Is this common for most attys to be everywhere??? I am glad that someone sees a potential breach of a clients right---I think all atty's need to understand "no comment" and USE IT....its not the media--its the lawyers...:furious:

IMO, Conway is really stepping over the line.
He seems to want to talk to anyone about anything at any time
just to get on tv. His going into details about George's mental health issues are unheard of. And, unless he has heard something directly from Baez, how can he give a possible time for the funeral?

 

[sweetmop]

The word "set"...to me implies finalize the date....not actually do it.

Me too. I think they will determine what date and day, and when and where it is planned.

And why was he on tv 2 weeks ago blaming Hoover for the funeral being delayed when that was so obviously a lie designed to hurt Hoover.

Where I come from it's actually a breach of the Bar Rules to be talking to the media about your case while it is still current. We get away with a quick "my client is not guilty and in due course the truth will come out"....then you go away. You would never give details.

If I told the press one of my client's was in a psych hospital, without getting his specific instructions to do that, I would expect a serious reprimand or disbarrment for my breach of my client's confidentiality.

And it is the lawyers, not the media. The media have left the As alone since Caylee was found. But BC very obviously doesn't want that, so he seems to contact them daily and have front lawn pressers etc. How ironic, in the same interview he says the As want privacy he announces a press conference on their lawn, then books about 5 more tv appearances over the next 48 hours.

Could it be that the prosecution has not tuned over the labs and toxicology results yet?

...and that is the funeral holdup??

My thought process is if the defense is going to attack the evidence they will want to see all the results of what the prosecution has, and possibly conduct there own tests to challenge.

Good question. IMO, Hoover is one of very few people in this case that has actually told the truth. Didn't Conway also say they were waiting on the second autopsy and then we find out it had been completed long ago?

My thought process is if the defense is going to attack the ecidence they will want to see all the results of what the prosecution has, and possibly conduct there own tests to challenge.

If that's the case then why can't the defense just keep a small bone sample? They don't need the entire skeleton. This is just ridiculous, waiting almost 6 weeks for a funeral.

Where did BC get his medical shingle? Who is he to give a diagnosios determining if GA is ready to be released or not? Isn't that what the Doctor's are for? Too many drama
queens.
Too many people are overstepping their boundaries in this case. It is shameful for all the disrespect given to Caylee. It's all about caylee- caylee-caylee- rember her?

 

[Marina2]

I questioned that one myself...it isn't up to BC......and I do question why he would be updating everyone due to the strict privacy laws.....HIPPA is really hard to get past in medical information---it is even harder with the potential psych dx....shame on him....(haven't really trusted him to much...his hands are in to many pots....)

BC isn't violating any HIPAA laws with his statements. He only gave his opinion. He is not privy to GA's medical record. Those who are, health care providers, insurance companies, pharmacists and such, can be held liable if information is given out.
That being said I feel that BC is wrong to make statements regarding GA's health status because he knows nothing about it (thanks to HIPAA laws) and I'm sure GA wouldn't appreciate him discussing this issue publically.

ETA: bunnyphoenix1 you're right. This could be an issue GA can take up with the bar if he is so inclined.

sorry for the spelling- having a minor breakdown over this whole mess

According to NG tonight..........GA will stay in hospital for the week, phyc ward. I doubt if a funeral would take place without him.

ATTORNEY SAYS IT'S TIME TO BURY CAYLEE
The Anthonys' attorney, Brad Conway, said he thinks George needs more time to heal.
Conway appeared on national television Monday morning. He said, in order to heal, the Anthonys lives need to return to normal and that can't begin to happen until the family buries Caylee.
Conway said George and Cindy have been criticized for delaying the burial, but the delay is not their choice.
"They've allowed the state and defense to do what they need to do in preparation for Casey Anthony's trial. That's delayed the burial of their granddaughter. And it's time now that we get on with that," Conway said.

I'm sure I'll find out that this has been discussed elsewhere, but:

What's with George and Cindy picking out jewelry for Caylee for her funeral??

Weren't the remains found "skeletal"?

Am I missing something here?

This is true, he is not in violation of the HIPPA rules. I do think both of the Anthony's know exactly what is being said. To me the entire point of all these press events by BC is to maximize the drama to soften public opinion of the A's.

it's discussed on this thread.

most believe it is to be placed in casket / urn with Caylee's remains as a token, ( among other possible sentimental tokens ) and not to be worn as jewelry in a traditional sense.

Ah. Thanks, Indigo. I guess I can kind of see that. God, heart-wrenching though.

Why take this public? All he has to do is call his ol' bud Jose, he and Miss Inmate hold all the cards. I still think it's her doing the holding up and getting her last FUs to her parents....because in her own words "Well, maybe I'm a spiteful " and that she is..

Dr. Lee doesn't specialize in looking at bones, so that reason is a crock. They don't have to wait for the state's reports to get back, they can do their own testing but they rather have everyone else do their work so that's a crock. They blamed the PI and we know that's a crock, so what's left..the spite is left.

I think that if I were in the Anthony's position, I would want to wait until I had "everything" to bury. A part of me would feel like I didn't really bury her if I knew a part of her was left behind. I agree it is time to lay her to rest, but in the grand scheme of things, she already is at rest. The burial will be a final act of closure in this event. How can there be real emotional closure when even a small part of her remains "unburied"? IMO

But the Anthonys are not on trial.... Casey is, and she is not his client. I understand what you are saying, but Conway is not breaking any laws by talking to the media.
According to Natisha Lance on NG last night, he is NOT in a psych hospital, not even the psych ward, he is in a regular room but does have a security guard outside his door. As for releasing information, the lawyer has only given generic answers... not specific ones, so I am not sure what breach of confidentiality you are reffering to. Isn't it possible that George might have given him permission to let the media know that he is okay and not coming home just yet?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Doesn't this conflict with the statement from Baez saying he has the "grand" job of releasing Caylee for burial or whatever he said?!

"They've allowed the state and defense to do what they need to do in preparation for Casey Anthony's trial. That's delayed the burial of their granddaughter. And it's time now that we get on with that," Conway said.
http://www.wftv.com/news/18568548/detail.html#- (Bolded by me)

It says to me the A fam has been in charge of this the whole time and while Baez may hold a legal right from Casey...Caylee was being held with the "blessing" from the A fam so they can try to help Casey. Nothing has changed.

Also, BC doesn't say they will bury Caylee anytime soon...only they are willing now to plan on it and set a date for it.

So the title should be changed, imo. It should read, Funeral Arrangements Could Be Planned This Week instead of leading one to believe they could hold the actual funeral this week. Not going to happen.
