Judge Falls Through Own Loop Hole?

Decisions, decisions, decisions....
Looks like a decision came Friday, no bitch slapping like I had hoped, but interesting none the less. Judge Perry's confidentiality agreement, in which he would have liked to have media outlets sign, and agree not to release information regarding the where abouts of the jury pool until the day before jury selection begins, became null and void on Friday. No confidentiality agreement will stand, however......Judge Perry now does not have to tell the media where he will be finding his jury from until the morning of the 9th, the same day jury selection begins. Careful what you ask for, media hounds. You could have had this information one whole day earlier, if you would have simply agreed to the confidentiality agreement. It no longer matters where the media gets their information, whether through the courts or their own independent source, they won't be getting it any earlier than the rest of the world.

Strange.......
Unless I am reading into this wrong, it would appear that the Anthony's, (George and Cindy), will be allowed to sit in the court room during the trial. They are witnesses to the case and the defense (as well as I am sure the prosecution) is slightly concerned about what they may observe and listen to before testifying themselves. But there really was no other suitable answer for this motion. The Anthonys are not only witness, but first and foremost, the parents of the defendant and the family of a murder victim. Keeping them away from any portion of this trial would be an injustice in itself.

Tell Me Why, I don't like Mondays......
Forget about it, Mondays are going to be exciting again. The trial is on schedule and Monday marks the beginning of jury selection. We are getting close, folks.
