yes...thank you! Doesn't she seem very good?
I have always thought that Jose was in this case, for the notariety, so I think he will take what the state offers (al though not very graciously). I almost wish Casey was assigned a PD, although it would take longer for that atty to get up to speed. I feel sure that with a good PD a plea deal would be looked at much more seriously. I have always felt that the lawyers, defense, were in this to make a buck down the road, well, it will be interesting to see how many of them feel like working for PD's pay.

Nilton Diaz --- the eariler murder case of Baez's. Interesting to scroll down and read how Baez is still trying to get payment from the court from that case. Baez is no stranger to asking the court for money. :waitasec:
That's just it - paid or not paid by I don't think when this is finally over that Baez is going to get a lot of deep pocketed customers to defend. He's going to be right back where he started.
However...I've been thinking, which can be dangerous mind you so back up a bit...can the A's throw a wrench into the trial now because they'd file against Baez for not representing KC to the fullest? Or maybe they'll claim that her bad decision in keeping JB on is a sign of mental illness?
Believe me, I'm just grasping at straws, it ain't fact.
I saw that The World, but it really wasn't clear to me when this different lawyer was approached. Can you confirm if it was before Baez made the rights deal or has it been recently?:waitasec:
Well, based on JB's appearance as a legal analysist on Geraldo the other night, I'd say he has his ducks lined up for when this fiasco trial is over......MOO. He likes the camera, $500 haircuts and expensive suits too much to go back to defending pimps, prostitutes and drunk drivers....
If I was JB I would have ridden the coat tails of TL, the DP-qualified attorney, as a co-counsel. He seemed to have a good strategy that made sense to me, originally got the DP off the table and -- JB could have gotten a relative success under his belt and moved on.
"Anytime there is a struggle between doing what is actually right and doing what seems right, then your ego is interfering with your decision." --Darren L. Johnson
Let me just say that the possibility of KC's team running out of money is very, very probable. I worked for a law firm for 25 years. A very successful Plaintiff's civil litigation firm. Huge class actions, personal liability, etc. There were times when money was stretched thin. It takes money to make money. OR it takes money to work a case properly. I'm talking up to a million dollars in expenses alone. You basically eat your hourly time until the verdict comes in. The firm would (at times) have to get their line of credit extended. But when you are into a bank for a million or so dollars, you better have (1) personal wealth to back it up or (2) a case that is expected to bring in the big bucks. And you better be able to prove your case to your banker.
So JB either has (a) a money tree in his backyard, or (b) some huge deals to be closed somewhere down the line, or (c) a private backer............because he is not representing someone where a huge monetary verdict is expected. No payola. He's in waaaaaay too deep to give up now. I'm saying he's going for the gold.

If they declare her indigent, does the defense then have to show what money they had come in and justify how it was spent? Will we know how much Baez paid himself? Baez certainly wouldn't want this information to be public knowledge.
One more question -- if she is declared indigent, will the present defense team be able to stay on and be funded by the State? I've asked this question in the question and answer thread, but don't think if was ever answered. Does anyone know?
EXACTLY. I think he will stick this out as long as possible because he sees the light of the camera at the end of the tunnel. I have said before I believe HE thinks he will wind up a legal analyst on FOX or HLN or maybe even on Mizz Naaaancy's show.
