State wants answers from Baez

[Horace Finklestein]

ITA. JB has nothing....his life has gone down the tubes since he has taken on the Casey Marie Anthony case. He is unable to influence his client to take a plea, unable to get her to understand that she is going to lose this trial. I truly believe this guy, at this point, wants off this case so badly that he is willing to gamble his license to practice law(I think he believes that in the end he'll keep it). And the sad fact is that Justice for Caylee will be back to square one if this guy shoots himself in the foot to get off this case. But I do believe one thing.....if this is how it all plays out, there will be a queue to take this guy to court for incompetence, mismanagement of state funds, mismanagement of client funds....on and on and on.

Is justice postponed still justice? It doesn't seem like it. Revenge might be a dish best served cold....but justice? no. Poor Caylee. Will she ever get justice?


MOO

I bet he does think he'll keep his license. Macaluso has been granted his license back and that thief is practicing law again. The legal system needs to be reformed.

Casey Anthony Plea Deal Unlikely Now
Tense Relationship Between Defense, Prosecution Shows In Recent Motion

"I've never seen a prosecutor hold another attorney in contempt for something so minor," said Orlando criminal defense attorney Richard Hornsby, who is not connected to the case.

At issue is a court ordered deadline that Ashton said Baez missed last week to list objections he plans to raise during an upcoming hearing.
*******************

RH seems to think missing this deadline is "something so minor" ???WTH??
Does that means the Judge's instructions and motions can be ignored in a capital murder case? Wow - maybe slid a bit sideways here RH? :waitasec:

Ah, might be true. But generally it's assumed there is a mistake, etc. All work together sort of thing. I highly doubt that other attorney's would have reacted in the snarky way that JB has be acting when responding to his.. agh... mistakes. He is USING the fact that it's allowed and laughing about it.

Bringing this all to light to the public isn't a good thing. Bragging about it..

 

[LaLaw2000]

Well, Baez and Mason did miss another deadline and the State filed their motion asking that the defense to be held in contempt. This motion will have to be addressed. I hope that the Honorable Judge Perry addresses this in the March 2nd hearing and gives Baez (and Mason) a good dressing down at that hearing, and then fines them both. Casey will be sitting front and center to hear it all, and she needs to, IMO.

There is all of this drama Baez has created from the very beginning of this case and somehow little Caylee's name has fallen by the wayside. I do feel Caylee will have justice in the long run, but the 'when' is my question. The Honorable Judge Perry has tried to keep the trial on track, but will it really stay on track despite Baez and Mason's drama? I do not want any more delays.

MOO

Bingo! It's the legal version of a magician's sleight-of-hand. Only JB needs more lessons. This is like watching a five-year-old's first attempt to distract you so they can pull a quarter out of your ear.

It's an interesting balancing act CJBP has to perform here. I am no longer so worried about "ineffective assistance of counsel" appeals (thanks largely to the wise AZ!), but at this point JB seems to be aiming his popguns toward a mistrial. I can't even begin to imagine what further hi-jinks Gilligan/Baez is planning to test the Captain's patience...

I think Baez knows exactly what he's doing. Look at it this way......Baez knows he can't get his client off, so with a mistrial he can say he didn't really loose the case. He can't win but because of the high profile of this case he doesn't want to loose it. For him it would be sort of a win\win because we know all he cares about is himself, not his client or justice. what a Doofus!

re bbm:

ITA Leila. I don't understand it either. In Ashton's motion for rule to show cause, he says the court required jose baez do "blah blah". He put the judge's instructions in quotes, but Ashton himself said it applied to Jose Baez. Wouldn't the judge's instructions have applied to the team as a whole? I understand Ashton just talked to Baez on the phone and included the Baez email, but isn't Mason technically first chair as the dp-qualified guy? I don't get it.

And I'm also curious as to how Ashton got a copy of the email Baez sent to "Jill".

Anyone know or have any guesses? It just seems odd to me that a Judicial Assistant would forward emails to the SA that aren't part of the court record. Maybe they have to?

:seeya: oo ooo I have a guess. LOL I don't know if communications with the Judge's assistant is considered the same as with the Judge himself, but I think maybe it would be considered "ex-parte" if the SA wasn't copied on the correspondence. I'm guessing JB copied JA with that email.

Sending smoke signals from his bong does not count...........:floorlaugh:

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

:clap::clap::yourock::tyou:
OMG THIS WAS AWESOME!!


Post of the day! TY TY!

 

[Ssejors]

I hope the Judge doesn't say anything to her about this doofus. It's a match made in heaven. I am looking forward to seeing his pitiful attempt at defending her during the trial . This should be somthing to watch.... I want to see him shot down in flames by the SA team, and he will be the laughing stock of the legal community, just as he deserves.

While I am with you, i whole heartedly look forward to the upcoming trial, and the circus sideshow this is the DREAM TEAM, I can't help but think that I would be even MORE pleased to see her Found GUILTY and be convicted with THE BEST AND MOST COMPETENT Defense team at her side. Then I could sleep well knowing that even though she had the best defense possible, she was still found guilty.

Now I really want to know who responded to Baez's email and what was said in the response. My imagination is off and running..........

Great Post Belle3! :takeabow:

 

[tlcya]

I wish I could say I am surprised that yet again JB has missed a deadline. No seriously, I do.

I also wish I could come up with some funny comment about how ignorant he seems to be about all matters of criminal law.

Unfortunately, I am fresh out and this has left the arena of chuckleworthy IMO and has entered the area of downright worrisome.

While I want ICA to suffer the full brunt of the consequences she has coming to her, I have genuine concerns at this point about the competency of her counsel. I fear ICA may have been right - she may well get a mistrial. Can you imagine how long it will take to retry this puppy if she does??? If she is found guilty, can you imagine how much time and money will be spent trying to keep her where she belongs while she endlessly appeals based upon innefective counsel??

I wish I found this funny but I just no longer can. I find it very worrisome.

 

[Amil]

Why is Richard Hornsby stating he is surprised at the Prosecution's request for something to be done about all these missed deadlines?

 

[A_News_Junkie]

Good Plan! Now A_News_Junkie, would that be a noun or a verb? Jose threw a twartunition in hopes the trial would blow up his career? (Oh....not a complete quote of your sentence I see...)

Do I smell a twartunition just now?

Stop goofing around or I'll twartunition you!

Or.........?:waitasec:

Yes, THWARTUNITION can be both a noun and a verb! However, it follows the rules of an initial-stress-derived-noun!
(link for jb -even though I know he won't understand it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial-stress-derived_noun)((HOW DO I KNOW? Because he doesn't understand sentence structure or even how to use a question mark when asking Jill a question! LOL)
(I even left out the H to thwart jb when he uses the word he learned on the blogs in a motion! LOL)

RH has not followed this case closely. He admitted so on his blog. He basically catches the bigger news on the case and blogs on it. His blogs are few and far between. He has not IMO seen the build up and the straight up crap that we have seen repeatedly regarding JB. It may seem minor to him as an isolated incident, but collectively JA has every right, in my book, to be down right fed up with the missed deadlines and excuses. JMO.

Regarding another poster questioning, him he states:

XXXX, contrary to popular belief I do not keep up with every single event in the Casey Anthony case. So I was unaware of Judge Perry’s authorization. Regardless, the JAC rules state that in cases where the vendor has not executed a JAC contract, the attorney will have to pay the costs out of pocket and then seek reimbursement from JAC. Judge Perry just gave them a break, likely to speed things up.http://blog.richardhornsby.com/2011/02/the-rule-of-sequestration/comment-page-1/#comment-3869

 

[logicalgirl]

Why is Richard Hornsby stating he is surprised at the Prosecution's request for something to be done about all these missed deadlines?

Because he says missing this deadline is a "minor thing" and doesn't rise to the level of asking for sanctions. That's why we are all :waitasec: WTH......

 

[SunnyinMO]

Why is Richard Hornsby stating he is surprised at the Prosecution's request for something to be done about all these missed deadlines?

IMO because he is a criminal defense attorney. And he has not followed the case as closely as he should if he is going to comment on the happenings....again just MO

Too funny - especially the small print........
:great:

 

[belle3]

u know what they say.......birds of a feather. In may of his actions and reactions he has reminded me so much of his client. In all of icas life, never made accountable for her irresponsibility, lies and obvious disregard for law and order of any kind. Now comes mr. baez, her lawyer, suffering all the same maladies and someone is trying to hold him accountable. No matter how "minor" this infraction may be, there comes a time when enough is enough. with ica her parents never got there and they lost a daughter, granddaughter and their lives. hopefully with baez they hold him accountable for the life that he has in his hands.

 

[tlcya]

Okay, I have calmed down a little bit and decided to join in the fun because, what the hell, if you don't laugh sometimes all you can do is cry so here goes.

You know those commercials where someone is caught unprepared to answer a question or makes a dumb remark and gets called on it?

Methinks JB better stock up on his twix bars for court because he will need more than a minute.

Baez needs a truckload of Twix because he is going to need all the moments he can get in this trial. And he also needs to stay in a Holiday Inn Express EVERY NIGHT. LOL.
