Caylee/Casey Anthony Case: Baez Bungles Bar Admission Round 1
Orlando, FL– In the latest of what seems to be a mounting stockpile of concerns regarding tot mom defense attorney Jose Baez and a member of the defense team, Todd Macaluso, The Orlando Sentinel released the latest bombshell: The Florida Bar DENIED BAEZ ADMISSION the first time around.
Jose Angel Baez, currently under investigation by the Florida Bar Association (FBA) in a minimum of 3 separate inquiries was denied admission to the Florida Bar following his initial application in 1999. This information is in stark contrast with an interview given by Baez below where he states (paraphrase) he made a monetary and travel decision to wait 8 years for FBA membership.
Baez appealed the decision of the FBA to the Florida Supreme Court, which governs the Florida Bar. In their decision, they agreed with the FBA, issuing an order in 2000 that cataloged unpaid bills, extravagant spending and other “financial irresponsibility” up to that time. Justices reserved their strongest condemnation for his failure to stay current on support payments for his only child.
His overall behavior, they wrote, showed “a total lack of respect for the rights of others and a total lack of respect for the legal system, which is absolutely inconsistent with the character and fitness qualities required of those seeking to be afforded the highest position of trust and confidence recognized by our system of law.”
The Supreme Court order refers to Jose Baez only by his initials, J.A.B as is procedure. The initial findings of the FBA whereby Baez is denied admission are private and not subject to public information requests. In a prepared statement to the Sentinel, Baez spokes woman reminded them that Jose Baez is a member in good standing with the FBA:
“Based on your questions and actions,” she wrote, “this profile you are writing has nothing to do with Jose Baez’s representation of Casey Anthony and appears to be a sensationalist persecution of a Hispanic lawyer who has been targeted by a newspaper lucky to find itself at the center of a national story.”
O NO SHE DI’ INT….
Yes, she did, she played the race card. What does this man’s DNA have to do with how many pancakes it takes to shingle a dog house?
Perhaps she does not realize that GilTod, Gil Cabot aka Tod Black, the un-hired, un-approved, un-seen former spokesperson for Baez is listed to be of Hispanic descent in his arrest records. Or, perhaps she might note that Baez client Casey Anthony is fighting a civil defamation suit and counter-suing Zenaida Gonzalez, a woman maligned by her and her family for nearly a year, is of Hispanic descent. Cindy Anthony stated in her “12 rounds with Morgan” deposition two weeks ago that PI Dominic Casey is still watching someone in Puerto Rico.
It would seem the writing on the wall as to Baez track for this case is no longer written in invisible ink.

The Orlando Sentinel (today/SUN 5/3) has a full expose on the incredibly SLEAZY background of Bozo Baez. In great detail, they cite chapter & verse of WHY (FL Supreme Court Bar said: LOW character, lying, misrepresenting his credentials, misrepresenting his qualifications, personal bankruptcy, NOT paying child support for five years) and on and on it goes.
A LITANY of gross misconduct and lack of character, etc that kept the FL BAR from allowing Bozo to practice law for 8-YEARS.
This creep is the perfect lawyer for Casey … and she picked HIM ALL BY herself (from a jail house inmate’s referral). LIKE really does draw LIKE. ALL of them (Cindy, George, CMA LEE, Casey –and Bozo Baez are THE SAME). Bozo could be the 3rd Anthony child. His character precisely matches theirs’
No good can ever come of a relationship built on negativity and evil. Casey thinks she’s won because she’s co-opted Baez; she seduced him so she could control him –which makes HER think, she is still in control.
She’s in control of her own conviction, that’s all.
I am sorry, but he is THE WORST speaker. He is not articulate and he cannot complete simple sentences in this video. I can only imagine the judge in this case, the jury and the courtroom having to sit for hours and listen to this guy speak. He is hard to listen to….jmo
“O NO SHE DI’ INT….

True ‘dat Blink!!
I love you blink…I would comment on this post, but I have to go shingle my dogs house with pancakes…I’ll let you know what the final count is…
Lol, I hear it depends on the size of the CAT..

HI BLINK..
REGARDING JOSE “DEVIL” BAEZ…..
I AM SOOOOO DELIGHTED THAT YOU USED THAT VIDEO IN YOUR PIECE…
BUT, WHAT I REALLY LAUGHED AT WAS THE FACT THAT BOZO DEVIL BAEZ DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL IN THE 9TH GRADE!…
BOZO AND HIS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE CLIENT CASEY ANTHONY HAVE EVEN MORE IN COMMON THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT….AT LEAST BOZO WENT ON TO GET HIS G.E.D….PUT THAT FEATHER IN YOUR CAP BOZO BAEZ!
TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION…
Q: WILL BOZO BAEZ GET TOSSED OFF THE DEFENSE?
Q: I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT CASEY AND BOZO WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR DURING THE TIME SHE WAS “BONDED OUT” AND SPENDING 8 HOURS A DAY -40 HOURS A WEEK AT BOZO’S OFFICE…
KNOWING NOW THAT BOZO BAEZ IS THE BIGGEST SLEAZY LOSER IN THE UNIVERSE, DON’T YOU THINK THAT A “RAPE ACCUSATION”/ “SEXUAL MISCONDUCT” CHARGE WILL BE ADDED TO THE “INNEFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNCIL ” LAWSUIT THAT CASEY ANTHONY ( LAW STUDENT IN TRAINING ) IS BUSY PREPARING?
ANYWAY, TOOOOOO POETIC FOR WORDS!
I FELT THE ORLANDO SENTINEL ARTICLE SHOULD BE POSTED AND ENJOYED IN ITS ENTIRETY…
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/caylee-anthony/orl-casey-anthony-lawyer-jose-baez-caylee-050309,0,3439656.story
Thanks J but it is linked in the article as well. He did a very thorough job.
B
blink: can you clear something up for me? In the new doc release, the wording of the FBI report that excludes George, Cindy and Lee from finger prints on the duct tape, does that not imply that there must be a fingerprint on the duct tape found on Caylee’s body? In other documents I have read, to exclude means that there must be an original something being compared. as in DNA exclusions in parentage issues. Per Baez and Casey Anthony, did two sleazeballs ever deserve each other more? He wants a real career and she wants…somebody to manipulate?
That is correct, there has to be a “control” or something to test against. I believe there are 2 partial latents on that tape belonging to Casey Anthony.
B
Blink, the Anthony’s are a family of imbeciles so narcissistic they actually believe they’re something special. Nobody would give these fools a second thought had that adorable, absolutely beautiful, enchanting child, Caylee Marie, not been murdered by her mother.
Caylee’s memorial service was just awful, particularly when Lee got up to speak. These people, especially Casey, are as dumb as a box of rocks.
I don’t mean to be so unkind, because this family is suffering. But, now we learn that Casey’s lawyer, Jose Baez, is a lowlife. Not only that, the man was barred from the Florida Bar for 8 years? Could Casey have made a poorer choice in attorneys?
How is it that this buffoon hasn’t been thrown off this case by the judge? Is anyone competent in the Florida courts? No wonder the prosecutor can barely stand to be in Baez’ proximity.
@#4 Nancy Drew4Life—-LOL…Thanks for the humour for today. Blink, even for a crime website which often reports the most depressing of news…visiting this page always seem to make my day!
Thanks for that as well.
On latest w/BAEZ==== HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Too funny. I love it. I’m going to love watching CA’s trial and subsequent sentencing even more though. …Can’t wait! =D
Have a nice evening, Monkeys.
HEY BLINK…
I WONDER IF BOB KEALING OF WESH NEWS WILL CONTINUE SUCKING UP TO BOZO – PROUD TO BE A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT AND G.E.D. RECEPIENT—BAEZ AFTER HIS MOST RECENT PUBLIC HUMILIATION…DO YOU KNOW WHY THERE IS SUCH AN OBVIOUS “BRO-MANCE LOVE-FEST” BETWEEN THOSE TWO??.
THE TIMING OF THE RELEASE OF THE ARTICLE COULD NOT BE BETTER ESPECIALLY AFTER THE RELEASE OF THAT LAST BATCH OF DISCOVERY..DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE “REDACTED” PORTIONS WERE?…(P.S.. I LAUGHED MY A#@# OFF WHEN I READ ” WER’E HERE , WE’RE REDACTED ,GET USED TO IT!” TOOOO FUNNY).
AND, SO HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN A CRIME WRITER? HEE HEE…
J
Thank you.

This post was so chock-filled I did not know where to start the chuckle or end it

Woa, Blink, love your work…but the FBI report on the duct tape clearly states “The requested latent print examinations were conducted, but no latent prints were detected.”
No prints were found on the tape from the crime scene.
That being said, I will give you this: The tape found on the gas can has been found to be consistent with the tape from the crime scene. And we have NOT seen the results of any latent print exams of the gas can duct tape.
JWG- you are a proven purveyor of fact, I admire your work. You said:
“The requested latent print examinations were conducted, but no latent prints were detected.”
How can you quantify from that, that Casey’s were conducted or detected?
Gas can prints do not a death penalty case make. There is no chlorofrom detected in this sweet child’s hair. One has to ponder in the reverse- If all that is true, what makes this a capital case.. what don’s I know that make the prosecution put hte DP B A C K on the table?
B
I cannot say that detecting KC’s prints on the gas can duct tape raises the level of the evidence in the case to DP.
All I can say is that some 250+ pieces of evidence have been submitted to the FBI for analysis and we have seen partial results on only 80 items.
FBI early on released reports that showed there was a body in the trunk to get the Grand Jury indictment, but since then their reports have not shown anything. Yet I believe the FBI has found something. IMHO they are holding onto the reports until they can make them “final”. Of course, they can communicate via telephone with OCSO and the SA office and inform them of their “preliminary” findings. Unless it is in writing, however, Jose won’t see it.
I think this “stonewalling” is what is behind Baez’s blundering motions to get evidence from the FBI. He knows they are sitting on some reports, but he does not know how to get them. He cannot get them from OCSO or the SA because they do not have them.
Its a game of poker right now, and the prosecution team (FBI, OCSO, and SA) is daring Jose to guess what they have.
I agree completely, but I was not referring to the duct tape on the gas cans. I was referring to the duct tape found on Baby Caylee’s skull. The evidentiary intake procedure and burden to discovery is different for the FBI, we probably will not see the weight of the State’s case until trial. Baez is a neophyte in a suit, imo.
B
Ok… so this explains the ‘birds of a feather togetherness’ of Macaluso and Baez with their respective bar association problems. But what does it imply for competency of council issues for the Anthony’s. George stated he had no use for Baez from ‘personal experience’ (to LE, early interview). So will they drop the bomb on Baez if they need to help Casey appeal should she be convicted?
What responsibility does Florida Bar have to any of these character problems with regards to the law and shouldn’t they have protected the public against this lawyer? Or was there a ‘second chance’ after the 8 year hiatus?
ah, yes,, now i get it cuz i was thinking sunshine law ;come on is this all you got,, you gotta be sitting on something ,was making me wonder just what the ins ,outs of sunshine law are. but the fbi probably aint under the state sunshine law (?) and the fbi has way more creditablity and weight ,your right the fbi has it .but still i have to say casey’s fingerprints on the duct tape still doesnt prove it ,i still see where she has a potential alibi for the duct tape ,depending on the specifics .
I’ve never seen such a disparaging write-up on any attorney in a high profile case. It may be that there weren’t obvious skeletons in the closet for others. However, I find it hard to believe that ALL other lawyers are above board and reproach. This isn’t an attack on lawyers, I’m just thinking that there has to be a percentage of slime in all occupations. If he isn’t removed from this case or practice in general, from the Bar, does he now have an additional avenue for appeal with this article? It seems unprecedented. Can he use this as a reason why jurors were prejudiced against him, thus his client was convicted, should that happen? Is the Orlando Sentinel distributed all over Florida including Miami, where he is likely hoping to proceed with the case since he’s mentioned his hispanic heritage so frequently?
How long does it typically take for the Bar to resolve complaints? They seemed to resolve the last complaint rather quickly. Is it like court where they listen to witnesses, etc.?
I wonder if Baez ever hooked up with Casey on the party train? Angel sounds like a OG party animal.
Fact we now see Baez cares zero about his own chid makes perfect sense he views Casey as a good mom in that she has the same inclination he does…not caring about their own flesh and blood and having NO inner turmoil over it at all. Sad.
Oops, his own CHILD. (it’s monday)
What about the heart? it seems that everyone is focusing on the duct tape.
From my understanding the heart was placed on the duct tape. Maybe she had to lick it like a stamp or possibly she kissed it?
I know you are talking about finger prints, but don’t they sometimes refer to dna as a type of finger print. Also, when placing a small sticker I would think there would be one big print on top.
What a holy mess this trial is……I find it hard to believe that this case will go to trial even in October. Bozo Baez seems to be a total screw up while the rest of the posse seems to be running around in circles. With so much at stake herem the prosecution HAS to have a smoking gun up thier sleeve for the DP to be back on the table…..not that this hasn’t be interesting, but maybe Flordia should change their laws and STOP releasing the entire all the to the public. Don’t get me wrong here, it just seems it is NOT helping the proscutor here…Maybe Im wrong, but too many maybe’s, what ifs, and not sures might hurt…Not to mention, all the evidence being put out there….What is the real purpose of it? With so much out here to be read , are they making it easier for Tot mom to get off? That would be the saddest part of this whole mess…..Just seems this whole case is being defended by the Three Stooges and proscuted by Three Blind Mice……Tot mom is never going to cop a plea, even if they had a picture of her with Caylee in the garbage bag……Do they really have hard proof…..REALLY HARD proof she did it??????
sweetpea…good point re: the heart. You may be correct in that Casey’s finger print is on it.
Our world is upsidedown anymore!
Blink, After reading this article about Jose Baez in the Orlando Sentinel, wouldn’t you think someone in the Anthony clan would go talk to Casey or secure other representation for her? That assumes of course they care about her having a competent defense lawyer for her.
Personally, I think Baez is exactly the kind of lawyer she deserves. But what about the judge and prosecutors? It seems one could drive a Mack truck through the hole this slimeball attorney creates as grounds for insufficient counsel appeals. Is there nothing the Florida Bar is able to do, pre-trial, to get Baez off this case?
I’ve never seen a case where the defense lawyer attracted so much ill will and negative press to his client. The man is truly loathsome. You’d think someone would with the authority to do so would take action. There’s going to be a total miscarriage of justice if this isn’t rectified.
Poor little Caylee. Justice for her demands that this trial be conducted by reputable lawyers. This child’s murder must be avenged. Florida must clean up its laws and judiciary. Their children’s lives are in jeopardy. Is anyone paying attention to justice for the child victims in Florida?
Does anyone in the Anthony clan really give a damn about Caylee? About seeking justice for her death? I wonder.
chitown lady, I don’t think even a smidgeon of the damaging evidence has been released. I agree with others, the FBI has the evidence that puts this case in the DP category. This is like a huge jigsaw puzzle to me, I may have a corner filled in, but I’m far from having a complete picture.
George Anthony quote about Jose Baez, July 24, 2009, audio interview OCSO (WFTV version just past 20 minute mark):
“I don’t like this friggin’ attorney that she has… I can tell you that right now from experience, I don’t like the guy”.
What personal experience, I wonder… did Casey know about this personal experience and was it her reason to check him out for her own purposes if she did pre-meditate and plan well in advance?
He said that then, but if everyone noticed, they like him just peachy now.. Wonder why that is?
Maybe his non profit experience?
B
(oops sorry– 2008, not 2009 of course)
This is off topic but I wasn’t sure how to bring it to your attention. There’s a missing 3-year-old boy in San Bernardino, California and the story already sounds suspicious.

Hi. I am new here to comments. I just have 1 question that has come to mind. Was Lee’s girlfriend Mallory interviewed by police and where is that interview??
Blink, I can’t take credit for this question, but I find it interesting. Do you think the maggots found in Casey’s car trunk are one of the key pieces of evidence the State is going to be able to use for the DP? I completely forgot about them and I haven’t seen any information about them in the documents released.
At one time I followed this case everyday. I’m so sickened by the Anthony’s and Jose Baez that I can’t follow it anymore. It’s disgusting what happened to that little girl.
I was just wondering if anybody thinks Casey will throw Cindy under the bus.This would be the ultimate revenge for her.I think C & G are afraid of Casey for some reason.
Vicky- somewhere on here I did an entire article on that. Yes I do.
B
Just caught something that Linda K-B said in her most recent NY morning talk show appearance– every day since she’s been on the case, and that’s “December 11th”– ok, here’s the question this raises for me, is what a coincidence that she came on board, signed the retainer or whatever agreement was necessary for her to join Baez and his team, right on the very day that Caylee’s remains were found. What a coincidence that a forensic specialist was right on board the same day the remains of a yet undetermined child, were located. Why would Baez know to bring Linda Kenny-Baden on board on that specific date, not a week or month earlier, and the agreement was obviously ‘in place’ to kick in when the baby was located… if that’s so, then Baez knew that it was only a matter of time that the baby would be located so was he prepared for K-B to sign on the dotted line on December 11th? Why not wait until the body was confirmed as that of Caylee, as if it were not, then they could simply keep on the ‘she’s alive’ program.
Well, well, well…Who’d a thunk it..ole Baez could make more money not being a lawyer and running non profit agencies? Whom..I smell a fox in the hen house…..this relationship between attorney and client and the client’s famiy was perfect..maybe all the bad guys will go down like a string of dominoes in this case.
lol, I think we need to review that doc again we thought wasn’t his.
B
“Anthony Attorney Wants Trial Moved To South Fla.” This isn’t exactly a newsflash, now is it?
Makes sense. He can hump bikinis for his companies on the corner in the morner before court opens.
“BAEZ DOUBLE DIPS” will be my title.
B
O M G, Blink! All I can say after that video and article is Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
What a toolbag he is!
RE post #31
long time reader…first time poster
i also learned of this today…
blink, how DO, you determine which cases are worthy of this site?? Because this one seems pretty peculiar…
Blink..anytime you want to review said docs..I am with you babe.
Peace and hugs..Gypsy
Reply to #36….Yeah..they look a little too proactive by the timing of Linda Baden coming on the case, not to mention Dom Casey and friend looking for remains with the express orders not to call 911.
Baez is a Deadbeat Dad..bad check writer,with poor financial morals…hmmm..is this a courtship made in Hell or not………he is probably taking pointers from Casey. And lending ole George and Cindy some sound advice on how they and KFN can profit from this whole ordeal. Hope the IRS has them in their sights..their is only so much “stuff” that can be written off..without proof it is being used..to find missing children. And a bass boat is just the start..most missing children are not floating on the surface looking for a friendly boater to come along and rescue them. Nor are they in parking lots where the money jars are located….How many missing children has KFN, George, Cindy and company found to date……….
You and I live in rural areas.. Doesn’t it remind you of when the meanest, fattest buzzard that can’t fly or intimidate the others trying to get his spot on the carcass just circles around the group waiting to get “in”?
There is never going to be an explanation I understand that justifies this man’s egregious abandonment of morality.
B
‘Double Dipping, perfect Blink!’ He’s doing another version of the double dip rag today, think he’s taking Cindy’s cue this time, selecting which media he likes, which he doesn’t, doing favors to the ones he likes, telling the others a different story. Like giving candy to some of his little friends while others have to stand by and watch– saying he would not give his court motion to anyone before it was filed, then giving it to the media who are in his good books. We know Cindy loves Channel 6, WESH did the special sit-down interviews with Baez a week or so ago, but poor Kathi Belich, who hasn’t pulled punches with the Anthony/Baez gang, is the kid left on the sidelines after teams are picked on the schoolground and who misses out on the candy.
This is funny– Baez using the media and blaming it at the same time! http://www.wftv.com/video/19366689/index.html
well get ready and bone up on ‘ugly coping’ cuz i think kleats right with out knowing what they got ,seems baez cant form his defense,depending on what hard evidence they have ,i think baez is going to blame all the casey kool aid on ‘ugly coping’not just the shopping and even before june 16 ie: the stealing, it will a soft pedaled mental ploy.
Let’s see if Baez/Casey/Cindy camp can actually get his ‘favored’ reporters who work in his favor and tread carefully to get their ‘treats’, to turn the media into his own little spin machine. Cindy couldn’t get it to work for her with her tactics of ‘threat’ if you don’t do what I want, but maybe Baez will get somewhere with his cozy-up tactics for an inside scoop or three. (the public is savy though– this could backfire in a big way for him!)
so the zanny nanny is a figament of imagination in the mind of an ugly coper , i was hoping it was george’s alter drag ego ,when cindy leaves for work ,ZANNY emerges (casey did say between 9:30 and 1:00),why was george a regular at that hotel?
well to me ,the premeditation evidence is crucial and who will have the duct being placed post mortem evidence?
the question i wonder with the duct tape is : was it placed upon the child at the time of determining the child dead? or at the time of disposal or much later as in after the search was on.
Susan-
I found this site recently, so this is probably something that has been discussed, but I am glad to see that I’m not the only one that thinks ol’ George is a drag queen wanna be. The way he flashed those eyes in the interrogation for Zenida was really over the top.
Also, I must have missed something; “What hotel”???
TOP TEN REASONS BOZO Baez wants trial moved to MIAMI …
#10 HISPANICS outnumber EVERYBODY else down there 3-to-1.
#9 TELEMUNDO, DIARIO & other Spanish stations don’t cover the murder LIKE the rest of the WORLD.
#8 BOZO can get his family & former friends to do his LAUNDRY everyday.
#7 TACOs & Spanish rice so much BETTER in Miami.
#6 Bozo ACTUALLY believes there are people in Miami who think well of him.
#5 Bozo worked as an INTERN on some “real” cases that were victorious for the lawyers HE HELPED. *HE naturally tried to TAKE CREDIT for winning THEM.
#4 Bozo looks like EVERYBODY else; so he won’t get tagged everywhere he goes. Suddenly, he’s overcome with fond memories of his HISPANIC ethnicity. (HUG a Hispanic)
#3 The entire Florida Bar is evacuating Miami for a whole season –Bozo hopes to sneak HIS CASE in then.
#2 The ORLANDO SENTINEL did a truthful expose outlining Bozo’s REAL background (not his comic PRETEND one on his web site) so he’s hoping NOBODY in Miami READS the Sentinel.
AND: the NUMBER ONE REASON BOZO Baez wants Casey’s trial MOVED TO miami …
#1 BOZO is seriously HOPING ENOUGH JURORS WON’T SPEAK ENGLISH WELL ENOUGH to understand HOW Casey killed Caylee…
AND besides: LATIN MEN would NEVER understand CRAZY Americano chicks like Casey and Cindy.
