You could hear the surprise in the voice of WESH-Channel's Bob Kealing as he relayed the news today.
Earlier, Kealing reported that Baez's spokeswoman did acknowledge that Anthony has sold licensing rights to photos and video.
WKMG-Channel 6's Mike DeForest reported that prosecutors are about to release a videotape of Anthony's reaction at Orange County Jail on the day Caylee's remains were found.
DeForest also reported that Baez plans to file sanctions against prosecutors, who are going to release a tape of the lawyer with his client.

Thanks to Angel Who Cares for the updates!
I wonder if this could be the licorice incident? I can't figure out what else it could be? Maybe the hugging incident? Hmm... Whatever it is it has to be interesting. It sure has my interest up!
My apologies that I have not had time to read each post in this thread and some of what I'm about to say may already have been addressed - if so I apologize.
1) I don't see where a suit or sanctions against the prosecution could be appropriate. Doesn't FL Sunshine Law say such information must be released if request is made by the press if a judge does not intervene to say don't release it? And wouldn't it be released by jail officials rather than prosecutors anyway? Isn't his beef with whether or not it was lawful to record the meeting with his client and wasn't that done by jail officials? But since it was done, isn't it required to be released to the public? I agree that if it is determined that it shouldn't have been recorded then he has grounds to keep it from being used at trial would that also mean it wouldn't be released to the public? Isn't part of the Sunshine Law's purpose so that the public can know if their officials are operating lawfully? Why then would it be withheld on the basis that it wasn't lawful?
2) I would not expect any video of Biaz and his client to be presented by prosecutors at trial - whether it's of them crying together or eating licorace or whatever. What possible weight would it have on determining Casey's guilt or innocence in this case?
3) Regarding the video of Casey's reaction to news that remains had been found off Suburban Dr, I would also not expect it to be introduced by prosecution at trial to show that she "knew" these remains were Caylee's. Didn't everyone of us also know that the moment we heard the news? Did anyone really have to wait to get the autopsy results to "know" this was Caylee? If the video comes into the trial the defense will say that she only concluded the same thing the rest of us did and her reaction was not one of "uh oh, I've been caught" but one of "omg my daughter has been killed" so I think if it comes into the trial it will more likely be introduced by the defense as the prosecution has little to gain with it, in my opinion.
4) I think much of the information that has been and will be released will not be presented by the prosecution at trial because it really doesn't go to proving the case against Casey. I also think that the release of this information has nothing to do with trying to influence the jury pool - though I acknowledge that it may do so. I think that they are just following the law and the law says the public has a right to have access to the information they have obtained - it doesn't say the public has a right to have access only to the information they intend to use at trial.
5) If I was the defendent, the defense lawyer, family or friend of the family of the defendent or of the victim, I might not want to see these videos or any of the other information released either.
6) I am not in the potential jury pool and I am none of those mentioned in #5 and even though I do sometimes think that things are released that shouldn't be - I admit it, I will read all the docs and watch all the videos and listen to all the recordings that are released. As they say, inquiring minds want to know!
I can't imagine anyone hiring this nut case after this fiasco! Now if he goes off and sales the Casey Anthony story that might net him a few bucks but at what price...then he would not only be the least thought of attorney in the legal field...he would be the most despised man alive. No, I think unless he literally pulls a rabbit out of a hat, he is done for after this case.
