is somehow going to muck this case up. I think he's in too much of a hurry. I read this from an espn article:
"
In another sign of the quick-step culture of the Richmond courthouse, Hudson told the lawyers he will select a jury in "a half a day." With enormous media coverage expected, coupled with the severity of the charges described in the indictment, two veteran Richmond defense lawyers -- both of whom have histories with Hudson -- thought it would take as much as a week to find 12 jurors who haven't already made up their minds on Vick.
"If Judge Hudson says a half a day, then it will be a half a day," one of them observed after the hearings.
"
I hope it doesn't happen, but with the kind of money Vick has, and his ability to pay umpteen laywers (he had 5 with him today) to find some kind of technicality, I can see this judge screwing this up because he has a reputation to uphold now that it's been reported how swift his court normally moves.
God, I hope that doesn't happen, but it makes me cringe to read something like that. Anyone else feel that way?
