HOT MESS SPOILER ALERT

Who thought this was a good idea on behalf of THE BAEZ LAW FIRM?

Who raised their hand at the weekly status update and said:

“I’m sick of this crapp-ass coffee, I make $300 bucks an hour.

I make big bucks so I should be drinking STARbucks.

Gimme a Venti. I can’t drink this swill another 3/4 hour minimum or I will surely die before the trial.

I KNOW.. how about we figure out a way to make OTHERS pay for it??

Sound ridiculous?

That is nothing compared to the caught-on-camera cluster that took place during yesterdays  hearing to declare accused murderer Casey Anthony indigent for costs.

 Andrea Lyon, lead counsel and chronic look-of-woehaver, feels approximately $70Geeze of her “charity’s” money has been spent on this case. (Edited to add, methinks she is subtracting $22Geeze, read on)

The Center For Justice In Capital Cases 

SHUT THE DOOR. This is no charity, except perhaps to Lyon as she is a paid staff member, serving as it’s director.

It is a certification study class at DePaul, run by Lyon and paid by the defense PI Morty. 

Furthermore, as the work product developed in this case supports the curriculum and subsequent GPA of it’s tuitionable students, why the hell would the expenses be allocated to the defense of the case against Casey Anthony instead of DePaul? 

There is no charity attributable to Andrea Lyon although she testifies to fund raising efforts through various charities and corporations, and that those charities are now, “in the hole.” $70Geeze, to be exact.

Is this the part where we here her use of the word charity was a charitable way to say she imposed on her budget as a professor? 

I will say, given her penchant for hardass reporting from her students, how is it possible she has no clue what her books and billable hour are?

There are 14 students working on a death penalty case that are not attorneys, and client attorney privilege would not extend to them as their is no established agency. If I were the National Enquirer I would be finding out which of those undergrads have fat student loans and what kind of access to information they have. Catch My drift?

SanDiego Sugga Daddy

Todd Macaluso, apparently so sure of Casey’s innocence he gassed up the whirlybird, packed his lucky smoking jacket and signed on to the case.  

Jose Baez testified that Todd Macaluso gifted $70 Geeze to the trust account of Casey Anthony. Operating pro hac vice (visitors pass) as representation with his own retainer agreement with Miss Anthony, Mac has violated the rules of the Florida Bar:

RULE 4-1.8 CONFLICT OF INTEREST; PROHIBITED AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

(e) Financial Assistance to Client. A lawyer shall not provide financial assistance to a client in connection with pending or contemplated litigation, except that:

(1) a lawyer may advance court costs and expenses of litigation, the repayment of which may be contingent on the outcome of the matter; and

(2) a lawyer representing an indigent client may pay court costs and expenses of litigation on behalf of the client.

 As Casey had access to $275K and was not indigent 10 months ago when Todd Macaluso signed on and paid his apparent entry fee, it would be impossible to defend this “contribution” as legal under Florida law.

ABC

The Approving Bogs for Children company has paid out $200 Geeze.

“In August 2008, we licensed exclusive rights to an extensive library of photos and home videos for use by our broadcast platforms, affiliates and international partners. No use of the material was tied to any interview.”

..”The deal was done with an attorney representing several owners of copyrighted content,  ABC News spokeswoman Cathie Levine said. That attorney is Baez, she added..”

Really, not tied to any interview? When did those images and videos debut on GMA exactly? Who was on that program when they were shown?

I am quite certain I heard Jose Baez say in sworn testimony that he retained Tim Chinaris, former head of Florida Bar ethical committee to field such inquiries and all were turned down. He added that such agreements would not be ethical.  Maybe he thinks ethical is transposable with visible.

Several owners of content means multiple people were paid for this “extensive library”. If ABC is claiming that Baez brokered this transaction for all then we have an even bigger problem as he was simultaneously representing the interests of all parties at the time. The agreement that was reached between the parties is critical to understanding the income status of Casey Anthony and her attorneys. Judge Strickland may very well just deny the indigency application and alls well that ends well that these barristers will have to buck up on their own.

That is, until John Morgan gets wind. We will see a copy of the ABC contract in the civil case against Casey Anthony on behalf of Zenaida Gonzalez, fo shcizz.  He danced 2 jigs yesterday. There were witnesses.

Without question, Mr. Baez should be REQUIRED to produce this agreement in response to proof their is no recurring revenue or subsequent earnings to his client based on the structure of the agreement. It is not uncommon for such agreements to include royalty clauses, which would mean that someone is getting paid every time a photo or image from that collection is used. 

ABC newsroom laid off 1/3 of it’s news staff earlier this month. Nice.

Billable Hours

Perhaps the *thud* moment for me yesterday was when Mr. Baez admitted in open court that he does not track his billable hours on this case.

THUD, AGAIN

Apparently, the reaction is sticking with me.

Under the rules of the Florida Bar, there is a very stringent set of requirements when determining reasonable fees for clients.

Short Version:

RULE 4-1.5 FEES AND COSTS FOR LEGAL SERVICES

(b) Factors to Be Considered in Determining Reasonable Fees and Costs.

(1) Factors to be considered as guides in determining a reasonable fee include:

(A) the time and labor required, the novelty, complexity, and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly.

How can you bill someone $90Geeze, and have no idea how you got there, or whether or not such activities are reasonable to the client and or case?

Judge Strickland ruled that by end of business today the defense team needed to provide a full accounting of requested trust account disbursements.

I am thinking they will take the rejection of her indigency status before another trip to the dunk tank, but that’s just me. 

 Can you imagine the car ride home with Cheney Mason?

Role play:

“You effing stupid carpetbagging imp..

Do you even know what the eff IN CAMERA means??

It does not mean that information is sealed forever like the shalac on your hair, you moron..”

AL: Yep, I already told him that. Can I offer you some starbucks?

    Did Morgn dance a jig? If so I missed it, will someone please post a link, I would love to see this. Is he having the trail delayed? What’s going on?
    I keep seeing post about Mr. Morgan dancing a jig but I do not know why. Anyone able to help. Please advise. Thanks for your help.

  2. CC Rider says:

    P.S. Blink I read your blog site daily. Great information and always value your opinion. I don’t always post.

  3. Kleat says:

    Casey did an ABC interview while out on bond??? Why can’t the state subpoena that? Maybe Casey’s on ‘tv’ video under ‘HER’ control (vs as she says PO-lice) will present a more confident, hand-rubbing picture (any tears?) and what she states as fact can be compared to her statements to LE and to the content of the ’50 letters’.

    Could Casey have been planning a book? ;)

  4. Kleat says:

    Am I reading this correctly? Todd Macaluso is currently ‘Active’ status with the California Bar Association and his disciplinary action does not begin until next month?

    http://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/member_detail.aspx?x=133009

    So when Todd Mac made his payment to Casey M. Anthony of $70,000.00, he was/is still ‘Active’.

  5. Kleat says:

    Will ABC pull out the ‘footage’ of Casey’s interview during the trial and during sweeps? Maybe the agreement stipulates that Casey’s interview must come at a critical time for her defense and at the direction of the defense. The agreement will be interesting to read.

  6. diane smith says:

    Were is the money The National Inquirer paid for the picture of Cayleei in the t-shirt that was found with the remains? It will take a lot of investigation into what moneys was paid ou and to who,but I am counting on Blink to do this very thing.

  7. TiaMaria says:

    We need to find a way to have a billboard near the courthouse either at jury selection time or trial time that reads something like “Cheney Mason stated on the record that it will be “FUN” to get Casey Anthony acquitted of the murder of her 2 year old. Still having “FUN” Mr Mason?”. That or drive a mobile billboard a la George around the courthouse area. The jurors that don’t pay attention like we all do need to know to be on the outlook for snake-oil salesmen. I don’t condone jury tampering, but the billboard is simply exercising free speech.

  8. TiaMaria says:

    So Blink, I have to imagine that any Disney employee will be automatically excused from the jury? I cannot imagine the conflict of interest, knowing one’s employer helped fund the baby-killer’s defense? It would be bad enough knowing that I, as a taxpayer, helped to fund the baby-killer’s defense. I would also not want to be involved as a Universal employee (forever tainted in this case). Heck, I’d be embarrassed to be on the jury as an employee of The Sports Authority (another Casey imaginary job).

  9. Mom3.0 says:

    I have been reading everyone’s thoughts and have to say I agree. The hearing only helped the prosecution. Yes, Casey has no money, yes the taxpayers will have to pay for her defense, but this hearing did not help her.

    The public, as Blink has said will be furious. They will remember this mother, who was said to be too distraught by Caylee’s abduction that she could not tell anyone, who was said was too afraid to go home, went shopping, with stolen checks. This young mother, whom we have been told was not thinking clearly, who we’ve been told was in the midst of ugly coping, was so actually totally in control of her faculties that she very smartly worried about the best defense.

    While other young mothers, would have been crying sobbing while looking through photos to share, free of charge with the media, in the hopes of bringing a smiling 2 year old home, Casey instead sneakily went through Caylee’s baby books, her computer, her flash drives, her phone, and took videos,and snap shots from her baby’s short life and sold them to the highest bidder. Let us not forget that included in the photos is THE photo, which shows Caylee wearing the Big Trouble t shirt, let us not forget one of the videos sold to the highest bidder showed Caylee wearing the little stripped shorts.

    Both of these tiny articles of clothing, were the last clothes little Caylee ever wore- not just the clothes she was reported to have been last seen wearing. No not those, but the clothes that now are ripped and torn and decomposed, because they were with a little baby that was thrown away like garbage, hidden in multiple trash bags, put in an old toy ball bag, and thrown away, in a vacant lot, to be torn apart by wild animals.

    No, this hearing did nothing for Casey, but prove to the public she was more than capable of keeping her wits about her. She was more than capable of sorting through pictures, and devising a plan that would accomplish a goal. What was her goal? What was the plan? Was it giving interviews for free, to the media, was it speaking , without codes, to the police, or to her family in the hopes that something she helpfully did would bring her innocent baby daughter home?

    No, her plan, the goal that she set about purposefully reaching was to get herself the best defense money could buy. All funded by images and video of her missing daughter who just happened to be found, months later, dead, murdered, disposed of, in the very same clothes the pictures and videos which she purposefully picked out.

    A picture is worth a thousand words and the story those images tell is one Casey tried so hard to keep from her family, her friends and the prosecution.

    Exactly Mom.3-

    That hearing has strangled the timeline of this defense, imo. If she thought her child was being held captive, as did Cindy and George, why the hell not put their cash up as a reward?

    Our piece on connecting the shirt and the Globe photo, in conjunction with her and her family’s fat payout is huge.

    Isn’t it interesting that ABC would make a deal for so much money for a child that was supposedly ‘kidnapped’ by a nanny that could be found at any moment with an ‘alive’ Caylee? The Anthonys & Baez knew all along that Caylee was dead & they scammed the public. Where did they put their scammed dollars….in their scam foundation? Did the Anthonys and Casey file their ‘winnings’ on their 2008 income tax? Am I reading all this correctly? Help!

    well the angst and confusion we all felt when kc was merrily skipping in and out of JB’s office has an answer. She was a star. She had achieved a goal of fame, no wonder mommy and daddy didn’t ask the hard questions while she was out on bond. They all locked hands and stood on the edge of the cliff together. What was done was done and let’s make this last as long as we can was probably the thought of every day.
    I’ve thought it all along but am sure of it, there’s a book outline somewhere that kc wrote. She’s so tangled up in JB’s web that he most likely has ownership of it with verbal assurances (uh, right) that no matter what she’ll get her cut.
    Most psychopaths have to wait until they’re behind bars for the media to start making them (in)famous but not Orlando’s darling, she was lucky enough to hook up with an atty that wanted to hitch hike along on her star. It’s all becoming a little more clear.

    And side question~ how can Mason defend kc when he has had a client/atty relationship with DC? Wouldn’t he have been told things that would or could impact testimony or case manipulation?

    Ragdoll, are you saying that Cheney took this case for the same reason as Andrea Lyon, as an opportunity for anti-death penalty activism?

    If the death penalty had not been on the table, would all of these attorneys be uninterested?

    I do not believe for a red second they took this case on the philosophical basis of the dp.

    If that were true why not take hundreds of cases previously. No way. This is the one everyone wants their name attached to.

    Honestly, I belive if this case was ever going to plea- he is the best chance for it.

    Jose Baez and Jeff Ashton cannot have a 5 minute conversation without it erupting. I think everyone is running around with their hair on fire because they feel he may win an aquittal and there is a zero percent chance of that, imo.

    I see this as a positive, as I stated in December (thanks Ragdoll and Kleat) I felt he would be coming on board, and I also know that Baez is FOS and there is a bunch of bogus dealings going on, he will have no part of it and will not by shy to depart.

    Now, if it never was going to plea, if I were George and Cindy, I would wipe those snarky looks off my mug and don a helmet. Unequivocally, Mason is going after them. It’s his only shot. It is the only defense in this case, imo.

    Wait till you get a look at the letters, Conway is going to be B U S Y.

    If Todd Mac donated to Casey’s case while active, can it be reviewed by the bar association OR better yet, could he be charged with…..well, I don’t know what the charge would be. My question is, could this affective his bar privileges? If he can’t conintue his practice, can he pursue becoming a paralegal? *SNARKASM!!!*

    It’s a pleasure to meet you friend! Thank you for your kind words. I believe BOC is equal to a community of the faithful. When I read posts that say ‘keep the faith because the higest justice has yet to be served’, I feel my faith has been revigorated. Reminding ourselves that Caylee is never in harm’s away again also brings great comfort. It’s amazing how anger can distort the perception of the truth.

    God bless you! xo

  20. Ragdoll says:

    Regarding Morgan’s jig, there’s a time and place for celebration but not in a court of law. He might as well have ‘river danced’ on Caylee’s grace.

    Inappropriate!!!!!!!

    Ragdoll, those were my words. It was figurative.
    B

  21. Joan (Canada) says:

    When Baez announced in court that Casey had made a deal with ABC, almost immediately after she wrote something on the pad and passed to LKB and then glowered at Lyons. Not a happy camper. I think she might have been a little perturbed that Baez said it was her when ABC is stating that Baez brokered the deal. I really think the honeymoon is over between Casey and Baez and if he’s not careful, I could see her spilling the beans on Mr. Baez.

  22. Kleat says:

    Ragdoll, I wonder if paralegals fall under a lot of the same professional demands as lawyers, maybe in the states that’s different. The Calif. Bar says a lawyer can not accept promises of advertising their firm as payment, look at what Todd did with the Famous Lawyers radio last year, the Casey case was his target to the audience, he was promo’d pretty well on that program, with his ‘new’ criminal defense career on the cusp being part of the discussions.

    I wonder if the Calif Bar allows their lawyers to give money to non-indigent (or later to be claimed indigent) clients in any manipulation of the pen?

  23. Ragdoll says:

    Kleat, since when do lawyers EVER give their clients money…indigent or not? The point making it and winning the case. I’m having a difficult time processing this. It wasn’t out of the goodness of his heart because you have to have one in the first place. His alleged donation can only lead to one purpose, you think??????

    As for paralegals, I couldn’t answer that one but I sure can ask. However, I am in western Canada so the ethics code could be apples and oranges so to speak. And before I get in waaaaay over my head, I have not one ounce of a legal background!!!!!

    Kleat, do you think the Calif bar is noting and waiting for evidence of Mac’s involvement in the case, hence, the active status? If it’s learned he donated to a non-indigent, another nail in the coffin?

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your work!!!!! Every post is a thought provoker. xo

    Blink says no & I respect that wholeheartedly <3. Personally, I don’t see how your name being attached to CMA the child killer would benefit anyone. Not only that, but like Todd Mac and Lyons, secrets end up coming out of the closet. Richard Hornsby could have stepped in but he knew it would have affected his career and not for the better, imo.

    I believe J. Cheney Mason is arrogant and pompous. I believe he believes he can make a HUGE difference. I also believe he does hate the DP and believes he can do what Lyons couldn’t. If it’s true he’s not taking a red cent (IIRC hearing that somewhere), then convictions do aspire his involvement. Also, I do not believe Baez was going to have Casey plea….ever! As I said, he lead her down the garden path, offering empty promises. HENCE….her freakish enthusiasm in court. Cheney Mason, again, IMHO, has stepped in to clean up the mockery Baez has made of this case and to help Casey face what she is TRULY up against. Any defense lawyer would gladly stand in line to take a swing at Baez because he’s made them all look like a joke. Lyons at least had a respectable reputation before this. It’s never going to be the same for her. I also think she crossed boundaries with Baez she never would have crossed before.

    I think Blink and I see eye to eye in some part of JCM’s involvement, but yes, I believe part of his reason is he loathes the DP and knows Casey has been misrepresented (God forbid she appeals and wins because of Baez!!!!!)

    I appreciate so much that you ask for my opinion. I have to admit, I am NOT the expert by any means. I’m here to learn from the best of the best….and gaining some confidence in offering my opinion, which is not scripture. I just try to challenge what’s been put out there. Most of the time, I’m put in my place by the gifted posters who put out much more valuable comments than I can possibly dream.

    Last thought….JCM’s reputation is at stake. Will it be worth it for him?

    How is it you think Hornsby could have stepped in? I was not sure what you meant by that.

    Maybe Macalootsu paid 70k to be part of the team, the thought being that with a glorious revision of history that he could show his skills in the courtroom and salvage his career and then later share in the windfall of publicity or maybe it was a way to launder some cash. He’d give them 70k and then somehow they pay it pack???? I don’t know but whatev, it’s ridiculous for an atty to give money to a client

    My comment was genuine and not plagarized from you. I apologize, again, if that was how it appeared. I admit, I feel misunderstood :(

    Ok, I lied. One more thing, I just read Mom 3.0′s post. BRAVO!

    PLEASE, may the prosecution read your comment!!!!!!

    Your ability to articulate so clearly Casey’s state of mind and her ability to ‘conjure’ a plan is brilliant! Her ‘postured’ state replacing a grieving, hysterical state exposes her cruel intentions. She had a plan. How long was this plan in effect? Before Caylee died? We question whether she was intelligent enough to pull this off or that, but if this is truly how she’s programmed, WOW! I wouldn’t be surprised, had not been incarcerated, if she’d become a serial killer. Diabolical, especially if you get in her way.

  35. Leslee S. says:

    Ragdoll:

    Mom’s post was good. I do happen to believe, though, that it would have been Cindy turning the house upside down for pics & videos of Caylee….can’t really see Casey working up a sweat, trying to earn some money. Casey doesn’t know how to earn it, just steal it. On another note, I thought that ‘ugly coping’ can only be used if there is a ‘death’, not a ‘kidnapping’. To use ‘ugly coping’ would be to admit Casey knew Caylee was dead while she was doing the hump & grind. JMO

    Blink i have a question i read what you posted above about how the bus just might be headed towards hopespring drive..since i don’t follow many cases like this if at all..how is it the blame for everything casey did can be thrown on to george and cindy? I’m not saying that the house she was raised in wasn’t toxic it was..but how do you take all the personal responsibility away from casey by blaming George and Cindy?

  37. Steadychick says:

    Have we ever truly established that it was Casey/Baez who sold the Big Trouble shirt pictures to the Globe? I thought there was still a possibility that it could have been Ricardo who sold this story and pictures.

    The state, when they released the pics in the last round of discovery, has never referenced where the pics came from. My sources tell me they were subpoena’d and you will learn who sold them.

    Keep in mind, those images contain two people. The only person in those pics alive to give their licensing permission of those images is Casey Anthony. UNLESS, a POA was granted in that regard.

    Blink, respectfully, you haven’t wondered if Hornsby was ever tempted to step in? He comes across, to me, as far more competent then Baez. It’s a theory is all. This was a chance for a gaggle of defense to associate their names with the CMA case.

    JMHO.

    I think Mr. Hornsby was never invited; thus his angst against everyone else with a legitimate stake-

    That said, I agree he is more competent than Baez, and frankly he and I tend to agree on the material issues in this case.

    #34 Leslee S

    Again, another great post! I find it soooooo funny that Cindy throw’s around the ugly coping theory like it’s a proven and common stage of grieving. JUNK PSYCHOLOGY…and if I’m not mistaken, Cindy referenced the analysis of the trunk to nothing more than junk science. Double whammy on the ‘ugly coping = death’. Another slip of the tongue for Cindy. Good catch Leslee!

    Cindy is a walking contradiction and you’re right, with this family. omeitimes it’s hard to determine who the ring leader is. I’ve just never witnessed this dynamic within an entire family. There’s so much to be learned from all this but unfortunately at the expense of Caylee’s precious life.

    Leslee, thank you for another curve on the learning highway!

  40. Ragdoll says:

    Thank you Blink. I did wonder, which was my point and failed at miserably, if given the chance, would Hornsby have joined the defense? That’s what I was trying to convey. I used him more as an example for no real specific reason other than he must have considered the damage it could have done to his practice IF IF IF invited. Correct me if I’m wrong. Pure speculation on my part.

    This case is an unsacred ground of temptation. It may or may not bring power and fame but rest assured, you’ve sold your soul to the devil.

    Miss Casey seduces them, they respond and I become nauseaous.

  41. Steadychick says:

    Blink — There is NO WAY Casey would have ever given Ricardo POA to license those photos. So are you saying that, if Ricardo provided the images, the Globe would not have published them without first obtaining Casey’s (or her counsel’s) approval? If so, then Casey was totally in control and knew full well the implications of the clothing Caylee was wearing.

    Whoa……. we know Cindy said she would put a knife through herself if asked to to save her grandchild, so she’ll do the same, figuratively with ‘the bus’. She already played her part well to give a picture of an angry, Grinch of a mother, to give Casey a reason for what happened to Caylee. So has George, tossing lawn chairs, telling Cindy ‘Shut Up’ in Mr. Morgan’s offices, yelling out of control at people, some of whom might have been set there for that purpose, by the defense. The parents must have an idea of their role.

    Could it be that the letters were Casey’s idea to lay some parent ‘trap’, or could a suggestion from the defense, have facilitated this?

  45. Leslee S. says:

    This is probably a dumb question, but is Mr. Mason aware of these scam deals & who all is involved?

    Morgan can expose all of the money trail in the civil suit against Casey by Zaneida Gonzales. Civil cases are awsome as NO ONE is SAFE… HAHAHAHA…. just sayin… sorry B

    please forgive me if florida law differs than California but usually whomever takes a photo is the rightful owner and whomever is being photographed is giving consent by posing for said photo?
    It is the reason why papparazzi take photos of stars and get GOOD MONEY for them.

    If you would notice on your facebook account that when you post a photo they make you click the photo section that you are the owner of the photo taken so they don’t get in trouble for you posting photos on there.

    I’ve been thinking back to the initial jail house interviews with Casey and her parents. I seem to remember one where they are discussing the $500,000 bond and Casey makes a snippy comment, something to the effect of “well you have almost that much” and “you could get me out”. That’s not an exact quote, maybe someone remembers which video this would be in. Looking back now, with the knowledge Blink has given us with this newest article, I believe it’s highly suspect that the ABC deal had already come to fruition and Casey knew George and Cindy could “bond her out” with that money. And they sure weren’t going to do it. Nor were they going to offer it up for a reward. Nor were they funding searches for missing Caylee. Nope, they were too busy coordinating mattresses for all the incoming GEEZ

    Oh, I am so embarrassed! Blink and y’all must think I’m hopeless and so left of centre. I finally get what you meant by the jig. He didn’t actually jig in court! OMGOSH!!!!! What a mo ron I am. I sometimes feel like Mrs. Hiviggins from the Carol Burnette show (isn’t that how Tim Conway’s character pronounced her name with that accent?. CLUELESS!

    My husband had to explain it to me, figuratively of course. Humility is such an itchbay.

    I cannot answer your question friend but I want to assure you….there is no such thing as a dumb question, especially here.

    If you don’t get a response, it’s probably because there’s no real answer with certainty. xo
