A Wise Man, a Dutchman and a Fool: The Casey Anthony Trial

Excerpt:

Jose Baez is probably wondering why he didn't become a fireman or librarian or anything but a criminal defense attorney after surviving Tuesday in the courtroom. Anything would have been better than having a judge, a prosecutor and a witness make him look foolish in the presence of the court and the world. It should temper his natural arrogance but I doubt that it will.

Baez began the day being chastised by Judge Belvin Perry for intentional violation of court orders. Any opinions from his expert witness, Netherlands DNA expert Richard Eikelenboom, regarding decomposition fluid were excluded from being introduced into the courtroom. The judge left the door open for the defense to file a request a Frye hearing to reconsider the admissibility of that information and allowed Eikelenboom to take the stand to testify on other matters.
