Forget attorney, Jose Baez. Forget Casey Anthony. The real star of the never ending legal circus that dominated the holiday weekend is none other than Judge Belvin Perry, who, experts agree, could have a second career waiting for him as a television judge. "I can certainly see him becoming the next big TV judge," said attorney Joey Jackson, who has been covering the trial for Fox News.
After months of court proceedings, on Tuesday, Perry confirmed the jury's verdict that Anthony was not guilty of first degree murder -- a verdict that visibly outraged the celebrity Twitter community. But Perry's shocking ruling, although an unpopular one, may only further catapult him into the celebrity judge world. Guilty or not guilty, Perry stuck to his guns throughout the trial, keeping attorneys in line and holding them accountable, dealing with even the craziest aspects of the case with an even temperament and being patient, yet rigid, in moving the case forward.
Lawrence adds that Perry's hand gestures are already 'Saturday Night Live' parody ready. All he needs is a catch-phrase.
"Judge Judy has 'Don't pee on my shoes and tell me it's raining,'" Lawrence said. "He could have 'Let's get it done!'"Using a well-publicized trial to move from the real to the televised bench is not unprecedented. Judge Larry Seidlin, formerly of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Florida, famously tried to parlay his oversight of the Anna Nicole Smith body custody hearing into a gig on the small screen once the trial wrapped up. Seidlin has reportedly had several talks with Paramount productions but has yet to secure his own gig.
One Hollywood casting agent even told PopEater he tried to get a meeting with Perry but was told he would have to wait until the end of the trial -- but it looks like Perry's schedule just cleared up.
