Excellent post and spot on. We will see many more things filed that are purely perfunctory.
Unfortunately for Casey, her lawyers don't even give notice to the proper parties in their motions and their arguments contradict many of their prior arguments. It is clear that Baez is in way over his head. In this hearing,Mr. Ashton informs the judge that when Mr. Lennomen gave Mr. Ashton his memo on why Casey should not be facing a possible death penalty, he received a phone call from the Orlando Sentinel who had received a copy of the letter
( not a public record document ) BEFORE Mr. Ashton even had it.
The remainder of the hearing is fascinating. Mr. Ashton gives example after example of the many times Baez has went to the press in print and television. His argument is perfunctory on this matter. Indeed.

Mr. Ashton uses this exchange ON TELEVISION that Jose had with host of The Verdict, in the hearing for the gag order. WOW!!! He has been so bad for Casey's case, imo, it would be tough to measure. He admits here she lied.
ABRAMS: Joining me now is Jose Baez, Casey Anthonys attorney. Thanks very much for taking the time. Appreciate it. All right. We heard there her mother saying that Casey knows who has Caylee. Is that true?
BAEZ: Well, I dont have any of that information. Casey has told me that she does not know where Caylee is.
ABRAMS: So why do you think she would have said that to her mom?
BAEZ: She hasnt spoken with her mother. It was a brief phone call that she had from the jail about a week ago or, I guess the evening of her arrest, almost a week ago, I should say. But the only one whos had any contact with her is myself and Ive had the opportunity to discuss this with her at great length. And shes never told me that she knows where Caylee is.
ABRAMS: So as she said, she doesnt know who shes with and she doesnt know where shes with or did she say, I have an idea where she might be?

BAEZ: Shes told me she does not know where Caylee is. As far as any suspicions or any other things like that, Im not at liberty to comment on.
ABRAMS: I think the one thing that really disturbs so many people, as you know, is the fact that she took five weeks to report Caylee missing. How can one possibly explain that?
BAEZ: Well, you know, there is an explanation and Ive discussed it with her and, you know, I think when all is said and done, many people are going to realize that there is a reasonable explanation behind her actions. Unfortunately, you know, we - unfortunately, Im not at liberty to say, you know, everything that Ive discussed with her. Weve decided that its in her best interest to wait and hold that for the defense as far as her explanation why. Right now our goal is to try and find Caylee and we want to get her out immediately so we can assist in doing that.
ABRAMS: If thats the goal, though, then why has she told so many lies to the authorities? And let me go over these. She told detectives, she last saw Caylee after dropping her off at an apartment complex. It turned out the apartment complex has been vacant since February. She told detectives she was an event planner at Universal Studios - she was fired two years ago. She detectives Caylees babysitter once lived in an apartment building in Orlando. It turned out the building - it turned out to be for seniors only. She claimed that a woman who was Caylees long-time babysitter; that woman told investigators she doesnt know the Anthonys and has never been the babysitter.
Again, and again it seems shes lying to the authorities and youre saying she really wants to help them find Caylee.
BAEZ: Yes. You know, first off, theres an explanation for her stories. However -
ABRAMS: Would you call them lies? .
BAEZ: Well, yes, you can call them whatever you like. I think were really talking about semantics here. But I would say this - her explanation is understandable. Ive discussed it with her, but not everything that the police are saying is completely accurate and the media has, on certain occasions, twisted things.
For example, the babysitter - she clearly told the police when shown the photograph of the person the police spoke with, she told the police that that is not the babysitter that she left the child with. So, theres - its being passed along as if the police have actually spoken with the babysitter when, in fact, they havent.
ABRAMS: So - but, is it fair to say that she has not been entirely forthcoming with the authorities?
BAEZ: I think its fair to say that, yes. Absolutely.

ABRAMS: And thats a problem, isnt it? When youre trying to find someone whos missing?
BAEZ: You know, it certainly is a problem. This is a very difficult situation. What were trying to do is get her out of jail so that way we can have - she can have contact with her family. She can help me assist with her defense and also assist us finding Caylee. Thats really the focus. Everybody is really trying to help find Caylee and, I mean, that is really the bulk of everything were trying to do.
ABRAMS: Jose Baez, thanks very much for coming on. We appreciate it.
BAEZ: Thank you.
ABRAMS: Joining us now on the phone, Orange County Deputy Sheriff Carlos Padilla.
All right. Sheriff, youve heard now what Mr. Baez has been saying. How helpful or not so helpful has Casey been in this investigation?
CARLOS PADILLA, ORANGE COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF (on the phone): Well, lets put it this way. Had she been helpful from the beginning, she would not be in jail and Caylee would be home with the family.
ABRAMS: But it sounds, though, Mr. Baez was accusing you - us, the media of twisting the truth with regard to some of the allegations in this case. What do you make of that?
PADILLA: Well, keep this in mind. We in law enforcement went to the media to put her name and her picture out there and to implore the community and the citizens to help us locate Caylee. For example, if anybody saw her to give us a call and thats all weve done. We have not made the rounds with the media. We have not been on the shows with the media. We havent been calling around and trying to have several, you know, interviews on different types of shows.
Unfortunately, I would have thought that that energy should have been spent on having Casey talk to law enforcement and tell us where the child is."
You just can't make this stuff up!!!
