New allegations: Baez also broke jail rules by secretly passing messages to Casey

[nums24]

During the "emergency hearing" held today.....JB commented about "collusion" between the SAO and jail guards".

He had to have mentioned it for a specific reason. Will he later argue that any letters should be thrown out based upon the history of jail guard actions????

I don't think he has that much audacity, he himself is implicated in those letters violating jail policy.

Will this alleged activity by Baez become an issue for the Judge? Can Baez get in trouble for all this? Here's hoping!

I'm sure it happens often, but with such a high profile case, you'd think JB would know better. Especially with a client like CA -- who can't seem to keep her gob quiet.

I do hope he's sanctioned for these illegal actions.

MOO

Shhhh! Don't blow the whistle on JB & KC! We don't want him getting thrown off the case! That would be like, helping her.

Unless of course she'd have to get a public defender... but I'm sure there are other attention wh*re lawyers who would jump in to take his place just for the fame.

 

[Horace Finklestein]

He made all those accusations but he never has any evidence of anything. He clearly was violating who knows how many rules by sneaking in letters. He's crossed more lines than I can even remember and today he looked like he was going to cry. I really think he wishes he never took this case. Hope the Bar does forbid him from practicing law. He never should have been in the first place.

That's JoseB's whole purpose, IMO.That's the only thing he has done good for her in ANY capacity since she hired him. He is her appeal. MO

Yup, Ineffective/inept Counsel at it's finest, :banghead:

Yes, and did you also hear his test balloon he threw out there that the state took one high profile inmate and had her go talk to Casey to get more discovery? So the defense is saying that Robyn was acting at the behest of the state. You can bet your life a bar complaint has been made already over this, and other matters as well such as Todd putting 70 K in Baez's trust account for Casey. It is only a matter of time before Jose is off the case altogether, imo. Cheney knows this.

 

[sleutherontheside]

IMO he need not concern himself with worries about his future license to practice law.

He has too many things to fall back on.......

Books
Speaking engagements
Trademark and licensing revenue of specific terms that NG has not already claimed.
Teaching engagements at various law schools regarding "what not to do".
Employment by Univision.
Various PPV websites.

The list goes on.....

IMO JB has any number of possible avenues that he has explored. He can not possibly expect to put all his "anticipated future revenue" in the "gained via legal representation of clients" basket.

It appears to be a third-degree felony in Fla. to sneak "any written or recorded communication" into a jail:

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes...y_Statute&Search_String=&URL=Ch0944/Sec47.HTM

It would also violate the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct (ethics rules for attorneys):

Rule 4-8.4 Misconduct
A lawyer shall not: ...

(b) commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects;

(c) engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation;

In Arizona, the state bar does file its own complaints, especially in high-profile cases with media stories about attorney wrongdoing. I don't know if the Florida bar does this. Otherwise, anyone (and I mean anyone) can file a complaint.

I couldn't speculate on what the sanction would be for this type of conduct. It's a third-degree felony committed in the course of representing a client and for the apparent purpose of hiding from prosecutors communications that might be considered relevant to the case. From my point of view, this conduct justifies at the very least a significant period of suspension (like several years), particularly in light of the bar's concerns with JB back when he requested admission, which was only a few years ago.

Jail reports confirm that Inmate Anthony's attorney tried to smuggle in contraband, a plastic bracelet, into the jail for the Inmate, which is a third degree felony.

Attorney Conway CONFIRMS, on national TV, that the attorney has been passing written communication to an Inmate, which is a third degree felony.

Text messages from the Inmate's brother Lee, to their parents.
Lee confirms that the attorney is passing written communication to an Inmate, which is a third degree felony.[

 

[ThinkTank]

Not actually "new" allegations.
The Inmate wrote letters to fellow Inmate Robyn confirming that the attorney was smuggling in contraband, and these letters were released to the public April 6, 2010.
However, Attorney Conway confirmed, on national TV, that this had been going on, back in June 2009 and September 2009, as did the Inmate's mother in September 2009.
The Inmate's brother, Lee, confirmed this was going on back in August 2008 text messages to his parents, which were released to the public.

The Inmate confirms that the attorney has violated Florida law and Jail rules by passing written communication, an American Greeting card, and a friendship bracelet, numerous times to the Inmate.

But how could he possibly complain about collusion with anyone about passing of letters when his hands are dirty with the same act? (Besides, isn't JB's accusation just a wild speculation, while there is now written confirmation from several parties that JB passed communications between Casey and family?)

Would he have to prove they were in collusion to get them thrown out or is his guilty, suspicious nature enough to accomplish that?

in jb mind ICA and him never do wrong...remember this is the guy that wanted the SA out because of their attitude (or something silly along that path)--he was also the one that stated that Lamar (can't remember the last name) was using this case as a "policial move" for his reelection....everything that is done that is following guidelines is mean and evil if it goes against their "plan"

He is also the man that got yelled at for touching ICA --- He is just made because there are to many suggestions of the passing of contrabad---doesn't look to good for an "officer of the court"---

I thought that law officials were permitted to use inmates to solicite information about a crime. Once in the walls of a jail, an inmate must expect to keep his or her mouth shut. They have surely been told that anything they say or do in jail can be used against them.

It this the case in Florida or have I watched too much TV?
