Day 9

Read into it all you want...everyone is. Today Judge Perry announced that he expects the trial of Casey Anthony to begin on Monday morning even if jury selection needs to finish on Saturday. He ideally would like to have several alternates but with 11 prospective jurors and time (and candidates) running out, he will settle for less than the ideal amount of alternates for the trial. Out of the 70 perspective jurors, there are about 17 left to question.

So it looks like Judge Perry is all business and determined to get this trial up and running and then after an extended lunch break, the judge announces that they will cut the day short and return 8:30 tomorrow morning!!

HUH???

Jose Baez was not in the courtroom when the judge announced this, Casey's other attorney, the more experienced Cheney Mason was and had no comment about this adjournment. Casey Anthony was crying as the judge made his announcement.

The speculation begins. Adjourning when they are behind in jury selection ?

Jose Baez says it is a "private" matter. Private to whom? 

Is there a plea deal in the works?

Is Casey Anthony having trouble with her attorneys?

Is Jose Baez having personal issues unrelated to Casey Anthony?

Is this a stall tactic on the part of the defense because the judge is hell-bent on starting the trial on Monday?

Why was Casey Anthony crying? The defense has been unhappy with the way jury selection is going. Both sides are not thrilled with the way the selection of the jury is going. Stalling the inevitable is ridiculous. Let's just get on with this already. Caylee Anthony deserves justice. It is long overdue.
