Casey Anthony Judge Threatens Mistrial

Casey Anthony trial Judge Belvin Perry scolded both defense attorney Jose Baez and prosecutor Jeff Ashton today for repeated violations of court rules of evidence.

Perry even hinted at the possibility of a mistrial, saying that he will exclude key witnesses for the defense if they continue to present surprise opinions that neither the judge nor the prosecution is aware of beforehand. Those exclusions could result in a mistrial on grounds that the defendant, Casey Anthony, did not receive due process of law.

Chicago criminal defense lawyer Tamara Holder says the defense isn't doing a very good job of creating doubt for the jury.

It will probably go to a mistrial in my opinion.
