I just can't believe how many liars, thiefs, victims, fame mongers and greedy sneaky people there are in this family and attached to this case.
Quite a while back the astrologers suggested one of the lawyers would be dropping out before trial, iirc.
Astounding, ain't it?
I can't really tell if this is an opinion, black & white letter of the Florida law, or a premise from a line of cases.
Either way though, my opinion is that if indeed JB is acting so as to broker entertainment & media deals, his bigger concern is the issue of whether or not that would be considered to be a contingency fee.
Because, under the Florida code of Ethics, as everywhere, the notion of a contingency fee arrangement in a criminal case is forbidden, and not something lawyers play around with if they value their license to practice law.
Humble-Opinion:wolf:
And I personally, would never say never , but again, that's just me and my humble opinion.
I feel like a country bumpkin. I had no idea just how much money could be made off a death. Poor little Caylee, she has become a commodity. I thought we were talking 200,000. not chump change but not enough to run screaming through the streets for.
But, if lawyers make that much and KC has 8 of them and the SA said the trial could last 4 weeks. (at $3000. a day during trial x 30 days x 8 lawyers!)Yikes! In order for them to be paid supposedly by selling pics, video, life stories ect somebody has to be making mony off selling these things. Just how much money are we talking here?
I know I shouldn't be so surprised but I totally am. If the courts don't shut them down from selling the story of Caylee,'misplacing' babies may become a national pastime!
Does anyone know if this Motion Hearing will be televised?
TIA!
Yes it will![]()
I knew LE and the Feds (ala DC and JH interviews) were interested in the relationship between Baez and Caitlyn. Now I know exactly why!
ETA: I think it must have always been a head scratcher for the SA office when Baez ignored a perfectly good plea deal. A plea deal most attorney's would have jumped through hoops to get.
Wow! Where did you hear that? Last I heard we didn't know if it would be public at all. tia
I agree it's repugnant but I question whether or not there is an actual conflict. Perhaps it can be shown that JB steered the case in a direction to cause those pictures and videos to be worth large sums to pay his fees. I'm hoping the state has the evidence to show the likelihood. It doesn't seem likely they'd file this motion without anything to back it up other than media rumors. If that's all they have now, the question would be, why not file it months ago?
But who would have made them contingent? Casey never had independent counsel I presume? Wouldnt she have had to for that?

So if Baez is the one who got her to sign contingency paperwork then it could be voided? I'm thinking one of the other bandwagonites is in on the deal to give it the air of legitimacy.
What if Joses office underling is the one who drew up the paperwork and presented it to her does it still fall under the JB umbrella? Or if Linda Baden drew it up and gave it? She was brought in by JB so wouldn't she (or anyone he brought in for that matter) be "tainted" as well?
Have we heard when this hearing will be?
I have asked this from the beginning and Baez is taking that girl for a ride in my opinion. She has the intelligence level of a 14 year old and has no ability to access her situation and how the courts work. I believe he needs to be removed from the case in the interest of her getting a fair trial.
I totally believe her to be guilty, but even a guilty person deserves to be able to make "INFORMED DECISIONS" about their life or death, and he has her so isolated, she is being denied that. I wonder if he is using the money for more than her defense.
