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)
I popped in here for a quick update before bed and look what I find...
Now I HAVE to rant or I won't get any sleep.
There NEEDS to be a future impact on Baez. Hopefully, this will be the step one in his future disbarrment (sp). No one needs to ignorantly and unawares hire this guy as their attorney.
IMO, if Ashton folds and does not oppose the reconsideration, then he is enabling this behavior to continue, and we have all seen what comes from that kind of thing, she sits next to Baez at the motion hearings.
And his youth? YOUTH!!?? The guy is almost as old as I am, and I'll bet cash money when Mason was at that level of 'relative experience', even though I've seen him in action and I am NOT impressed, he was a whole lot younger than Baez, and probably in his first years of law school!
This is a death penalty case, as the Defense certainly likes to point out at any given moment, but they sure don't act like they know it. The State and the Court needs to stand behind these sanctions, and not for revenge, no, that's the sole department of the Defense. IMO, ICA is guilty as sin, and she deserves whatever she gets, but these people SIGNED UP for this case, they were not forced into it, they CHOSE it, and now they need to man up and do their &*(&^%(* jobs and quit acting like babies with soiled diapers. This isn't a game, or a joke, or a petty vendetta because the professionals in this case aren't bowing down at the altar of Baez.
WE can post around in here, crack a few jokes, make some snide comments, but WE are not INVOLVED in this case. WE are not responsible for defending the perp, or making sure she is properly represented, or making sure she has a fair trial, or even trying to keep her off death row, yet all of us in here IMO have been more professional about this case than both of these alleged attorneys put together.
And last but not least, there is no I in TEAM. At least since November of 2008, Baez has has some kind of EXPERIENCED attorney on his Defense TEAM, including, as of March (?) of 2010, Mr. Cheney Mason himself. As part of the Defense TEAM, it is just as much their responsibility to ensure this defense is conducted properly and lawfully and by the rules, as it is Mr. Jose Baez's, lead attorney or not. And, Mr. Cheney Mason, if I could see in five minutes how ill-equipped Baez is to be handling this case, then so could you, so you should have been dotting his i's and crossing his t's, so IMO, this mess is on YOU, so suck it up.
OK, I'm done now. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Oh, wait, I have more. New client of Mr. Mason, do yourself a favor, watch a few motion hearing videos starring your new attorney, then get a yellow pages book and find you a different one. You'll thank me later.
