Notes from Emergency Hearing, Judge denies all motions except one, for now

Judge Strickland has denied motions in the Emergency Hearings except for the Second Autopsy, which will be decided upon the finalization of the primary autopsy.

Judge Strickland stated that he cannot tell Law Enforcement what to do, when they are investigating a murder case. A murder has been committed and to do their investigation, law enforcement has to do whatever they can do to determine any evidence they can find. They may have to disrupt the crime scene if need be to collect any evidence found and law enforcement has their own protocol that they follow as they go about this.

Strickland stated that he heard of the defense being at the crime scene over the weekend and this could have caused law enforcement work harder, longer, and more diligently, than they already were. seemed to be a shot by Strickland at defense team for visiting the site.

Strickland also said this is an unusual case, however he can not bend the rules for this particular one. When forensics is finished with the crime scene, the defense will be allowed to do further investigating.

Link for Live Stream of Emergency Hearing

Click above post title for link or you may click HERE.

There should be a blue banner at the top of the page with "Watch Live". If not, it will be clearly posted.

It has occurred, however, that the hearings were not carried via live stream, even when stated it would be. This could have been due to media error, server error, etc. If the streaming changes and the news channel knows ahead of time, they will update post to reflect. If I hear of any changes, I will post as well.

I recommend going to the site about 5 minutes before hearing begins.

Motions for Emergency Hearing to Be Held Tuesday

Below are links to motions filed by Baez on Monday, December 15, 2008, for the emergency hearing scheduled for 2 pm EST today.

Preserve Evidence Motion


Second Autopsy Motion


Motion to Compel Photographs, Video Recording, and Schematic Drawings Motion




My two cents:

This last motion to compel photographs, schematic drawings, and video recordings taken at the crime scene, is just a continuation of Friday's Emergency Hearing and Baez's "crying game".

Here's a thought... ask Casey what it looked like when she dumped poor Caylee's body there.

On second thought, you probably won't get anything out of her either.
