In Dickens classic Oliver Twist when the orphan Oliver pleads ‘Please sir may I have some more’ he is rebuked and reviled. Jose Baez the lead attorney for the defense group representing Casey Anthony was back in court yesterday. For any readers that have spent the past two years living in a Yurt in Outer Mongolia, Casey Anthony stands accused of the murder of her then two year old daughter Caylee Anthony.
Last year the gravy train ran out for Jose Baez. When the case first came to public interest money was freely flowing, ABC paid a whopping $200,000 not for interviews, that is frowned upon by the more reputable news agencies. ABC instead claim that the $200,000 was to pay for licensing fees of photographs of the missing tot. Of course $200,000 does not go far these days. A few new suits, a couple of BMW’s, a few plane trips and hotel stays for ‘experts’ , well before you know it, the bank account is looking bare.
Jose Baez has seen his dream team leave in droves, it seems that even the consummate court expert Dr Henry Lee has even bailed from the effort to defend Casey Anthony.
Out of money, Jose Baez was forced to play his last card. In what I still view as crass stupidity the tax payers are now footing the bill!
Yesterday Jose Baez was back playing the role of ‘Oliver’. In what at first seemed a poor choice, Judge Perry has extended a further $12,000 of tax payers money to the Casey Anthony defense. One has to wonder if he will now pay the $600 owed to a local court reporting and transcription company?
The gory details of the hearing were reported by WESH.
With the trial set to start in less than five months, it will be interesting to see what Jose Baez has left in his magic hat. Zanny the Nanny has merely resulted in a well deserved law suit. Meter Maid Roy Kronk is about as viable defense as Zanny. Involving Jessie Grund is a sure fire way to lose the case. And I think it goes without saying that trying to pin the problem on Tim Miller and his Texas Equusearch group is going to go about as far as I could throw Jose himself.
Tick Tock Jose, the clock stops for no-one. May looms, or as we used to say as kids, ‘ready or not, we are coming’!

Much of these costly details could have and should have been done long ago. Lots of foot dragging later, after his dream team of expensive experts have gone, he goes to beg for public funds for her defense. One of his cohorts has been quoted as saying that he is young and inexperienced and did not know procedure. That just confirms that even his partners in defense know how much he is in over his head. Surely he knew from the onset that this would be very difficult so why did he even jump in there? I have to say that Judge Perry has been far less tolerant of his shenanigans than the prior judge was but still, he has been given favor upon favor and this has not been heard of before. I have relatives that live there, they are getting more detail than we are and none of it is a pretty picture. Yet, the residents are having to pay for it all. I will be so glad to see this mess go on to trial and be over with and I don’t even have to be near it. I feel so sorry for those folks who do live there having to know that each time they pay a tax bill, part of it goes to Caseys defense.
Was just told that Bozo took this case to make a name for himself. Well, he accomplished that much anyway. Bozo the Whiner! Now who would hire him for defense after this?
Jose Baez is not bending the rules – He simply does not know them: He struggled to get through the lowest ranked law school in the USA, and then took 8 years to pass the bar. He’s a short, fat, big-eared, weak-chinned, dullard that has no business being a lawyer: I have yet to see him cite a SINGLE case, statutory provision or procedural rule. He literally thinks “disjustice” is a word! Baez is a disgrace to the Florida bar and I can’t imagine how an incompetent 42 year old fool with only 3 years at the bar has managed to wind up in a position where is able to allocate significant amounts of taxpayer dollars to ‘fishing expeditions’ that any competent attorney of even average intelligence would avoid.
The citizens of Florida are also paying for the Prosecution with tax dollars.
I wouldn’t be surprised after Casey is found guilty that some attorney will say she was not represented correctly and the news media did not let her have a fair trial.
well said Nanna bee he has made a name for himself and probably destroyed himself at the same time. maybe he can go and help out in traffic court. As for Casey I believe her fate has been sealed for a long time. She has been standing in quicksand and it has been sucking her down daily.
Nothing,nothing,nothing! The defense has used up all of it’s smoke and mirrors and the trial hasn’t even started yet. Despite trying to look like they have and ace up their collective sleeves, they just look pretty desperate now. I think that it may come down to Casey trying to plea down.
I AGREE. THE DEFENSE HAS NOTHING I HOPE SHE DOESNT PLEA DOWN MAYBE BOZO WOULD THINK THATS A BAD IDEA. SHE TRULY THINKS SHE IS GOING TO GET A WAY WITH IT. IN COURT SMILING PLAYING WITH HER HAIR WRITING DOWN ON PAPER AND SHOWING IT TO HER LAWYERS SHE IS PLAYING EITHER
TIC TAC TOE OR HANG MAN SHE IS A LOSER FROM DAY ONE. CINDY SHOULD HAVE KILLED HER.
We all have seen The Media Man (Bozo)in front of the camera’s from the beginning. We have seen his style of actions that he lies, deceit’s, is a money o-gar, and thought this case was going to be a gravy train, & this was the American dream that comes along once in a life time. With the thoughts of a new career danced in his head being of the Movie Industry. His fame, fortune, and dreams have all gone up in smoke. He has stepped in a dirty mud hole to find out that he is in quick sand, and he is going down with his client. His Buddy Mumble ‘s
should of taken off or never of got involved in this case, as his good reputation that he once held has is just that, He once had. IMO perhaps this new case he is on will take more of his time, and he will have to tell Bozo, that he can’t no longer give his all to this case so Bozo will be the only one left. Wouldn’t that be a joy?
I cannot beleive that this case has dragged on for so long, and how Bozo man has manipulated the system to now go after honest tax payers hard earned dollars. Can this dirtbag even stand looking at himself in the mirror? What really throws me, is Casey comes in to court and has this discusting smerk on her stupid face, she laughs as she sits there, only caring about how she looks.. her actions say it all.. she has never shown any concern, love or pain in regards to her baby. I cant wait til she is found 100% guilty so that poor little angel can rest in peace..
