[cajun]

state sees a minefield in the future..wants baez on record

 

[ThoughtElf]

KC's affadavit also waives the right to privacy.

 

[sarah7855]

wants Baez on record, not trying to embarrass him. State just needs to know financial arrangements. Not trying to have Baez eliminated from case, no prejudice against KC.

 

[Formynextnovel]

She's looking kinda *****y today, yeah? What happened to the librarian look?

 

[Kenziema]

I haven't been following this as some of you have been. I have a question. Why do they care how her defense team is being paid?

Because if there is a conflict of interest, it opens the door for an appeal if she is convicted.

 

[Seebra]

They don't want Jose eliminated from case - no kidding! LOL.

 

[ThoughtElf]

Judge Strickland, "My only job is to determine if conflict exists or not."

 

[Seebra]

I haven't been following this as some of you have been. I have a question. Why do they care how her defense team is being paid?

Because of what the state just argued.

It could overturn guilty ruling on appeal.

 

[Mendara]

It matters because if Baez is being paid in the "rights to the story" then there is a conflict of interest. As in he can turn the wheels in the direction which will most benefit him. Am I right WBs?

 

[cajun]

Baez wants to clarify state's motion.

 

[Sporky]

ahh gotcha. Thanks!

 

[sarah7855]

Baez: Thinks state is trying to gain insight into defense.

 

[ishouldbworking]

baez is insinuating this is because the SA wants to see where their defense is going...HA!

 

[sega-sleuth]

I have noticed in these hearings Casey looks like she is in school, not at a hearing for her daughter being killed by the Nanny!! She has totally disassociated herself from this.

 

[Searchfortruth]

Casey did you hear that...FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD !!!!!

 

[Kenziema]

Hahahahaha!!!! SA is laughing...

 

[SuziQ]

I haven't been following this as some of you have been. I have a question. Why do they care how her defense team is being paid?

Two things. A defendant can not use proceeds from a crime to pay for their defense. And an attorney client confict of interest is grounds for appeal and could cause a retrial if Casey is found guilty the first time around.

 

[Mendara]

baez is insinuating this is because the SA wants to see where their defense is going...HA!

That makes ZERO sense. How are you getting paid? ANSWER: Her parents - her trustfund ??? - that doe snot give them insight intot he defense

 

[ThoughtElf]

JB is 'hoping' that the State is not wanting this information to determine which direction the defense strategy is going in.
