On the date of November 27, 2000, I visited the Hillsborough county Courthouse and witnessed the Thirteenth District Circuit Court of Florida in its proceedings. The case was the State of Florida v. Michael Canady and his honor that presided over the case was Judge William Fuente. The case was called at 10:30 AM and opened with the Judge splitting the charges against the defendant. The defendant was charged with a count of second-degree possession of cannabis with …showed first 75 words of 742 total…

…showed last 75 words of 742 total…may have had an unspoken bias against firearms. This concluded the jury selection process. Trial was set for 8:00 AM November 2! 8,2000. Court then recessed for lunch. I was very impressed by the prosecution for his example of the husband and wife. It even surprised me with his outcome. The DA was not very impressive and a got a feeling that the jurors were annoyed by him. Overall the prosecutor made the experience worth it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
