Why The Casey Anthony Trial Was Stopped -- My Theory

Judge Belvin Perry Jr. recessed the Casey Anthony trial until Monday morning. Speculation is rife. Some people say that it could mean a plea is in the offing. Other explanations could be witness tampering or lawyer misconduct. Other pundits say that perhaps the prosecution has come up with direct evidence that Casey's mom, Cindy Anthony has perjured herself. They are all possibilities.

However, my main theory is that defense attorney Jose Baez will be asked to leave the case, and will face sanctions from the court for misconduct in not providing proper discovery disclosure to the prosecution. As a result, lawyer Cheney Mason, pictured above, will be named the lead attorney for the defense.

Jose Baez has conducted an extremely poor defense. In addition, he has recently had his Florida home repossessed.

Whatever the reason, this doesn't bode well for this trial, opening the door for grounds for appeal or perhaps even a mistrial.
