I was watching the trial when the Defense attorney dropped it on the court that the defense was resting its case.
Keep in mind the defense had told the court they were going to call more than 80 witnesses. The defense had only called about 25 witnesses when they dropped this bombshell.
Needless to say, the Judge was livid and read the Defense Lawyers the riot act.
And by the way, the Taxpayers of Florida are paying this team of at least Defense Lawyers.
And by the way, the Taxpayers of Florida are paying this team of at least SIX Defense Lawyers.
The judge is out of line.
Likely looking to force a deal by wearing down the prosecution. This is the epitome of “zeal within the bounds of the law”. Sounds a little like a cat fight between the female defense counsel and the female judge.
