What I don't understand is why LE has not interviewed these 2 PI's right away. Now they have had days to come up with some reason for doing what they did and also had days to work with Baez. I feel Baez is totally dishonest and don't think he has the right to do what he has been doing. Hiding evidence and the fact a body existed etc. I don't think a defense attorney is allowed to lie and hide evidence. I hope LE is investigating him too (and the BAR).

Let me see if I've got this straight. LP claims that the PI's filmed the area in November - but not the right area - and didn't find a body. Then they were going to sell this tape of no body in the wrong area to the media. In December, a month after the didn't find the body and before the meter reader did find the body, the PI's told him they were "going to get" this body that wasn't there. And, in his mind, this is proof that the A's knew the body was there.

Is that it?

LOL ! Yes, I think he tripped over his tongue days ago, but I always understood that he was saying he was shown it AFTER she was found.

 

[gardenhart]

Yes, he does have a law degree and he is president and ceo of a law school where he provides a law education for people who may not be able to afford it.

If he does have a degree from Lincoln Law School, according to this it was at the time a completely unaccredited law school.

The Law School has been accredited[3] by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California since 1993, but does not have or currently seek accreditation by the American Bar Association or the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Nor is the school he apparently helped cofound accredited either.

Has he ever passed the bar?

 

[creativeamanda]

NO, If you read his statement when he quit that is not the case at all.

So we are to believe what an attorney writes? I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe that he did not know that the A's were all invloved in one way, shape, or form, and felt "professionally" that he could not defend them. Five days after the filming he calls it quits. I've read the statement, and it is a typical statement I would expect an attorney to write who is just washing his hands of the whole business. I don't know how involved the grandparents were, but I am certain they were hiding something.

Yes they are third parties to Casey.
And yes, it makes it even worse that they may have known something like that at any point along the way, a month before or earlier. Of course, assuming that they did, but I just don't see them not knowing and this PI working for them on live sitings that they really bought into and in the meantime filming the disposal site for sadistic giggles. Them knowing makes much more sense.

But if nothing was found at the time wouldnt that just help them go back into denial? Ok, they got some info and thought maybe she was there, the PI's go and find nothing, they feel relief? Does that make sense?

*respectfully snipped*

Hi Manny I have been asking myself that about ALOT of the people in this case.:furious: My guess is the A's are going to next claim incompetent representation BEFORE KC even goes to trail. It has to be a defense ploy, I don't know anymore...Justice for Caylee has to come out of all this mess.raying:

Accusing your attorney of misconduct means any info you have given him is no longer privileged because the attorney has to defend himself. That would be funny.

I think this is just a prime example of water seeks it's own level. I have never seen a less professional, more unethical group of people converge under one roof in my life.

But I think making these broad of assumptions is leaping further then believing what he wrote. He stated they would not take his counsel, it just seems very plausible to me. He certainly held no punches when it came to KC.

 

[evergreen]

I think the defense team / As knew where the body was and went to location to take video of every part of the location but the body to try and prove that there was no body there just in case it was ever found. Anything wrong with this theory? Now it seems to be blowing up in their faces....

 

[BeanE]

It doesn't make any sense.
If DC left the defense team on 10-1-08 and was hired by the Anthony's then he had to have known the location of the body prior to 10-1-08. Even Baez can't be dumb enough to share that kind of info with someone that is not actively on the defense team at the time.

To me the real question is what was DC telling the Anthony's. Was he really selling them a bill of goods about Live Caylee sitings or was this a group conspiracy to mislead the public and LE, and even the grandparents knew her body was there.

If DC was not part of the defense team in November than he has no business at the scene, and if he was part of the defense and was collecting observational evidence (Shockingly legal) than he has a huge problem now that it is public information and incriminates Casey. I believe the reports that he was off the Baez payroll in Oct. which would put him there on his own accord or at the Anthony's instructions and would make me believe they were there to make sure there was no evidence.

I think you've summed up the situation and the questions perfectly.

Thank you for posting this.

 

[RR0004]

I think he is right about this only because I know he was told of this video and Joy on the 18th of December, he might have known sooner.

How do you know? Is there a link somewhere here that will bring me to this info?

It does, if they took that as evidence that Caylee wasn't dead. Less so if they just used it as a measure of what evidence against Casey was likely to be found and were therefore relieved. I go back and forth on this between they couldn't possibly be that messed up to nothing surprises me at this point.

Uggh, me too!! Both of those theories fit...:bang:

 

[WillenFan21]

Tim Miller was on Nancy Grace not long after the bones were found. He saw where the bag was found and said there was an indentation from where it sat for awhile. TM explained that it was just like if you were to pick up a log thats been sitting on the ground for awhile.

Lincoln is accredited by the state per that article.

If the grandparents covered it up, then the attorney felt professionally he could not defend the grandparents. It doesn't take much to realize that the attorney knew the A's were in too deep for him to save face by defending them. It's then he knows he does not have to take the case and he's not going to. That attorney knows something and unfortunately, it's all covered by attorney-client privilege.

 

[impatientredhead]

He is ethically bound not to incriminate his clients (George and Cindy) and his statement is completely professional and appropriate. Casey is not his client and he is free to share his very obvious opinion about her. He doesn't have that option when it comes to George and Cindy. One can still feel sympathy and pity for them while wanting to get out before the grenade goes off.

 

[LEFT-COASTER]

I really am wondering if H the PI. Is in cma (cover my a$$) mode and told this all to LP so he is not implicated in any cover up, knowing that LP would tell. That is the only thing that makes sense of him telling LP. LP stated on NG the other night that H is the PI that wanted to become part of His team back when he first went to FL.

The longer this all goes on more and more initals are added to this and it becomes like tongue tied fingers trying to type it all and keep them all straight.

 

[RR0004]

He told someone that used to post here and she told me,I forgot the number but it was over 120.

Why would anyone go around touting their IQ?! As an educator I can tell you it really doesn't necessarily mean that he's "smart" the way we think of smart. Too funny!

I can see that, I just thought he really stressed that there was a lot of misinformation out there about the A's, if he just did that to cover his basis he did a good job, he did more to convince me then most other things.

The PI's hadn't been questioned because they wouldn't come in for questioning. Baez can definitely know where the body is and not disclose it to anyone except his defense team. He cannot hide evidence as in take it into his possession or destroy it, but he can go and observe the area. He is at the time of knowing where the body is encourage his client to tell LE, but that is her choice.
