No one made her reset the case that long. I put the blame regarding the delay squarely on the shoulders of the Judge. No one else controls that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298837746880587541.post-46922911536246351852009-03-28T15:50:00.000-05:002009-03-28T15:50:00.000-05:00I think you are one of the few that actually under...I think you are one of the few that actually understands this. Of course, Mr. Whitfield is harmed. Nevertheless, everyone's focus is on the prosecutors who, purposefully or negligently, brought this upon themselves. Despite the fact that the prosecutors may be devastated in their careers, which is sad, Mr. Whitfield cannot decide what time to wake up, eat, bathe, shave, etc. The prosecutors are still afforded that opportunity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298837746880587541.post-66932265502690909752009-03-28T14:23:00.000-05:002009-03-28T14:23:00.000-05:00Thank you for your comment.I would only point out ...Thank you for your comment.<BR/><BR/>I would only point out that Judge Barr did not make any of the strikes in question and that, upon being presented the opportunity to provide a race-neutral reason for strking the African-American jurors, the prosecutors could not do so.<BR/><BR/>I have worked with both prosecutors and find them to be very able attorneys. This situation has more to do, I believe, with the culture of the HCDAO during the prior regime(s).Paul B.
