2010.08.16 Brad Conway Resigns

[beach]

Is it too late to put a "gag" order on CA....just CA????

Oh lord! Don't we ALL wish?!? If ONLY...

However, I hate to be the Grinch who stole Christmas, but legally NO ONE...not even Judge Perry has the authority to gag Cindy.

Funny how CA claims she and KC are cut from the same cloth but KC won't talk and you can shut CA up.

...and why was it so g-d awful important for Brad to view those files anyway? What useful information could the As glean from them as to what happened to Caylee? I never did understand George barging into the press conference. What was really behind that? What's really behind this?

I've been wondering the same thing about the MN/TM presser.
I am entertaining all possibilities, with the exception of the reason that was given.
I'm guessing GA saw the headline for the article and flew into a rage!

NeJame, Miller To Reveal All In Anthony Case

Just imagine you are GA and you read this. And you think of ALL those two men know of what went on inside that house.

JMO...

True, but I was thinking more along the lines of Casey suing her to force Cindy to keep her mouth shut...maybe even have the judge issue a gag order for Cindy only....if such a thing were possible CA would literally implode. If she could have no involvement in or comment about the case at all, no TV appearances, no letters, nothing...she would absolutely go insane.:biggrin:

Not possible I know...but one can dream.:dance:

Well when you put it that way,, yes one can dream

Maybe Jose and Cindy conspired this together to take out the attorney of the one they're aiming the bus at. Poor George is now without legal counsel. It's just a theory and one that I don't really believe since I don't believe JB is devious or clever enough to think of himself.

 

[ThinkTank]

IMO The reason for BC's resignation, is not only what JB filed as an Exhibit and stated in his Motion - it is what CINDY said that involves BC, which forces BC to take a stand and shout that it is NOT TRUE. BC must now contradict what his client, CINDY wrote to MN, and JB filed with the Court.

BC NEVER would have approved the wording in CINDY's letter to MN, IF BC had read it before she sent it to MN...... because, as BC now says .... it is NOT TRUE. CINDY says that MN would only let their attorney, BC, see the TES records, if the Anthonys filed a waiver with MN to represent TES. Now, BC will have to state, under oath, that he was not told by MN that BC could view the 4,000 TES records IF the Anthonys first signed a waiver. BC will have to state under oath that his former client, CINDY, was "mistaken" or flat out LIED.

My opinion is that Cindy lied, thinking she was helping the Defense of her Inmate daughter, by trying to intimidate or manipulate MN into turning over all 4,000 TES records to the Defense ... based on a coercion by MN regarding the waiver.

Possible ... I do believe Cindy will be hard pressed however, to find another attorney, like BC, who will allow her to go on national tv and continue to be the mouthpiece for the Defense and for planting seeds of reasonable doubt and trashing innocent people...

There's nothing in writing yet, but I played back InSession on my DVR and copied verbatim what Baez said to them...

"Brad Conway sat in my office with me and Andrea Lyon and told us that the only way he could view the documents was if George and Cindy signed a waiver."

That doesn't give me any real information. Very, very vague and he said/he said unless they want to contact Lyon!

ITA, it is a statement and only shows me that Baez once again was schooled on an legal issue..this time by Brad Conway..

Quick question: Why didn't Mr Conway resign earlier, when Cindy, one of his clients, was accusing everyone from LE to KC's friends to Tim Miller to Roy Kronk and everyone else she could think of? :waitasec:

Greed over took his sensibility and legal know how. Brad is no different than the rest of the As and JB and crew. They all see $$$ signs at the end of this trial. Either in the form of books, videos or screen rights. The longer he stayed, the more he is valuable to himself.

I agree with you that BC doesn't want to have to call his client a liar. But Cindy's letter to NeJame was dated Feb. 12, 2010 and Conway was cc'd. So he knew about it then and must not have had a problem with it then. Now that the accusations are made public he has a problem.

He decides to resign now because he might have to testify that his client is a liar yet he didn't decide to resign 6 months ago when he read the letter that proved his client is a liar.

Something about all of this confuses me. :waitasec:

Exhibit D

Cindy's letter to MN dated February 12, 2010 - IMO the motivation of this letter was to try to manipulate MN into turning over the 4,000 TES docs to JB.

I believe Cindy crafted this letter with the help of JB - certain phraseology is legal speak, and not words that Cindy would use - EX: "substantially related matter" .... "become a conflict of interest" ....

I believe Cindy did NOT allow BC to see this letter before she sent it to MN. I think BC only saw this letter when MN replied to it, and sent his response to BC instead of directly to Cindy.

BC now says that what Cindy said in this letter is NOT TRUE - about signing the waiver in return for BC reviewing the TES docs.

Interesting that JB did not include the actual Waiver in his filing - so that dates could be referenced, and research could be done on the sequence of events, such as when the Waiver was signed, and when BC actually reviewed the TES doc at MN's office.

Anyone know, offhand, when the motion to inspect TES's records was filed????

In re. the bold - this CANNOT be true, because the waiver of conflict would have HAD to have been signed BEFORE Nejame signed a contract agree to represent TES. So, MN would not have even HAD the records.


Regarding the rest of your post I tend to agree with every word and speculation. Cindy has just run amuck. Totally screwed herself with this stunt. I cannot even imagine representing someone so totally out of control.

 

[LiveLaughLuv]

Putting this in perspective, for me, anyway.

The document dump where ICA's letters to RA were made public, in them she was angry with her parents for betraying her. She knew that her parents former attorney, MN, was now representing TES. She mentions to RA, the audacity of them to:
1. have "her" attorney replaced
2. sign a waiver for this conflict of interest with MN/TES

Cindy will not ever allow ICA to view her as the enemy, they both must be on the same page, IMO...remember, CA stated that ICA was HER best friend. Mistake, mistake..

Justice for Caylee

Thank you for this! I completely overlooked the "cc: Brad Conway" on Cindy's letter!
I wonder though, if she really did send Brad a copy?
He might have to say under oath now, that he never got a copy of Cindy's letter in February?

I can't see BC giving his approval to this letter in which she accuses MN of various things .... BC would know it would cause unnecessary trouble. I don't believe BC would allow Cindy to say that MN and Tim Miller took deliberate steps to prevent Cindy from finding the truth. I think if BC had seen this letter, he would have told his client, Cindy, that the waiver is VALID, and she cannot revoke it now. BC would have also told his client that there is a COURT ORDER in place determining how the Defense will review the TES documents and MN could not just turn them over to the Defense upon Cindy's request.

I think maybe neither BC nor George saw Cindy's letter before she sent it to MN.
Why wouldn't Cindy have provided JB with a SIGNED copy of that letter?

 

[ziggy]

I think Brad saw an out and took it. He has probably wanted to get out from under Cindy's crazy making for a while now. Here he can position it as he has no choice, and leave with his integrity somewhat in tact; looking like the good guy, still supporting his former clients publicly. I don't buy any of that. Brad Conway had had it up to here and when his out came, he took it. He's going to go off now smelling like roses and the further he distances himself from the stench of CA, the better. I imagine he'll get some decent sleep

In this video of the Jan. 20, 2009 hearing regarding TES, Brad Conway addresses the waiver of conflict -

@ the 4:30 mark

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUYPwHb7Hw4[/ame]

BC: "Just so my client's wishes are clear, they want to expedite the courts ability to rule on discovery issues and expedite the ability of the defense to receive discovery"....."They have instructed me to waive conflict regarding Mr. Nejame providing information and in regards. to Caylee’s minings of the remains out of compassion and concern not only for their daughter, but for them. So they have instructed me to waive conflict."

JS: "Having said that is there anything you want the Court to do? "

BC: "To rule expeditiously and correctly on any discovery."

( Brad Conway states no less than 3 times during the less than 2 minutes he spoke, that he was instructed by George & Cindy to waive conflict. AT NO TIME does he say that he advised them to do it OR that it was against his wishes.)

Quick question: Why didn't Mr Conway resign earlier, when Cindy, one of his clients, was accusing everyone from LE to KC's friends to Tim Miller to Roy Kronk and everyone else she could think of? :waitasec:

Maybe because now Cindy has involved BC himself.
Cindy has managed to make BC look incompetent and like he is not doing his lawyerly job, at the least.
Cindy makes BC look like he is complicit with inappropriate legal maneuverings to coerce the Anthonys to sign a waiver, with ulterior motives behind it.
Cindy has directly involved Conway - so now it's personal for him.
