Us bloggers have to be validated by mainstream media (she says with tongue in cheek). The Orlando Sentinel has not only validated what readers at The Hinky Meter have been saying for quite some time now, but they’ve put it in a motion before the court. Today lawyers for the Orlando Sentinel filed a Motion to Intervene in response to the defense’s SECOND run at trying to circumvent Florida’s Sunshine Law. Basically the Orlando Sentinel’s motion states what many have been saying here for some time: Not only does the Defense team repetitively file motions that are inadequate from a legal standpoint, but they appear to be suffering from some strange form of mass “File-a-holism”. They just can’t stop filing inane, frivolous motions.
The defense’s Notice of Standing Objection was filed on August 24th. In this notice the defense team claimed that the release of such important documents as:
- commissary orders, and
- visitation logs were…
causing prejudice against their client and poisoning the jury pool. We should not have been surprised seeing as Baez gave us a preface with his bizarre statement in court a few weeks back about how Casey needing a new bra was prejudicing us all. (He did not offer a legal opinion on whether Cindy needing one has the same effect.) Of course, in their notice they reference no case law, which is a sure symptom of File-a-holism, but we’ve come to expect that and no longer are disappointed. We just nod our heads like great aunts do when they see a nephew hitting the spiked eggnog a little too hard at Christmas time.
This is the crux of what the Orlando Sentinel’s objection was to the defense’s notice:
Crackers and cocoa do not a prejudice make.
Then they came in with an upper cut to complete the one-two punch with…
Being a high-profile case does not make the Florida Sunshine Law LESS applicable, it makes it MORE applicable.
And those dirty rotten scoundrels even quoted case law to back it. Drats! Foiled again! Then they were kind enough to give instructions to Baez and company on how to properly object to the Florida Sunshine Law. I thought that was pretty darned decent of them.
I just wanted to state for the record: I did NOT report on crackers and cocoa; I did NOT report on “shift of blame”; and I did NOT report on freakazoid meeting with a shrink…so it can’t possibly be my fault.
So my wish for you in the interim is…may your muffins be moist, your crackers be dry, your cocoa be warm and your 15,000 ponytail holders be sufficient to keep you from coming undone until such time as we reach “last call” on the motions. I bet Baez orders a double.
Valhall.
