Hardly an hour passes without CNN or sister station HLN making mention of the sad case of dead Florida tot Caylee Anthony. Tot mom is cooling her heels in jail, which likely is the best place for her. After all, she is the only viable suspect.
Casey’s lead attorney is Jose Baez, a gentleman that does not seem to garner much respect from any quarter. There have been numerous rumblings and mumblings about his legal and personal antics.
A new report came out today that one of his ex clients is less than happy with Jose Baez and the way he handled his one and only murder trial to date. Nilton Diaz (31) was convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years. In papers filed today, there are some interesting allegations against Jose Baez. The Orlando Sentinel says:
In documents seeking a new trial and other post-conviction relief, Diaz said “…Mr. Baez wanted to surprise the prosecution, and the surprise blew up in the defense’s face.”
Citing “defectivenessâ€Â Diaz is angling for a retrial. And I am sure that he has some valid arguments.
I did not follow the Diaz story, so I cannot make any useful comments about it. However my wife Jan and I have been following the Caylee Anthony case with a microscope.
The big difference between these two cases, at least in my mind, are that with Diaz no one cared what Jose did, with Caylee Anthony there is a whole lot more scrutiny of what our illustrious attorney Jose Baez has been doing.
I am not an attorney, (I had no wish to sell my soul to the devil), but I have followed enough cases to figure out the general rules of engagement. I realize that different judges use different styles. I can think of no instance where a judge has ruled that the accused ‘must’ be present at all pre-trial hearings.
In my mind there is only one reason. Neither the judicial system, nor the prosecution are willing to give Casey Anthony the opportunity of appealing the inevitable guilty verdict on the basis that she was not aware of her attorneys actions.
The litany of transgressions by Baez has obviously raised some red flags with the powers that be.
We are still months away from going to trial, which I think is sad. By the time this case does go to court the sad case of Caylee Anthony will have long been forgotten by the general public.
We here at Blogger News Network have done our best to keep this this story at the forefront, and we will follow it to its conclusion. I am sure that there is a lot more to this story that has yet to be revealed.
Blogger News Network will be running our regular talk radio show about both the Caylee Anthony and Haleigh Cummings cases on Sunday at 3PM Central, and once again Florida based news radio Sky 97.3 reporter TJ Hart will be joining us.
Full details tomorrow.

BOZO is way over his head in the CMA case, and others that preceeded it I see.
He’d better stick to DUI cases, or neighbor spats for the next 10 years and get some savvy about our Court System. Seems he has no clue. But that is not surprising, when it took him 8 years to pass the Bar Exam. And how many tries? No doubt all that were allowed. Is it 3?
I do not feel a bit of surprise that he has past indiscretions. His showtime funnies tell me he is a showman, not an effective attorney. It appears each time we see him that he is out for fame, not for justice for anyone. His actions are questionable on each subject he approaches. He whines, he shows off and is totally insulting. Except to his “innocent” client and he does somewhat show off for her. I still feel he has done something underhanded with the funds to pay for this defense team. No idea what was said in chambers with the judge but I would be hard pressed to believe one word from either his mouth or that of Casey. I feel the judge just may have wanted to hear what they would come up with, I am sure he is aware of Baez’s antics, he has been witness to lots of them lately. He said he was tired of it, well, so are all of us so maybe some of this nonsense can stop now. I can agree with prosecutions side, they are fed up with him also. Maybe, just maybe the ex-client has grounds against Baez and it will dampen his fame a bit, sure hope so. I agree with Simon, he must have sold his soul to the devil in the beginning to become what he is now. Nothing like a crooked lawyer to make a trial interesting and I look forward to seeing the prosecution hit him with both barrels and tear him to shreds. I’d love to be there to see him scrape the egg off his face and maybe I will. This has been one big nightmare, one large mess that seems to just keep growing with each day. The trial can’t get here fast enough.
By the way, we won’t ever forget this case no matter how many months it takes to get to court. Too many of us have been heavily touched in the heart by all this to ever forget. Simon, we just need to keep it open and running and you do a fine job of it! Thanks for being so thorough.
Good article Simon!
Casey got Jose’s name from another jail inmate who was in jail the first time she was arrested. She contacts him to see if he will take her case. Big mistake on Caseys judgement. She should have done her homework on hiring lawyers. He meets with her and he decides to take her case. Big mistake on Jose’s judgement. He’s a lawyer still in diapers. He doesn’t have the experience to try a case of this magnitude. All he saw was dollar signs.
Does he really think he can get her off? Does she really believe he can get her off?
LOL……They deserve each other.
Stupidy + stupidy = GUILTY
I could never forget those beautiful haunting eyes as long as I live.
It seems my last post didn’t make it. Check out the Blink on Crime site for an update on Macaluso, the new addition to the dream team. Very interesting.
How could he possibly even think she is innocent let alone that he can win this trial?
He is drinking her koolaid too.
The only reason Casey picked him is because she is a narcissist and can control him….End of story…….End of her!
I agree with Simon…making her wait until October for a trial is sad and pathetic..guilty or otherwise…and I personally don’t think otherwise. She deserves to know her fate sooner. She needs to know and adjust to the fact that she is going to be where she is for a long time. And we all need to be able to put little Caylee to rest once and for all and to give her peace.
The trial is expected to last for a month and I have a feeling Bozo is going to suffer. That is a very long time to keep up his so called surprise. It will fall to the other legal heads in the case to form a defense for IT.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy! You reap what you sew. And now he is playing the race card, saying the media is picking on him because he is Hispanic. This guy is truly a joke.
There is no doubt in my mind, M has told bozo the events of the crime. I don’t think a lawyer could represent M with the magnitude of circumstancial evidence reflecting the lies that she told in this case without having some truth to base a defense on.
M may not have came out and told BOzo in the begining, but I guarantee by now he know what happen to Caylee and how it all happen. He has to in order for him to contradict the state evidence.
Bozo knows exactly how M killed Caylee. And so does LEE.
Simon! Did you call him a gentleman? lol..I agree and that’s why he has earned the moniker Bozo. BNN will never let caylees memory die at the very least till she gets Justice, and then she can rest peacefully. Awesome Job everyone involved!
I’m not saying that M didn’t tell another lie to her lawyer, but these two spend alot of time together ( more time then most lawyers)
I’m sure M trust Bozo enough to throw him a big bone( or vice versa)of the truth to help her case.
Etc, If the state claims she killed Caylee with chroloform, and M tells Bozo that she didn’t use it on Caylee but as a cleaner in her car. Bozo can throw a wrench in the states turning wheel.
Etc: If the state claims that caylee was killed on the 16th but M tells Bozo that it was the night before in the trunk. Another wrench in the stated theory.
Etc: If the state claims the body was dumped on the 18th but M tell Bozo it was the 24th again another wrench.
How does the state prove her guilt if she is the only one who knows the truth?
I’m confussed now!
I BELIEVE CASEY KILLED HER DAUGHTER OUT OF ANGER TOWARDS HER MOTHER.I CAN SEE HER ANGER IN HER LAIL VIDIOS.AND HER LAWYER SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WANTING TO BECOME POPULAR.I HOPE THEY FIND A WAY TO GIVE HER THE DEATH PENALTY. MYSELF I THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE HER SMIRKY MOUTH DUCK TAPED AND PUT HER IN A BAG AND THROW HER TO THE GATERS.NO CHILD ON EARTH COULD HAVE BEEN BORN TO A WORSE MOTHER.BUT THEN THERE ARE SO MANY THAT ARE. ITS SO SAD THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO GIVE BIRTH TO THESE HELPLESS BABYS. RIGHT HERE IN OUR COUNTRY.WHERE SMOKING IS SO MUCH IN THE NEWS BUT CHILDREN ARE FORGOTTEN UNTIL SOMEONE KILLS THEM. ANOTHER CHILD HALEIGH CUMMINGS IS GONE BECAUSE OF SOME SELFISH PARENTS. AND ITS GOT TO STOP.WE NEED PEOPLE TO WATCH THEIR KIDS. CASEYS PARENTS HAVE LET HER LIE HER WHOLE LIFE. WELL WHEN YOUR GRANDAUGHTER IS MURDERD ITS TIME TO ADMIT ,, SHES NO DAM GOOD.I WOULD NEVER BELIEVE MY DAUGHTER IF SHE LIED AND STOLE FROM ME. CALEE HAD A RIGHT TO LIVE. ITS HEART BREAKING . THANK YOU SO MUCH.
There is a question that has been raised and asked and never quite answered sufficiently by anyone truthfully nor definitely or with any prove thereof. It is actually quite simple and I believe it would shed some well needed “LIGHT” on this particular case. Who is the biological father of this murdered child, Caylee Anthony ?

…………………………………..
He’s an idiot.
The media is picking on him because he is defending a sociopathic nut-job who killed her baby.
That fact trumps race or gender.
while back bb stated he was the first hispanic lawyer to have a case of this magnitude, its pretty obvious just as a spectator this man doesnt know what he is doing, obviously he screwed up his other case, im sure he didnt have as many antics in that one as hes doing in this one..imo all bb is doing is keeping his name in the news, all the unnesasary motions he asks for and then doesnt bother to use(crime scene, etc..)8 yrs to pass the bar?? how many yrs does it usually take??8 seems like quite a while…he is way in over his head imo!! hopefully the other guy if he is truly innocent will get another trial!
Well, with former client, Nilton Diaz claiming incompetent counsel, Hosebag can no longer claim he’s being targeted because he’s Hispanic! LOL! He’ just plain incompetent.
I wonder if the prosecution – always trying to prevent Hosebag’s incompetence from benefiting his current client, Maggot – will submit a motion to be sure that Maggot is kept informed of Nilton Diaz’s accusations so that this won’t give her the ability to cry “incompetent counsel” after Hosebag gets her locked up for life. LOL!

*******
Isn’t that the truth!!! Not to mention all his whining and protesting, filing motion after motion. (HE IS NOTHING BUT A SQUEAKY WHEEL…DEMANDING ATTENTION) It’s pretty embarrassing to even watch him try to play lawyer….and the face he gave to Ashton is one of the most juvenile things I have ever seen in such professional surroundings. Jose needs some serious schooling!
icart @ 9:25 pm Why do you think the identity of Caylee’s father would shed any light on this case? Please don’t tell me you suspect him? Whoever he is, he’s just another innocent victim of the Anthony tribe.
mtc! Good thinking!! I bet you’re right!!! That would be so hilarious to see the prosecution file a motion to keep kc informed of Nilton Diaz’s accusations. LOVE IT! 😀
Thank you, Lorim. I might even write the prosecution and suggest it. Maybe some of us should write “nice” letters to Maggot to inform her – just so she really does know! And it could be proven later.
allie: I don’t think Maggot has told Bozo the truth. She’s never told anyone the truth about anything. She may sprinkle some truth in with her lies but she’d never tell him she really did it or how. I remember hearing that the day Caylee’s remains were found (or identified- I forget which) – Bozo was seen leaving the jail looking really angry! I took that to mean that she had been playing “Poor little innocent me” with him. NOW he knows though. He HAS to know – not directly from her but because he really can’t be that stupid. Can he?
Lorim at 8:22am – And even filing lots of motions he DOESN’T FILE THEM CORRECTLY! LOL!
The prosecution always has to point out that they were done wrong! Bozo IS an incompetent idiot!
mtc….lol…he is pathetic. You are so right about the prosecution having to ask the judge to send hoser back to the drawing board. Ey ey ey…what is this guy thinking??? Or is he? LOL!
There’s no need to know who the biological father is because he’s dead, end of story, next question. Just like Caylee’s dead, but we don’t know why, not because of Casey, next question. Squirrels got caught up in the engine of the car, we know they’re dead because their last meal was pizza. Next question. Those junk science bugs in the woods, they’re dead, too. They’re not talking. Next question. That first fetus — dead, too. Miscarriage, but don’t ask Brandon Snow, he doesn’t know anything; it was another Brandon Snow. Next. Great grandma, almost dead from running out of money. Grampa George, almost dead from running out of answers. But they’ll get over it. And, by the way, we already had a Gone Too Soon Memorial Service, so you should get over it, too. It’s about time we all move on. No more questions.
Do you love how he wears a tie/hanky or shirt, matching what tot mom wears to court?
Yes, he’s an IDIOT!
1. Casey Anthony is innocent as is every person charged with a crime in the United States unless and until proven guilty in court by a jury of her peers. Each of you may think you know the evidence but in actuality there is a lot of information that is withheld from the public until trial. So remember when you are exercising you constitutional right to free speech on a blog, that same constitution protects Ms. Anthony.
2. Simon questions Ms. Anthony’s presence in court. Yet, this too is a constitutional guarantee, the 6th amendment, in fact guarantees the right to be present at all hearings.
I know that Simon didn’t want to go to law school to protect his soul but anyone who is literate can read the constitution.
And it may help him to remember that it is because of defense attorneys that the government cannot bust into his home and arrest him for what he puts on his blog, as ridiculous as it may be.
JanelRights, “innocent until proven guilty” doesn’t cut it with us. We’re not in court. The cops are convinced Casey murdered Caylee. That’s good enough for us. We’re free to agree with them and don’t need to get clubbed over the head with your little lesson in law.
if not already.i think they should get a dna from george. i noticed when they started talking about caylee’s father, he decided to run away, she looks more like him than any of the other guys, too that could be why Cindy and Casey wasn’t getting support from the county, i do not believe for a minute, the one that was killed in a car crash was the father, because the way Casey loved money , she would have been at their door the next day trying to get benefits.
Hey Jose,
I found another BABY KILLER for you to defend! Rot in hell loser!

Simon and Jan, I think you allready knew what Baez was up to now that he postponed the trial to next summer.
I love your blog!
This is incredible !
Just because JOSE is latino from Puerto Rico or perhaps Cuban, is not intitle to a case of this magnitude.
In America (USA)if you are NOT Jewish you are NOT a good LAWYER.
This is a time of CHANGE.. if is NOT!
Look now what we have for PRESIDENT in the USA.
Who in the world in million years we thought that we was ready to have a black president in the White House; a person who saw an opportunity and a damn good salesman; SOLD himself to the American people…That’s Mr Obama an OPPORTUNITIST our NEW president of USA.
Give a break guys !
This is AMERICA the land of OPPORTUNITIES.
Leo !
Truely a nice blog and thanks for your great work. By the way,welcom to our websites:www.fashionhairfu.com
After reading more about Jose Baez, I am no longer confused as to why he hasn’t advised Casey to take a plea. Just this fact alone may get her an appeal for incompetent counsul. And what about the others on his team, are they all that incompetent as well? From the very onset, this mess seems to be playing havoc with the whole trial system. Why is she so special. And please don’t give me innocent until proven guilty. Come on, Xanny the Nanny? dead animals and rotten pizza? Please lawyers, do the right thing,have her cop a plea and save the taxpaying public.
Talk about bullies! Everyone picks on Casey and Jose. REMEMBER THE CONSTITUTION. Innocent until found guilty.I doubt the people who write are lily white themselves.
Personally, I think she is guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt. However, that aside, the consitution grants ALL OF US
Personally, I believe Casey Anthony is guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt. That being said, the Constitution does afford ALL OF US the right to trial, before an impartial judge and a jury of our peers. No matter how strongly we feel about this case and no matter how much we feel Jose Baez is a “dirt bag”, as he is being called, he is just doing his job. Looking at the trial on HSN and hearing and seeing the evidence presented thus far, I think she will be convicted. I believe justice will be served and that is all any of us can hope for.
