In passing I heard Vinnie Politan talk about ethics
Posted: Jul 12, 2011
If there is an attorney client privilege can a defense attorney throw something out like Jose Baez did regarding sexual abuse and drowning death without sufficient proof to back it up and claim attorney client privilege as to the source? HLN showed clips of Baez making statements that he thought Caylee was in New York or the Carolinas prior to her body being found. HLN also showed clips of Baez saying Casey was not present when Caylee died. HLN showed clips of Baez making many contradictory statements to his surpriise opening statements in court that Casey was present at the drowning death.
I wonder if Baez can get away with this from an ethics point of view. It seems to me if he knew his client's daughter's death was accidental he would have had to present this to the prosecution and try to work out a deal based on this accident rather than let her sit in jail for 3 years.
The question raised by HLN Vinnie Politan is what did Baez know and when did he know it. Will anyone be looking into this?
Wasn't Jose Baez threatened with sanctions and being held in comtempt by Judge Perry for breaking rules. Hopefully the Florida Bar will look into his tactics if Judge Perry follows through.

Press conference by law enforcement team involved - in Casey Anthony case.
[ In Reply To ..]I think more and more is going to come out about this case that will keep people angry at the not guilty verdict and everyone involved in it like Casey's lawyers and the jury.
Interesting. Cindy may still undergo perjury charges. - mtme
[ In Reply To ..]It will be up to the state. Maybe because of the public outcry they will follow through.
Law enforcement does not need to provide security. They only need to follow up on valid threats to Casey Anthony's life. Let's hope no one warns Casey if they intend to take justice into their own hands and give her the justice the jurors didn't.
You really are crazy, - aren't you?
[ In Reply To ..]Glad that people are threatening the jury and want to see someone take "justice into their own hands" for Casey. Perhaps, you both belong in a cell.
? Glad that people are threatening a jury ? - mtme
[ In Reply To ..]Who is glad people are threatening the jury? Are you crazy? That is nowhere in my post.
I really wouldn't want someone to take justice in their hands because I would not want them to go to prison for attacking Casey Anthony.
Are you confused believing different posts and views belong to the same poster, although I haven't seen any post about someone being glad people are threatening jurors.
My lips are - sealed.
[ In Reply To ..]According to former sex-crimes prosecutor Wendy Murphy, there's a sealed file on Casey Anthony.
www.PatriotLedger.com
what does that mean? - sealed file?

Jailed video has been sealed - Sunshine State MT
[ In Reply To ..]I'm not sure what the above poster was referring to but in reading our local newspaper today, a TV station is trying to unseal the 2008 jail-house video showing Casey's reaction to the news that Caylee's REMAINS were found.
It basically states that a judge sealed the video in 2009 saying its release could be highly inflammatory and ruin Anthony's chance for a fair trial.
Defendants change their stories as time goes on. - When the story changes,
[ In Reply To ..]the Defense needs to alter the defense. I keep in mind who the client is, someone who lies with the greatness of ease, and all her fables suit her advantage. Based on the runaround she gave LE, maybe J. Baez stepped on a merry-go-round, too. Past behavior is a good indicator of future behavior. The assumption is that defense attorneys operate ethically, with integrity. Attorney/client privilege inhibits monitoring of this standard. In opening statement, a defense attorney can make whatever declarative statement he wants; however, if evidence is not presented during evidence phase, he's disallowed from making that statement during closing argument, like the sexual molestation allegation against George. Jose Baez' obligation to Casey was to "zealously defend" her, which sounds open to interpretation, like "beyond a reasonable doubt."
Attorneys cannot knowingly lie - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Say Casey told him that screwball story. Considering she's demonstrated being somewhat of a pathological layer, Baez would be better off taking this at face value. He can then bring it up in the opening arguments even though he knows it will be shot down by the judge (anybody that has listened to any of the juror interviews know it was a successful tactic).
Were he to actually investigate any part of her story and find it was untrue and tried to present it as truth, there is punishment involved (I don't remember off hand whether it's sanctions, fines, whatever).
Which also gave him the leeway to put forth whatever wild theories he wanted. He doesn't know if they're true or false, so he's got away with mentioning them the first time unsanctioned, although he was not allowed to repeat them.
