with the skull in the back!! My thoughts exactly, that back piece of hair stayed attached to the skull because of the duct tape!! So that Spitz can say what he wants but at his age his mind does not work well so I think he is cranky as people r questioning his crap :):)<br /><br />Stephanie SanderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-8502234502933612662011-06-20T19:27:55.000-07:002011-06-20T19:27:55.000-07:00Tonight, Nancy Grace had Dr. Vincent Dimaio on her...Tonight, Nancy Grace had Dr. Vincent Dimaio on her show. Remember him? He criticized Dr. Werner Spitz by saying, "When he opened the skull he found nothing. What's his complaint?"<br /><br />Spitz and Dimaio were on the same side in the Spector trials. Tonight Dimaio was criticizing Spitz. <br /><br />Speaking of Werner Spitz, his finest hour was when he testified for the plaintiffs in the O.J. Simpson wrongful death civil trial. Fred Goldman's attorneys needed a famous medical examiner and obtained the services of Dr. Spitz. He held firm on cross against Simpson's lawyers. <br /><br />It helped that Spitz had the facts on his side in the Simpson civil trial.<br /><br />David In TNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-80240425702164772282011-06-20T18:28:13.916-07:002011-06-20T18:28:13.916-07:00They had CNN on in the break room at work and LK B...They had CNN on in the break room at work and LK Baden was on talking about how Dr. Spitz masterfully handled Mr Ashton on Saturday.

I am so AMAZED and SCARED at the same time as to kc's fate. It seems like she might walk. But I am also thinking how can the jury do that and live with themselves?? One thing though Rita, today I was watching Vinnie Politan and he had MISS BADEN on. He asked her SPECIFICALLY how can baez PROVE the things he is saying. She of course fought back with mumbo jumbo!! She COULD NOT answer Vinnie on any point as to the PROOF!! No in the end she just fought back with I can not wait to hear about George's phone records!! I remember her on Nancy Grace at the beginning spouting how kc was GUILTY AS SIN!! How can she now show her face PROUDLY supporting the Defence?? I mean yes she worked for them but then after a certain time she QUIT!! So if she was SO 110% SURE about kc being INNOCENT y did she not stay to represent?? Just find it funny how Vinnie had quite good questions...how WILL baez PROVE the MOLEST, GEORGE FINDING CAYLEE DROWNED and EXPLAIN AWAY ROY KRONK GETTING THE BODY AND PUTTING IT IN THE WOODS?? I wonder how that will come to play?? They do have to PROVE that if they are using that is their defense do they not Rita??<br /><br />Also have u noticed how George will not look at kc and looks so sad when the info is talked about in court but yet Cindy gets on the stand on Saturday and when done her sobbing and such gets off the stand and mouths to kc I LOVE U. REALLY?? I dunno how she can say that after what kc has come out with in court. Just a shame what kc has done to her daughter and her family. Even her brother is quite pissed with her and not buying her crap anymore!!<br /><br />Stephanie SanderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-91104864573491890062011-06-20T16:46:00.877-07:002011-06-20T16:46:00.877-07:00A mistrial is no boon to the defense either.

But nothing he has done comes up to the big toe of Judge Perry compared with Baez, with whom he's "had it up to here and beyond."<br /><br />Perry is bending over backwards to avoid a mistrial and so is the prosecution. But now, in the middle of the trial, the ante has been upped tremendously!<br /><br />We all know that Baez was the main target of the judge's comments. For the most part, he tosses in the prosecution to appear fair and to avoid the issue on appeal.<br /><br />Baez has a history of hiding things from the prosecution (check out the Nilton Diaz case). <br /><br />Right now, with the defense in a shambles, Baez is scraping the sides of the barrel to get in anything he can... under the table.<br /><br />Shari, I haven't really thought about the goal of going for a mistrial seriously until today. <br /><br />Judge Perry has, even under all the pressure, worked hard to avoid a mistrial.

The Judge even made it seem that both attorneys might be referred to the Florida Bar Association. Is it common for a judge to berate both laywers then hone in on the guilty one? (It sort of reminds me a workplace when a boss berates all of the employees rather zeroing in on the specific employee/employees who need the talking to.)<br /><br />To me, it seems clear that it is JB who is the one who is doing it and clearly in violation of the judge's rulings.

They were disrespectful to the court and forced Judge Perry to issue even more strict rulings about the reports.<br /><br />I'm sure the prosecution has played around with this a bit, but probably out of utter frustration in dealing with a lawyer who scoffs at the rules.ritanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798894468241676294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-91196121424511335692011-06-20T11:49:44.381-07:002011-06-20T11:49:44.381-07:00I hope Judge Perry gets Jose for contempt.

He, Baez, doesn't think he's wrong - his ego is so huge that he isn't even willing to moderate his behavior in court. He will go down, because the Florida Bar Association is NOT going to let him taint their whole organization.<br /><br />And he cannot cause a mistrial because it is NOT due to the court's actions, but his and his alone. Further, his client cannot claim 'ineffective' counsel because he is a sleezy, disrespectful, cheater... and she has others who could stand up (Mason if he was not lacking spinal cords) and take action.<br /><br />Casey case will suffer for this, but guess what? I don't think Baez really cares... he cares about Baez and using Casey to scramble to fame and fortune. And that sadly, doesn't warrant a mistrial either.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265922352726668243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-68461189209298862622011-06-20T09:14:37.332-07:002011-06-20T09:14:37.332-07:00Even though I watch the trial, I always check in t...Even though I watch the trial, I always check in to your blog to get your take on things.
