Judge in Anna Nicole Smith Case Needs to Be Replaced Immediately: He's Worse than the OJ Simpson Judge

The judge in Florida who is in charge of handling where Anna Nicole Smith is buried is a cowboy and needs to be replaced.

CourtTV was shaking it's head in confusion this morning over what the judge was allowing the attorneys to say, and refusing to rule on a single objection that was raised as the various motions were filed. He's also talking more about himself than he is the case. Who cares about his college career and his job as a substitute teacher?

It's not his job to educate the TV audience in the finer points of Florida custody law; he knows what the law is; the attorneys do too; that is his audience.

His sole job is to rule on where Anna Nicole is buried; the paternity issue for Smith's infant daughter is being handled by another court but he wants to rule on that too and attempted to take jurisdiction over the California case, setting up a jurisdiction battle with the court in California.

In my opinion, this type of showboating hasn't been seen since Judge Ito's clumsy handling of the OJ Simpson murder trial in California.

Someone needs to take charge in that Florida court room; the judge sure isn't.
