Former FBI Agent Reveals True Identity Of "Todd Black"

[radio]

Remember the analogy that George was giving Casey in the video call in jail about her being the CEO of the company? I believe this was his way of telling her that she could fire JB and crew. He was doing all he could to explain that they didn't run the show, but she did. George couldn't come right out and tell her to get rid of these parasites. This is one time I will take George's side.

The one thing that confuses me is if George doesn't like JB and crew, why is he allowing people that work for JB to then work for them like DC?

Of course he can tell Casey to get rid of her attorney. He just opens his mouth and says 'get rid of these parasites'. Even on film. Not pc on film, but who should care at that point?

Shadow of my mind, when I read that report, another incident also came to mind. KC had written Sherriff Berry and requested to speak with her Father (am I correct in my recollection?) and before the meeting could take place her Lawyer showed up at the jail and suddenly KC decided not to talk with her father. IIRC, GA had sat waiting to speak with her for over an hour only to be told that they wouldn't be speaking.

Now, the only thing that I can think of is at the time of that report and at the time of GA waiting to see KC, Baez chose not to let her tell whatever she wanted to tell because as her attorney he wanted to be able to use her statements (if indeed they were going to incriminate her) later on down the road as a plea. However, I then consider that the DP was on the table for awhile and whatever she was going to say wasn't used at that time to take that off the table.

Something is off and I can't put my finger on it.

What's off is a defense attorney preventing his young client from talking with her father.

Q: If Casey was innocent of the charges filed against her, what possible justification would Baez have for the need to control Casey's every verbal communication? She lies most of the time anyway, so what difference would it make?

A: He was preparing from the get-go for his client to be charged with much more serious crimes than child neglect.

He knew, the Anthonys knew, the police knew, we all knew from day (3)1 that Casey had done something very very bad to her baby.

I think having JB on tape or quoted saying GC/Fake T. Black worked for him is important if it is true on paper or not. It shows that the connection was implied, imo. (ask the law thread as I am not a lawyer!)

thanks- your right....again

Chinaris stated in a letter he sent to The Florida Bar that Press Corps Media was retained by a Connecticut family "who is sympathetic to the plight of Ms. Anthony and her family."

Do we know of any Connecticut connection? :waitasec:

 

[drip~drop]

With that group...Caylee never entered into the picture other than as a catalyst, imo. You cannot name one thing ANY of them have done towards helping Caylee (besides LP). :furious:

besides LP and le.....nope can't think of a single thing they've done for Caylee. poor baby...she deserves so much more then a circus. :cry:
moo :cow:

Because Casey would rebel and JB would reinforce his position if George had demanded her to do it. Yes, he could have come out and said, "Casey, you have a right to fire JB.". As soon as JB heard it, he would have stopped the visits altogether.

Oh wait...HE DID!

YES he did! For some reason I suppose.
But Casey seems pretty easy, maybe too
easy to control imo.

Baez's attorney, Timothy Chinaris, has stated that Baez did not retain and does not pay Press Corps Media.

I think this says it all. If you read between the lines, it would be a true statement if THEY pay JB and retained him instead.

As I mentioned before, they could get anyone to play the role of such a family and it will be difficult to battle their intentions. It is their legal "out", imo. While it looks great on paper to cover their @sses, it still doesn't mean they are not running the whole show.

Would be nice if this family would step
up and identify themselves. Interesting
anyway, although it has nothing to do
with Casey's guilt or innocence, it would
be interesting. A new attorney could be
more trouble than this one.

I think if they strip JB of the case for one reason or another (legal issues), they should appoint Casey the Public Defender she should have been given in the first place! She has no money. To allow strangers to swoop in and pay for her defense is not being done as an "act of kindness", imo.

ITA. Questionable motives!! And a real act of kindness (if this family even exists) would be for them to stop paying as it doesn't appear that JB's looking out for his client's best interest. I'm afraid he is so ineffective we'll end up with a mistrial or worse.

Not only is Baez on record saying Todd B. works for us (Kc defense team), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WHw--9AqEQ (at the 9:25 mark).
but Todd B. is on record stating Press Corp Media was retained by Baez.

"PCM has been retained By the Baez Law Firm" Todd Black

Peter Tillman, supposed President of PCM, sent a letter to the Florida Bar dated Nov. 8, 08 which states:
"No actions by this company have ever been Directed by Mr. Baez. We do not work under the direction of Mr. Baez."

It is important to note that the fax is sent from the same fax number used by Todd B in his previous faxes. Same letterhead, same contact phone number. The only difference is the different use of stamps under the letterhead.
http://www.wftv.com/news/18568272/detail.html

On Nov. 21, Timothy Chinaris, an attorney representing Baez in the inquiry stated in a letter to the Florida Bar Council "Baez did not retain and does not pay Press Corps Media."
"As the attached letter from PCM's President, Mr. Peter Tillman clearly states, PCM was retained and is paid by a family in Connecticut...... See Exhibit "D."
http://www.wftv.com/news/18568272/detail.html

On Wednesday, Baez said Chinaris' letter to the Bar is 100 percent accurate.
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-casey2909jan29,0,4457754.story?page=1

If indeed Chinaris did submit to the bar letters written by Gil C but under the name of Todd B, and if Chinaris submitted as an exhibit a letter written by Gil C but signed by Peter T, that would seem to constitute fraud. Perhaps that would mean that Chinaris and Baez could be co-conspiritors.
I suppose Baez would argue that he simply didn't know Todd B. was an alias but he has already made a statement that "I've spoken to Todd B. personally". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WHw--9AqEQ
Did Todd B. fool Baez? I highly doubt it since Baez has stated that everyone involved pursuant to the subject of money is bound by a confidentiallity agreement. Did Gil C. sign that agreement as Todd B.? If so, Baez would fire him immediately as Gil C. would not be bound.
I suspect that Baez is handcuffed to Gil C., as Gil controls the money deals that pay KC's defence. We shall see.

It would be good if the bar could request that Todd B., Gil C. and Peter T. each respond to the Bar in person. Would be interesting to see who appeared. I would guess that the Bar does not have the authority to request this however.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

If any of the (notarized) paperwork was signed by T. Black and it is known now there is no such person affiliated with the company...then why couldn't the Bar demand they all three appear in person? If T. Black cannot be produced, wouldn't it constitute fraud anyway? (It would be easy enough to send the signatures into the FBI for a comparison as to who signed the paperwork.)

Great job on finding all of those quotes and links!! I am sure those could be of interest to many people.

 

[Mouser]

The more I think about Baez' possible relationship to "Todd Black" and company, and the consequent "conflict of interest", the more startled I am. This is really major, and it will definitely compromise the trial.

I thought that too SeriouslySearching when I heard the tape of that visit in jail. I never said anything about it because I wasn't sure if he was indicating to her that she could fire her defense team or if he was indicating to her that she was the boss and she had control to put a stop to this by telling the truth.

I like your explanation. So I'm going with that one. I agree that she would have "gotten her dander" up if either GA or CA had tried to advise her on what to do about Baez and associates.

Something else is starting to click for me, for a while now, I have been getting the impression that it is KC that is refusing visits from family. (If so, CA is probably giving the explanation as not wanting the visit filmed as a way of saving face, maybe/maybe not)

Why? Well, lot's of reasons...her tone of speech when she talked to her Mother during a telephone recording from jail back in July. Her seething anger at being questioned "over and over" by CA and LA during jailhouse visits.

I am starting to think that Baez may be keeping his defendent away from her family. Not sure yet in my own mind. In the last hearing, in which KC attended, didn't the A's attorney go over to speak to Baez and what was the reaction of KC?

I am going to have to read all of the information in this thread and other threads before I can come to a conclusion. But so far it's not smelling good about Baez and associates.

In person, and at the same time.

kc more or less confirmed this in the Aug 14 tape when she told them she wasn't supposed to see them or meet with them...this was under jb instructions I'm sure...I think he was afraid she may say somethng more to them than he wanted them to know....she has implied at times that she would be willing to talk but after confering with her atty mind change..this has happened twice..once with ga and the last time on oct 14th on way to jail....he is scarred she will say more....

From WESH:

In a newly released statement, Black's company said:

"Todd Black is a security name which has been used in rotation by three different staff members on this case. Whether Mr. Cabot also participated in that rotation makes no difference whatsoever."

Would be nice to know why they think they need a security name to share. Especially the soap-opera-esque "Todd Black".

 

[SeriouslySearching]

LOL, I wish you'd stop giving Gilbert ideas! :blowkiss:

They are the ones who dreamed up the Texas/CT families already. I am just trying to figure out why. I believe it is plausible this is the very reason for the "family".
