JUDGE DENIES STATE'S REQUEST FOR PRIVATE MEETING

Late Wednesday afternoon, Judge Stan Strickland denied the state's request for a private meeting with him, but he did give the prosecution options (read order).

JUDGE'S ORDER: Grants Part, Denies Part Of Motion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Strickland wrote in his order that the state can submit a written motion explaining what information they want to keep private and how long they want to delay sharing it with Casey's defense team.

At that time, the judge will review their request again and make a final decision.

I think this judge is a GENIUS! So he denied the ex parte part but says they can send a SEALED motion? I suppose the defense cannot see the SEALED motion? If that's the case ... MISSION STILL ACCOMPLISHED! (IMO)

A judge in the Casey Anthony case ruled today he will review behind closed doors certain "materials and information" that have "come into the possession of law enforcement."

This comes after prosecutors requested to meet privately with Orange Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland to discuss the details. The judge denied meeting with them alone — but agreed to review the materials.

Strickland wrote in his order that the state can file a sealed request that explains why the judge should delay the release of the information to the defense and the public and how long that delay should last.

"We understand the courts directive and we will abide by them," said the State Attorney's Office spokesman Randy Means.
