2011.01.06 Baez Slapped with Formal Sanction

[jennyb]

By Mason asking Ashton to not cash the check, isn't he essentially asking Ashton to violate a court order?

EXACTLY. I hope Jeff's laughing all the way to the bank.

Business is business, they are making this personal. It isn't personal ... the Judge ruled and the State are duty bound to follow the ruling. GMAB!

ETA: The Defense obviously have issues following rules ... unless it is their own spin on those rules.

From the WESH link:

"In his letter, Mason said there is a good faith reason not to oppose the motion, given the potential future impact on Baez."

So this is what bullies do when they're backed into a corner. They try to make the *bullied* appear ungracious.

Hoo boy. They just never stop do they?

The defense has been trying to prevent and hinder the prosecution's ability to do their job, time and time again. FINALLY Ashton had enough and had to have this settled by the judge. The judge granted his motion but didn't even go as far as the $500 a day penalty!

On what planet would it make sense for Ashton NOT to cash the check?! It was his motion! And now he's supposed to spare Baez humiliation?

Cash the check Jeff! Do not wait another minute. Geez. They will NEVER respect you in the morning -- as a matter of fact if you acquiesce they'll just laugh at you behind your back... sucker!

There was a good faith reason to have followed the court order in the first place. IF CM thinks that Mr. Ashton saying no will make him look bad or mean -- BACKFIRE --- it will make him look professional, strong and on the side of Justice for Caylee.

PS - Caylee had a 'good faith reason' to believe that the mother who brought her into the world would not be the one who took her out. IMHO, etc....

Thud!!!!!

To quote the great TWA 'You just can't make this stuff up!'

I hope the SA runs all the way to the bank!

 

[LambChop]

Isn't this now "public" money? I think the game playing is costing the taxpayers a lot of money. And if CM in his letter to JA states, "JB is young and inexperienced" (not written but implied "and obviously way over his head") why would CM take on another high profile case? Seems irresponsible to me. jmo

I hope Ashton shows up in court tomorrow with a copy of the deposit slip showing that the check has been cashed.

ITA, cyberborg! That's exactly the problem with this team. It's like Schaffer said, pay the fine, learn from it, move on. The end.

Watching this video with JB and CM walking along I realized something. CM loves the camera more than JB. He is just grinning ear-to-ear with the attention the media is paying him. jmo

CM smiling

And as egregious as asking him not to cash it to say:

"In his letter, Mason said there is a good faith reason not to oppose the motion, given the potential future impact on Baez."

I HOPE HE SHOWS UP WITH A WRITTEN OPPOSITION TO THIS MOTION OF LIES.

 

[cyberborg]

CM knows better.

It is not for JA to decide whether or not to cash the check. He has no authority. This is a Court Order and the money is owed to the State, not JA.

I can see JB pulling this stunt but CM should know JA cannot intervene.

As soon as I finish this, I'm sure the letter will be released, but here goes anyway.

Dear Jeff,

Not withstanding the fact that I have filed a Motion for Reconsideration and that we have talked about you considering agreeing to the withdrawing of the contempt, I am enclosing herewith Mr Baez' check made payable to the State of Florida in the amount of $583.73.

I request that if you, in fact are indeed considering not opposing my Motion for Reconsideration and Vacating of the Contempt, that you hold this check pending the final resolution.

As you recall when we talked, I think there is a good faith reason not to oppose the reconsideration, given the potential future impact of the contempt citation on Mr. Baez, his youth and relative experience in these matters. I believe it would be the right thing to do, but that decision is certainly yours and, I guess, Lawson's.

LOL (I added for emphasis)

 

[LancelotLink]

So, here's you check, you big bully! But only if you promise not to cash it?? Think of wittle Jose!

 

[Sooner Fan#1]

potential future impact on Baez." .......HAHA That's funny!

Perhaps the Senior member of the Defense Team should have instructed Mr Baez to comply with the Court when ordered to produce documents, and to produce them in a timely manner, thus avoiding all the drama,since he is so 'relatively inexperienced' so as to not know a deadline when he sees one.
What little reputation he had (?) has been demolished due to his own arrogance, so removing the sanction would be too little too late.

ETA- I don't think the money belongs to JA, so it's not his check to cash... it belongs to the State of Florida.

I agree.

I can't believe Mason has the effrontery to write "given the potential future impact on Baez"
:boohoo:

Yes, it does.

THANK YOU for transcribing the letter!
It kinda sounds like maybe JA is considering not opposing the motion to vacate the contempt order??? I don't know why JB should be shown ANY leniency?

iirc, it read "inexperience"

 

[Ssejors]

ETA- I don't think the money belongs to JA, so it's not his check to cash... it belongs to the State of Florida.

So, How then, can CM ask JA not to cash the cheque. Is he not REQUIRED to cash it on be half and FOR the State of Florida? I would think that CM can't even ask JA to NOT cash it, as it's not even up to JA. He's just the middle man, so to speak. JB isn't paying ASHTON he is paying the Taxpayers and the state.

TIA
