According to this article:

George Anthony's attorney, Brad Conway, said mitigation evidence would involve events that
lead up to Caylee's death.
"They're going to have to prove the relevancy of a suicide attempt after the fact," Conway said
So if I am reading this correctly and Brad is quoted correctly, then it seems like Baez is wrong in thinking this is a mitigating factor. It would be interesting to hear from a lawyer on whether Baez is wrong, Baez is covering for the bus he's looking for, or whether it could be used as mitigating.
I can see George getting up there and saying "You must save my daughter or I won't be able to survive. If you can't do it for her, do it for me and my family", but that wouldn't be used in the mitigation phase, I don't think.
Thoughts?
This post has nothing to do with molestation, but everything to do with the suicide attempt.
