Casey's Parents & Lawyers Bungle Public Relations

[Horace Finklestein]

Well, when they are silent, everybody thinks that means that they think Kc is guilty.
When they go to the National Media (only safe place) , everybody thinks they are messing everything up. So, its darned if they do and darned if they don't. It doesn't matter what they do, it won't matter. They are disliked in Orlando, they are not respected. As a matter of fact, anyone whom is attached to Kc that is on her side is generally disrespected. Their choices in protecting their daughter could not possibly be respected. Moo

Respect is earned and their actions have not earned peoples' respect. Protecting their daughter is fine until they venture into the realm of lies, false accusations and villainy. I am sure you can see the finer points of that. It's not as if people just decided to dislike the Anthony family. We're judged by our actions and I just don't think the Anthony family should be exempt from that fact.

ITA! One of my favorite all time phrases is that to GET respect, you have to EARN it. Doing what they did since day one has been one disrespectful thing after another. They don't care about anyone but themselves. I mean who does a memorial and has a list of people that they don't want there? They've been selfish from the beginning, have lashed out at everyone that has tried to help them and do the RIGHT thing, and have treated everyone like the only people who are right are the A's. I'm sorry, but all of LE, the SA, and all of the witnesses and people who tried to help out in this case can't all be wrong about Casey. They need to wake up and smell the roses before they are in a jail cell right next to door to her. The best thing they can do right now is shut up and stay out of the media, IMO.

I am so sorry this thread has been gone. There was a story about Baez blasting reporters, but no one could provide a link and there was a lot of name calling discussion based on that story.
So, I am bringing back the original post for the thread with my apologies to livelaughluv for it being gone so long.

If anyone can re link the story about Baez, it is open for discussion, but with out all the name calling and ranting please. Thanks and again I am sorry it took me so long to bring this back.

Respectfully snipped:



They did not disband the foundation: http://sunbiz.org/pdf/76670980.pdf

Note the A's now have a P.O. Box and Lee is living with Mallory.

Yes, they did not. I typed up what I would have them say if I were guiding them. It seems so very fundamental, but they are their daughter's worst nightmare, outside of Baez. It would be tough to measure the harm they have done to her case.

Casey Anthony: Jose Baez blasts WESH story on transcripts
Caylee and Casey Anthony, Jose Baez, WESH — posted by halboedeker on May, 18 2010 5:34 PM

WESH-Channel 2’s report on transcript costs in the Casey Anthony case drew a withering review — from Anthony attorney Jose Baez.

On the 4 p.m. news, WESH anchor Martha Sugalski read Baez’s critique: “Your story really showed your bias. There are thousands of transcripts ordered every day across the state and to do a story on it is pretty transparent.”

that is all I could fnd also.I am sure it is out there, I just couldn't locate it.

Apparently, the anchor just read Baez's comments on the air. They did not put up his email (assuming it was an email) and did not put this particular news broadcast online.

Wish I would have DVR's it! :banghead:

OK that at least makes sense as to why I could not locate. Thank you so much.

I think they will bear a huge responsibility in her conviction if it happens. An innocent person does not need their family to issue obviously flagrant lies and obstruct the investigation. Their actions always confirm her guilt..

 

[Muzikman]

Do we know when the ABC money was given to Casey in relation to this press conference?
Have we heard if a new bar investigation has been opened regarding Baez possibly brokering the deal for Casey?

Baez, referring to his bar investigations: "I'm not in the, uh, in the same business they are, defaming people or painting people in a false light"

I think Mr Kronk with disagree with that! :banghead:

 

[USARDOG]

They just can't help being who they are. They seem incapable of heading advice, incapable of limiting their exposure to the media, and incapable of even giving the illusion of being "normal" people. Just like JB, in their own eyes, are never wrong.

Well isn't that the kettle calling the pot black?

Oy JB open mouth and insert foot! I think that he has to be one of the most hypocritical people ever...................:furious:

I've always wondered how Baez managed to communicate with ICA, because she invents a story to her liking and then denies, denies, denies.

But now I've had to opportunity to watch many media "opportunities" Baez continues to have and see the exact same pattern. Invent a story that works for him and deny, deny, deny real facts or evidence.

Yes. That is precisely why they shouldn't have (Gone to the media). By sitting back and being quiet(think: Lee), they could have easily avoided 90% of this scrutiny. IMHO, no one would "darn them" for staying silent.

Had to respond because this is the crux of my issue regarding Cindy and George. (note my tag line: "Let me tell you something okay?...") George and Cindy were told by LE and MN what would keep this type of thing from happening to them, that if they took that route what would happen. And they did it anyway.

And, they did it for money.

IMHO, there is a difference between protecting your daughter and covering for her.

:cow:

 

[lisalei321]

I've said this over and over again, and I'm going to say it again <please forgive me>:

I think GA & CA are doing everything in their power to "publicly" show support for ICA, but, doing it in such a way that they pretty well solidify a LWOP or Death Penalty conviction.

My:twocents:

JMO of course.

 

[RainyGirl]

There is a value in the old saying out of sight out of mind. No one will ever forget the 911 excited utterance "It smells like there has been a dead body in the damn car!". That is certain. However; since the defense has yet to depose even the LE officers or have their experts examine any evidence, I feel that the trial is quite some time away. If, IF, the Anthonys and the defense lawyers could decide to remain private from here on out, perhaps some of this mess they have created could fade in folks memory by the time the trial arrives. I am not a lawyer, so this advice wont come across the lightserve, I am however the average American; and God blessed us with common sense. If I were advising the defense and the Anthonys I would give them a few, simple rules that make common sense.They quote from here, so Anthonys and defense team if you are reading here today......

1.) The only comment , ever, to be made by the defense attorney or any expert is to be: I do not comment on pending cases. Never opine publicly about this case at all, until the trial has a resolution.

2.) The Anthonys should be instructed to:

a) disband the Caylee M. A. foundation at once and seek out no camera time on any other missing persons case, unless and until their daughter is acquitted.

b) refrain from any public comments, whatsoever until the case is resolved.

"We love our daughter, that is unconditional. We loved our grand-daughter.That is perpetual. We appreciate all of the support we have had. Our family is eternally grateful for those who searched, Texas Equisearch and all of the volunteers that came from all over the nation. We are also so very thankful for the kind donors who quietly that donated money for Caylee's funeral, from all over the world! We want to thank those who prayed for Caylee, and ask that you continue to pray for our family. There will be no further public remarks until after the trial. We ask that you respect our privacy at this very difficult time."

That is the statement, the very, very last statement Brad should announce on their behalf.View attachment 7059

They should let Lee be their guide and remain private.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Well worth reading again, imo.....and thank you to TWA.

I think you are mistaken on the bolded part. I've been to Orlando a number of times since 2008 and I must say CMA is the last thing people were talking about. This is an entertainment community where everyone is pretty much involved in their day-to-day job. CMA is just another story. Defense is part of the media hype. If there were a gag order in place defense would be saying nothing. SA is not saying anything now. It makes no sense to JB to constantly be in front of the cameras unless he sees profit down the road. In the hearings the courtroom is not packed. You see the same people there time and again. So the public in Orlando is not focused on this case in there day-to-day lives. When a person who lies themselves to protect their daughter at the cost of their granddaughter they could never expect to be respected. People may feel sorry for them for being in that position but certainly would never feel an respect based on the way they have acted. jmo

I agree with you, they are damned if the do and damned if they don't. I just wanted to add that the reason they are hated so much in Orlando IS because they from the beginning wanted so much media attention. The public was outraged at the fact they were open in their support for KC despite the fact that KC had the answers about the missing grand daughter. When CA first made that 911 call she was a concerned grandmother. The public was on her side, but some how she got lost along the way. I think she was torn between being loyal to KC and being loyal to Caylee. The public saw that. In my opinion IF she would have just kept her mouth shut after the 911 call...she would be well liked and well respected in the community. Her silence would have been taken as sadness. A simple "Please help me find my grand daughter" Nothing about KC at all. She could have just said "no comment" any KC related questions. The moment she started defending KC, things went down hill. I don't fault her for standing by her daughter. I really, don't. However, I feel that the circus she created was uncalled for and all it did was hurt KC even more. In my opinion the state would not have half the evidence they have on KC if they A's would have enforced their right to remain silent. The more involved they got, the more they botched this case. Washing the clothes...the tooth brush comments...half truth comments...all insanity.

Well put! After reading the article about JB, I started to think just how much JB & ICA are alike. JB dropped out of school, had a child young, from the article it seems that he too and the truth are strangers most of the time, he taught INTERNET use to other lawyers, ICA lived on the INTERNET & Text, it seems that JB would lie, cheat, and steal to reach his objective.

What worries me about Justice for Caylee is just this. ICA & JB will take it to the end and live in the truth that they create. Without hesitation be able to spew lie after lie. The hesitation about admitting JB to the bar will be shown in this very courtroom the reason he shouldn't a be lawyer or officer of the court. The only oath JB abides by is his own self promotion.

Since he didn't come from money, joined the armed forces, and struggled to be admitted to the bar is someone I would normally respect. However, his lack of ethics and general behavior regarding this case just upsets me. I am holding my breathe that justice will prevail.:furious:

 

[gamom]

The only thing the A's have accomplished by defending Casey is to make her look guilty, IMO.

ITA. Just wanted to add that they also made the family look extremely disfunctional. Which of course make Casey look more guilty because now we can understand that the crap does not fall to far behind the butt. Or maybe the saying goes where ever there is crap you are sure to find an A$%. ( Well you get the point.)
