Nancy Eaton Murder

Ask The Judge: Mistrial, Alternate Jurors

Editor's Note: As part of ongoing extended coverage of the Casey Anthony trial, WESH 2 News legal analyst Judge O.H. Eaton Jr. is answering questions about the case. Do you have a question you would like Eaton to answer? Click here to send it via email. Please include your name and city.

Casey's Competency

Dear Judge Eaton: Why would the defense wait until this late in the trial to claim that Casey Anthony may not be competent to stand trial? Do you think this is some kind of defense strategy or would you believe this is a way of preparing her to take the stand? -- Kathleen, St. Cloud, Fla.

Something must have happened Saturday to make the defense concerned about her competency. -- Judge O.H. Eaton

Hung Jury On Specific Counts?

Dear Judge Eaton: Since there are several counts, can the jury be hung on the first-degree murder and then guilty on another – of does it end if they are hung on the first charge? -- Elise

The jury will have four choices on the murder charge: first-degree murder, second-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and manslaughter. If the jury cannot agree on any of these, a mistrial will be declared as to that count. The jury can convict on other charges, find the defendant not guilty or be unable to come to a decision. -- Judge O.H. Eaton

Sunshine Law & Sealed Documents

Dear Judge Eaton: With Florida having the Sunshine Law, I was wondering the criteria for getting something sealed like Judge Perry did Saturday? -- Brenda

The Sunshine Law has to do with public bodies such as county commissions, city councils or school boards. These bodies are not allowed to make decisions except during a duly noticed public meeting. It does not apply to the legislative or the judicial branch. However, the judicial branch has been operating in the public for hundreds of years. Court records are generally public records. However, sensitive documents such as mental examination results can be sealed, which means they cannot be viewed by the public without a court order. -- Judge O.H. Eaton

Death Penalty

Dear Judge Eaton: The state prosecutors decided to pursue the death penalty against Ms. Anthony in the event that she is convicted of the crime of first-degree murder. Is this decision one that could have been challenged by way of judicial review in the supervisory courts?

In Loving Memory Of

NANCY L. EATON

Aug. 9, 1951 – June 14, 2001

Nana in heaven, I miss you,

I love you, it’s so hard to be without you. Every day you’re on my mind; the only thing I remember is you were so kind. Mommy tells me stories of what you would always do.

I still can’t get through without you. I know you’re always

with me but yet so close, but so far away. I love you Nana.

Rest in peace, Lydia, age 11

Aug. 9, 1951 – June 14, 2001

A death so unexpected

left us all deeply effected.

Time cannot erase our grief, but fond memories offer us

relief. Best friend, mother and grandmother, so strong and independent like none other. Memories live with us in so many ways; we will miss her presence all of our days.

With all our love, Dee-Dee, Wade, Nikolas, Lydia, BreeAnna, Ken,

Zane and Gavin

The Bangor Daily News encourages comments about stories, but you must follow our terms of service .

In brief: Keep it civil and stay on topic No vulgarity, racial slurs, name-calling or personal attacks. People who harass others or joke about tragedies will be blocked.

The primary rule here is pretty simple: Treat others with the same respect you'd want for yourself. Here are some guidelines ( see more ):

Don't insult one another or the subjects of BDN stories. You may be ticked off at what someone did or said, but you can explain that without resorting to name-calling or obscenity. Remember that young people are on this site too. That nasty line that makes your buddies go "haw, haw"? You're better than that. Comments should be your own work, not copied and pasted from elsewhere, though brief quoted passages to make your point are fine. And please don't use all capital letters. There's no need to shout. Stay focused on the issue in the article, not the individuals and their various failings. This isn't a forum to chat about your personal life. However, if you'd like to start a blog about your Maine neighborhood, please stop by Maineville.com and get started. Some ideas - the fate of the earth, abortion, gun control, the nature of God - aren't going to be resolved in a reader forum, so no need to get frustrated if others don't see your point of view. State your position once and leave it at that. Next to each comment is a link marked "Report abuse." Please use it if you feel comments on the site are out of line. Quite often, we won't see a comment until it's reported. Questions about why a comment was - or wasn't - deleted?
