Casey Anthony Digs

Dave and I went on a totally awesome trip to the courthouse today - along with several other folks from the church.  One of our members who is a judge, set up the day for us.  Not only did we hear from four of the judges who attend our church but we got to pal around with Belvin Perry.

In case you've been in outer space or otherwise occupied the last couple of years, he was the judge for the Casey Anthony case.  And he's a rock star among judges.

But don't feel bad if you didn't watch every minute of the six week Anthony trial because I didn't watch any of it. 

The Casey Anthony trial was the most widely broadcast trial in history.  The courtroom in which it took place is the most technologically advanced on the planet.  One camera focused entirely on Casey because folks around the planet wanted to see her facial reactions at all times.

One of the reasons our trials are so popular is because Florida has the most open court policy in the nation.  Everything is public.  The media loves us. (Remember the Casey Anthony "hot body" contest that went viral?)



By the way, this is Belvin Perry's chair.  But that's not Belvin Perry in it.
