2009.04.07 Baez Under Investigation Again By Florida Bar

[MAMABEAR]

Do we know for sure that it was JB on the other line? Has this record been released yet?

Don't know for a fact that it was JB on the phone. Just seems strange that the Bar in investigating JB right at the same time that Casey PI and Hoover are in the spotlight. Was just trying to get it all straight in my head-----you know-----like a what if? Sorry, sometimes the stuff goin round inside my head doesn't get layed out like it should. :crazy:

 

[TotallyObsessed]

In this state they are required as "an officer of the court" to report if they have first hand knowledge of a body. I believe JB better hire himself an attorney at this point.

Thank you Turbo. I was going by what I heard the infamous THs on TV say the other night. That if KC told her lawyer, her parents, her brother where she hid the body, none of them had a "duty" to disclose that.

Obviously someone is spending some effort trying to distract the defense's focus. The prior complaint was found to be without merit and if the rumor or media statement was true it came from someone on the other side of this case. If he were such a dishonorable attorney it wouldn't have taken 3 years for the complaints to start coming. I know, his former client has a complaint but that for his appeal and quite common. As Baez said, he hopes it works, for the clients sake. The last attempt to discredit him in the court room over funding went no where so now this, at the same time as another accidental leak. How long must the little boy cry wolf before he is ignored? But more importantly, when someone places harassing complaints, shouldn't they be held accountable? I read that it isn't going to be public knowledge who the persons are but I hope someone will take action, if these are more of the same. If any of the former complaints had went anywhere, I'd view this differently but....

So this was the interview where BC was still representing DC ?

You bring up good questions. Which interview did he divulge this info? The one with BC sitting beside him or the one with his new atty?

IMO- if it was in the first interviews with BC- then we can surmise that BC and the A's were not the source. BC would not in my opinion, advise DC to talk about something that may implicate his clients in a crime or scandal.

If it was in the new one, then we can maybe guess it was JB who gave the tip.

HOWEVER- what if JB just heard about the tip from the psychic (not directly hearing any admission from Casey at all) and said to DC- if you find anything, leave it where it lays. Or don't report it, whatever.

*We are also forgetting the Lee could have been the one with the tip....

Oops - sorry MODS - evidently a huge discussion of JB's "knowing where the body is" has taken place here:

ok maybe i've fallen off the boat here, but wouldn't losing baez be a bad thing?
she might end up w/ a real attorney.
it's hard enough to see this woman being pandered to by an imbecile but to look on as she's defended by a credible, intelligent human being is just more than i can stomach.

sorry i'm not feeling very justicey right now (sooooo not a word!)

A "real attorney" would probably advise her to make a deal.
A "real attorney" wouldn't let the immoral stuff pass.
She would fire a "real attorney".

I would think all it would take would be the phone records to show this was true and that he and/or KC was telling him where to look. Either of those actions are cause for loss of his license.

I first thought he was not that stupid, but as time goes on, it appears this man will do ANYTHING to keep this case. I want to find out the REAL reason this man was hired and by whom.

I read on another thread that Jose provided KC with a prepaid phone when she was out on bond. Could Jose have been using one himself?

My guess is Yes.

If he did this to circumvent LE is this not wrong and or a crime?

I'm not sure. I just wonder if it was a prepaid phone, can LE track it?

don't worry the defence have oodles of time and anyway if casey is innocent she'll have told jose who stole her baby, he can tell us in opening statements, we'll slap our hands against our foreheads yelling, 'ahhhh, i understand: it all makes sense now!' and have a party - simples

Thank you for adding a much needed element of balance to some of the threads on this forum. I was beginning to think I was the only one who didn't have blinkers on!

To clarify, I personally want Baez off the case because I would rather have Casey represented by competent council so that in the event of her conviction we would be less likely to see the ruling overturned on appeal. However, I find JB endlessly entertaining so I suppose I will not be too torn up to see him stick it through.

That's probably why she got a pre paid phone, they are hard to track (maybe impossible) unless you have the phone itself, I think.

Yes, impossible! That is why they are the choice of drug dealers, and are called "throw away phones!"

Hers and JB's (if he had one & I think he did) are looong gone.

Was that when she was only allowed to go to JB's office and church or Dr?
Wouldn't there be a rule against having an untrackable phone if one's movements are being tracked?

I don't remember seeing this on the conditions of her release. I don't know how often the courts include cell phone restrictions when inmates are released on bond, and if they include pre paid phones in those instructions. Interesting question though.

I'm not too worried about Mr. B. He has had a publicist throughout this and now has a new one who is everywhere, talking about what a boon to his business this has been, as he works on the A case and all his many other cases. According to her, he has his nose to the grindstone and barely even notices all this stuff. I mean, what's a mere four or five complaints in three years as a lawyer?

LE asked AD about this very thing in her interview. They asked if she was given a phone either by JB or the As. She said no but she was given a new number to call KC on

It was Judge Strickland who filed the complaint. He is required to do so if he sees something that requires it. Or he could be in trouble for not reporting it.
