Lee Has An Attorney! REVISIT OLD THREAD

[thefragile7393]

In all fairness to LA, I've already heard at least one criminal lawyer/pundit on tv arguing that items from the A home being found at the scene of the remains doesn't necessarily doom Casey, since her brother might have done it. It isn't impossible that Casey's team could raise reasonable doubt by claiming something like that, all the while not expecting he'd actually get charged or anything (well, other than humiliated, etc.). Reasonable doubt. Does the attorney do civil work? Maybe LA wants to sue people for slander and libel.

Bolding mine.
Oh good grief I can see how that could happen! This has the potential to get even uglier and I'm seeing more and more why he may have gotten a lawyer.

Ok then adding to truths post. Why cant the defense say...you used some joe schmoos' DNA info, then how do we know that is caylee?

I also agree with the other posters comment about, when LP made that comment about who the father is, why didnt the A's say something then? They commented about everything else.

Did we hear all the phone calls and read all the transcripts from Lee? What was that about passing notes back and forth from Baez and the A's and casey. Maybe Lee is in hot water for stuff we dont even know about yet. But I do find it odd, that today he gets an Attorney.

What about brad? Is he still the attorney?

I do find it odd that neither Lee or the A's spoke up to dispute this rumor. They have every right to speak out against it. Maybe they don't want to draw more attention to it.

I can see him needing an attorney to protect himself against KC and her defense. Furthermore, maybe he is wanting to sue. It's possible he has been considering it for awhile, but needed to seperate himself from KC and his involvement in the case first.

Bold by me

Not every young women who is promiscuous has been abused sexually. I was never abused verbally, physically, or sexually and yet I could have been viewed as promiscuous in my younger years.

ITA. Actually -- some women just like sex and they even like variety in their sex, just like a lot of men. No big deal, just sex.

The new lawyers name is Thomas Luka, and this article claims he is representing "The Anthony's"

George and Cindy Anthony were told the remains where their granddaughter's Friday afternoon. The Anthonys were secluded in their home with their son, Lee. Their lawyer, Thomas Luka, said the Anthonys were devastated by the news. They had long held out hope their granddaughter would be found alive.".

*edit* The Anthony's go through Attorney's like most people go through Kleenex, what happened to their Attorney from last week?

The article now says "Lee's lawyer, Thomas Luka" instead of "Their lawyer, Thomas Luka" I think the WFTV corrected themselves. George and Cindy's lawyer, Brad Conway, is also quoted in the article.

It looks like Thomas Luka just represents Lee.

They did not use joe schmoo's DNA, they used a known sample of Caylee's own DNA. :waitasec:

Actually, there have been a great number of things that the A's have not commented on. Maybe Lee is in hot water, but then again maybe he's not. Why assume the worst?

I assume the worse because this is what this case is all about. Lies, cover ups nastiness. I was giving everyone the benifit of the doubt but time after time I was proven wrong.

Cindy with her lies to the FBI and LE. Plus all her public lies.

Geroge with his lies to the FBI and LE. Plus all the public lies.

Lee double talk about caseys computer when he went to toneys house to get it. First he said it was already on with a blue screen, then he said he turned it on and there was a blue screen.

Then their {cindy, george and lee}abusive hostile public behavior. what ever happened to "no comment" nd acting with grace.

Their sneaking around with each other. Like george didnt want cindy to know he went to the LE, he didnt want Lee to know he was talking with LE

Cindys news intrview more important then developing a timeline with LE< per her comment in the LE interview.

Their uncooperation in general.

You think I would have learned my lesson with Scott, for the first month I thought he was innocent, fool me once....and i was fooled again with the A's...then I caught on to their devious behavior...nope wont fall for it with Lee.

So I have come to expect the worse from them.

I think that CA and GA will be getting separate representation as well soon.

MOO

If you're talking about Mendelian inheritance of traits, kids of incest still have the same statistical likelihood of certain traits appearing as the offspring of anyone else with similar phenotype and genotype.

Eye color really can't be used as evidence of anything. It's not inherited, as many believe, in a strictly Mendelian, dominant-recessive way. That's why my blue-eyed parents had one child with brown eyes, one with green eyes, one with gray eyes, and one with hazel eyes.

It's not reasonable to draw conclusions based on physical appearance--it tells only a tiny fraction of an individual's genetic story.

That makes sense. I guess I was more just saying it's possible for the offspring of related parents to have trait that neither of the parents show physically. I have to admit I don't know much about science or genetics. I'm going off of a couple of things I read online. I prepare taxes for a living and there's nothing scientific about that. Thank goodness! lol

I bolded my theory in your statement. I think you hit the nail on the head. Maybe this is one of the few things the Anthony family did right. MOO

At the rate this is going, Cindy's two little dogs will be hiring attorneys - I know this is not funny right now, but why is everyone hiring lawyers? If Cindy, George and Lee had just come clean, been honest, and not let themselves to be dragged into Casey's own little nightmare they would have the support and respect of the general public.

 

[PhoneBoothBandit]

PhoneBoothBandit, did I say that Lee did not have a right to a lawyer? NO.

With all due respect, did I say that you said that? 'NO'.

DNA will tell this story, he didn't need an attorney until the remains were identified.
I personally feel that he had nothing to do with her death, but just may have had something to do with her birth.
JMHO, and I hate to think about it but it is very possible now.

With respect, the old "Lee is the daddy" song went off the Hit Parade awhile ago.

In the EXTREMELY unlikely event that he fathered Klee, it would have nothing to do with the killing.

Any child of KC's, even by a lawful husband, is in danger, the minute she;1) gets more attention from the husband/boyfriend than she does, 2) gets in the way of fun, or 3) she and the husband/boyfriend split up, and there's a kid left on her hands.

There are a couple of other things to remember: 1) the As DNA tests have been in and finished, and 2) Kiomara said she MET the father. He was "tall, slim, and kind of quiet." KC said he has since died, and he wasn't LA. He was just one of KCs guys.

Hey Chilly

You seem well versed in the DNA so I will ask a question of you. We know that JG had a paternity test. Would he have gotten the results too, or just KC? TIA

Me? I know next to nothing about DNA. I believe it was Jesse who ordered the parternity test so he is the one who would have gotten the results, not Casey.

I'd be hiring an atty if I even lived on their street...said hello every so often---any contact...at this rate...the bus could come.....they don't care ----:bang:

On this issue, I don't recall it ever being discussed, but in one jailhouse visit with CA and GA, KC was talking about Caylee and said "she is the best of the four of us." That struck me very odd. Of course, you would include the grandparents as "part of the child", but why would you include your brother? Maybe I'm wrong, but I just found that quite peculiar.

They do not need either the mother or the father's DNA to compare a child's known DNA to unknown DNA.

I hope I did this right to get both posts in.

They had Ceylee's known DNA from the paternity test that JG had done. If you look at a dna test results - they sorta look like a series of dots on different levels of a vertical column (bad description I know, but I hope you get the gist). So when they did the DNA on the unidentified remains, they could actually put them on top of the known DNA test and they would have matched up perfectly. So, in essense, they DID have the father's DNA, they just didn't/don't know who the father is. Sorry if this had already been answered, but I have not finished reading the thread yet and I hope what I said makes sense.

I beg to differ. If he is the father (which I believe is very possible) this also could be part of the motive. If Cindy knew (which I think she did) naming her CayLee was like throwing it in KC and Lee's face. I really think there is more to this family. Again this is JMO!!

grief or getting their stories straight?????

 

[absolut_alexis]

Just reported on WFTV Lee has just hired an attorny!

Maybe he has had an attorney for awhile and that is why he has been out of sight.
