We are disappointed that Baird will not release the case to Khouzam

Very disappointing, indeed.

Baird might not want to be removed, but he may have no choice, given the reports of an employeee betting pool, etc. and his previous comments. Jeb is appealing Baird's refusal to remove himself for bias, and until the appeals court rules...Baird's days on the Schiavo case may be numbered. Also, if Nelly Khouzam's asistant says Judge Khouzam will be handling the Schiavo case, does that mean Judge Khouzam has the case files? No surprise then that certain parties are squawking about this being a 'done deal.' I say, not so fast!

Baird may have made up his mind, but until the appeals court rules on Jeb's appeals for proper venue, Baird's alleged bias, and Jeb's right to take depositions, Schiavo vs. Bush remains undecided and I don't see why Judge Khouzam can't hear new motions, if she has taken over Baird's caseload.
