Casey/Caylee Anthony Case: Why we SO Care How Team Baez et al, is Getting Paid
Losing his round of judicial dodge ball has defense attorney to Casey Anthony muttering something about mincemeat. “Anonymous” from the State’s attorney’s office, who apparently takes their ethical responsibilities as an officer of the court seriously, filed a complaint against Baez, citing his own spokesperson’s words. Yep, Blink, we are all up to date on that, where ya going with this? Glad you asked. The actual video of Baez stating that Black does work for “us” meaning his defense team, notwithstanding, the potential for a possible conflict of interest on the part of Baez is the 800 lb Gorilla in every law office in Florida.
I have spoken with the two highest profile attorneys in the state who wish to be anonymous for this article. They expressed their sense is that the legal community in general is outraged at the egregious lack of professionalism and mockery of Floridian Jurisprudence Baez is exhibiting with his playground antics. That isn’t the half of it. If there is ANY *whiff* of truth that Baez fees are being paid through an entertainment or rights agreement this needs to investigated immediately. What I am clueless about is why this has not been done already. I have personally been told by people that were in the house or offices when the negotiations and/or discussions were going on about this, that it is true. Get Leo on the horn, call Skip Davis, and ask THEM YOURSELF, and then call ACAP already.
Conflict of interest and YOU- The Taxpayer
“Everyone involved in this case gets body-slammed..” my dear friend Tim Miller says.
He’s right. I have, he has, OCSO has, and you all have vicariously. However, there is the potential for very serious financial fallout to the taxpayers of Florida in the midst of a recession. Warning: This will frost your shorts.
If no investigation into the possible conflict of interest of Atty Baez’s representation of Casey Anthony occurs prior to a disposition in this case, the likelihood a verdict could and would be overturned in this case is very high. Think Keyser Soze and Kobayashi. Any conceivable scenario you can come up with as a disposition to this case causing an appellate groundswell would cost the taxpayers MILLIONS.
Scenario 1: Casey is convicted. Casey fires Baez for ineffective counsel, hires Allan Dershowitz.
Dershowitz proves ethics violations. Casey wins new trial. We all start this madness over again. Cost to Florida taxpayers for a second trial: Millions. O and btw, the FDLE is considering eliminating the AMBER ALERT and Sex Offender Notification because they are strapped for cash. How would you like to house and pamper that nit-wit for another year while those programs, designed to PROTECT children, are eliminated?
Scenario 2: Casey pleads out. The day before sentencing a document is *leaked* showing proof that Baez was paid through channels that would have a vested interest in the outcome of the case. Judge says, UM, back we go, can’t accept your plea based on this pending information in need of review by the FBA, or worse. Well, we now know what the state may or may not have been in a position to prove, probably their entire case, and anyone that tells you that does not seriously compromise a successful prosecution, when there is this much cash to throw at a defense, is lying.
There are probably 3o other machinations of first- year law LSAT questions here, you get the drift.
United States v. Nebbia, 357 F.2d 303 (2d Cir. 1966)
Who bears the burden? The burden of proof in a Nebbia hearing is on Casey Anthony and his/her family to prove that the bail funds or collateral come from legitimate, honest sources.
Repeat or cut and paste after me:
Ninth Circuit State Attorney
Mr. Lawson Lamar, SA
415 N. Orange Avenue
Orlando, FL 32802Dear State’s Attorney Lamar, I am a tax paying citizen and resident of Florida (or insert your home state).
I respectfully request that your office conduct a preliminary review, and if appropriate, open an investigation into the funding and surety of the current bond of record for defendant Casey Marie Anthony, Inmate # 08049710, oc jail. It is my understanding that the court retains discretion on whether or not to hold a Nebbia hearing, inasmuch as the state cannot automatically invoke it. However, without a motion filed from your office, I feel that a verdict in this case may be at risk for being set aside or appellate reversal.
Sincerely,
You
For anyone like me, when the ole ADD kicks in, what I am trying to say, in the most subtle, but call to action kind a way: The investigation isn’t over at arrest. The Nebbia hearing, largely a hearing to determine a lawful source of bond funds, is wrought with opportunities to gather information on the defendant’s income. The Prosecutors in this case, should they be granted their motion, are in a position of opportunity to educate the court about the defendant.

question: not related to article above, just read NG Transcripts and a question popped in my head about Baez and Kronk, can anyone tell me when JB requested from LE the transcripts/or records from tip lines? Question: were they requested before the finding of lil Caylee and/or before PI went digging in the woods a month prior, you know LP is always talking about the “Daisey Chain” I am wondering if the tips from Kronk to the tip lines actually directed the PI to the spot and not so much the brother Lee. I am just curious about that time line, could in fact the tipster actually be Baez (as I suspect) and not Lee.
Another possibility that would afford some justice is that Casey gets off and goes home to live in the “nightmare” family and continue with her craziness. Maybe then the state of Florida will run their behinds out of the country!!! End, of course, is the same, Caylee is dead..the world lost a sweet little innocent ray of sunshine because of this family.
Another great article Blink. Your request in forum for people to post letters they write, are you doing a book?
Thanks,no, I just wanted to keep track if anyone actally sent a letter, not a copy of it.
Regarding the Article:
My thoughts, exactly!
Are they looking for DNA on who the father is and why do you think Casey father is flipping out now Do you think maybe Casey’s dad could be Caylee father.
I personally believe that GA is not Caylee’s Father, and have always thought it is Jesus Ortiz.
Blink34
who is Jesus Ortiz? never heard that name…help me out
Dee- he was in Casey’s HS class, and died in a car accident in May 2007. Stephanie Kostakis was his BFF, also a friend of Casey’s. I was told when asked who Caylee’s father was, she showed this person the article about his crash and subsequent obit.
R/Blink:
RE: Above Topic & all relating specifics!
Agree w/all and—-Many of our Monkey shorts have actually been FROZEN for months, nevermind just frosted !
Amazing! Bizaree! Ridiculous! Absolutely one of the most outrageous & emotionally upsetting Maternal Murder cases to hit the US in years!
Innocent before proven guilty, I know- but this is so obvious—it’s not even funny and has been from the start~!!!!!!!! It is such a gross injustice and it DID’NT even have to happen! (Thank You, Cindy Anthony on that one!)
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!! Get on with the trial & could someone please go feed Baez to the Alligators & assign a more ethical Criminal Attorney to this case ????!?!?!?
Blink, great job, I always look for your articles cuz you’re such a great sleuth. What I wanna know is WHY baez isn’t under investigation by ocso? Or is he and we just don’t it?
Just an update y’all-
I HAVE received some letters that were cut and pasted from this article with their personal information on them of course, and as requested by the individuals, passed them onto the State’s Attorney’s Office. Kudos to those that felt compelled to act, and kudos to those supporting them. Go Monkeys

WHAT DOES BEING HISPANIC HAVE TO DO WITH THIS CASE.. HE IS A LAWYER WHATS HE TRYING TO DO INFLATE HIS OWN EGO COME ON NOW.. JUSTICE HAS NO COLOR………………..
Thats why “The Lady” wears a cloth over her eyes.
I think Baez is trying to mimic Mark Geragos.
Notice the swagger as he marches through the reporters. He is Lovin’ this!!
I hope your right Scarlett, cause Geragos’ last 2 clients: One killed himself after a meeting with him, and the other got the DP…
B
Will it ever come out that a number that Todd Black (Cabot) used is a number that had a Baez’ wife reference to it? A number that was registered to her?
THIS needs to be investigated as well. I do not live in Florida, but hate to see there be legal technicalities and the trial put back MONTHS after it is finally realized that Baez does indeed have a conflict of interest here? I say take all of the dishonest ones OUT!
Thanks!
Hi,
This case is all over HLN. Why have they not clued in to the Zenaida and Gonzales being markers as per your story? Nancy Grace, Primetime News and JVM, keep covering this but are ignoring some of the details. Also, if she created the URL for Caylee missing two years ago, how will they prove that one? We might need some computer whiz kid out of high school to show what the tech addicts were doing. Casey obviously loved her myspacepage and texting. Has law enforcement figured out she probably used alias on the sites? Did she use the abandoned house near where Caylee was found? Damm it all…Caylee should not have died!!!!!! Anyone out there who is sane, has some influence in Florida, make sure that you Caylee has justice!!!! Poor, poor Caylee– the world is missing a bright light!!! Sorry, I am just really angry that this happened to a toddler/baby by the mother. Other questions, did she act alone? Did her family help cover up or move the remains? Could she have used the abandoned house repeatedly as the stash site for “babysitting”? Your site seems to be the only one asking the really hard questions and providing possible solutions.
Has anyone looked into a connection between Black/Cabot or Baez and Lawrence Olmstead of Hollywood Private Investigations? They are issuing press releases about finding the ‘real’ killer and have a tip line. Also his comments re: Kronk and his ‘feelings’ re: Casey’s innocence lead me to believe he has some vested interest.
I have been watching hln from day one about Caylee and I heard Lee say that He and Casey had secrets that they would never tell Mom and Dad and at the Memorial he said I will never not keep my promise to you CMA could he be Caylee’s Father? Is that what he will never tell.

I can not believe that they plan on selling this child….How dare they. its like raping the dead. What an the hell is wrong with this lawyer? Has he NO RESPECT for this poor dead child? This man has kids of his own. Lets hope that these BROADCASTING Companies and other news outlets DO NOT PURCHASE anything of this child. There must be laws past to prevent his kinda stuff. God I hope the have a SMOKING GUN to really slam the door on this child killing mom. We all know totmom really isn t all that smart…..
JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE……Is this too much to ask for. Tot moms lawyer is turning this into a free for all…Selling this child is SICK…..He calls himself a father? SCUMBAG is more like it….Its all about HER….NOT ABOUT CAYLEE……WHAT ABOUT CAYLEE? SHE IS THE VICTUM HERE…And this lawyer plans on selling her. Maybe he canget a show on QVC….. Im sorry but Baez is the lowest of the low………SCUMBAG
Everyone thinks Baez is incompetent. Sure he is. He knew he could not win with this piece of crap so next step, play really dumb and get all overturned with Casey firing him and getting new attorny. He has a plan, because he is so dishonest that his lies just roll right off his tongue. Towards the end of trial, when TV shows were mentioned the cameras caught his smirk, knowing he has already set up shows to appear on. These are the real people paying his fees. If this is proven (easy) if you see him on shows he should share a cell with the baby killer. SLEEP WITH THE ANGELS, BEAUTIFUL GIRL. Lynn Kingman, Az
