Casey Anthony Defense Wants State to Pay Legal Fees

Sunday, March 07, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. —  Lawyers for an Orlando woman accused in her young daughter's death says the state should pay the cost of defending her.

The team representing 23-year-old Casey Anthony says the financial assistance is the only way to ensure they'll have the resources to fight a conviction and possible death sentence in the first-degree murder case.

The defense wants the state to pay the cost of travel, serving supoenas, hiring experts, deposing witnesses and investigating the case.

Anthony has pleaded not guilty and says a baby sitter kidnapped her daughter Caylee. The toddler's remains were found in December 2008, months after she was reported missing.

Motion: State Should Pay For Anthony's Defense
Casey Anthony Charged With Murder In Daughter Caylee's Death

POSTED: Sunday, March 7, 2010
UPDATED: 11:03 am EST March 7, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Defense attorneys for Casey Anthony have filed a motion requesting that the court declare her indigent and have the taxpayers shoulder some of the cost of her defense in the first-degree murder trial in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

The team representing 23-year-old said the financial assistance is the only way to ensure they'll have the resources to fight a conviction and possible death sentence in the case.

Jose Baez filed the paperwork at 5 p.m. Friday. He is asking Judge Stan Strickland to declare Anthony indigent for costs, meaning she does not have the money to fund her defense.

Anthony has already paid Baez and death penalty expert Andrea Lyon $111,954, but Baez said that is not enough to give Anthony the defense she needs, and taxpayers should make up the difference. Nearly $90,000 of the amount was used for Baez's fees, the remainder covered Lyon's costs. She is working on the case for free.
Baez said Anthony was willing to pay for her defense until the state put the death penalty back on the table, making her unable to cover the expense.

The motion asks the state to cover the cost of depositions, transcripts, investigators, legal research, expert witness fees, medical or mental examinations, travel expenses and other costs the defense has or will incur.
Legal experts said defending a complex death penalty murder case like Anthony's can easily run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, especially when potential witnesses and experts are dispersed around the country.

Baez estimated the total cost of defending Anthony will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If Strickland signs the order, Florida taxpayers will pick up the bill for the defense costs, but not the defense fees.

The state has more than $14 million set aside this year to pay for indigent criminal defense.

The question of how Anthony will be able to pay for her defense has prompted a great deal of speculation about possible movie deals and book rights. It is not known how she paid the more than $100,000 that has already been paid to the defense.

Anthony is being held at the Orange County Jail on no bond.

Caylee was 2-years-old when she was reported missing in July 2008. Her remains were discovered in a wooded area off Suburban Drive, near Anthony's parent's east Orange County home, in December 2008.

Orange County could pay some of Casey Anthony's trial costs
March 6, 7:02 PMOrlando Headlines ExaminerDavid Steiner
The cost of maintaining Casey Anthony’s defense against the death penalty if convicted of killing her daughter Caylee has become too much for her to handle. According to a recent release, Miss Anthony’s defense team is seeking help in covering their operating expenses. This may fall on Orange County tax payers.

While Miss Anthony’s actual attorney fees would not be paid for with tax dollars, if approved, such costs as witness travel expenses, processing subpoenas, and hiring experts to examine transcripts would be covered.

Under such circumstances, however, any profits made by Casey Anthony through book or movie deals related to her case could be garnished to ensure the replacement of the taxpayers’ money.

It has been estimated that the case could cost the county in excess of $100,000.

Casey’s New Year’s (2008) Resolution

Good afternoon, Monkeys on this glorious afternoon in TN. 

I wonder if Baez charges Casey his normal hourly rate for his appearances on TV in her behalf.  Not that he helps her case. IMO he harms her chances every time he opens his mouth.  I hope he has to account for every minute he has charged to justify the $90,000.  Casey would have been better off with a public defender who has had some extensive experience with criminal cases.  A public defender would have convinced Casey to plead guilty to manslaughter long ago, before the body was found, and she would have been out in a few years.  As it is, Baez seems to not have a clue how to conduct her defense and is running around in what appears to be endless circles, not accomplishing anything. Andrea Lyons makes such a poor personal  appearance to us, and we are probably representative of the general public in this regard, that she would turn a jury off. Every one is judged to some degree on their personal appearance.

They are going to mess around and get this girl killed.  JMO of course.

Too bad if she does get killed. I would call that tit for tat……When Caylee’s remains were found; the duct tape showed cold, calculated murder. If she had pled out before the body was discovered and had to show LE the body, how would she explain the duct tape and any other evidence that may have been evident before decomposition. IMO, KC made up a story to allow the evidence of the murder to rot away. Well, that didn’t work and now she can suffer the consequences….no manslaughter here, just homicide.

HI loca---I'd say most of it went into his pocket.  Court costs couldn't possibly be anywhere near $90,000. 

If they mess around and Casey is killed, that's fine with me.  But it's his responsibility to give her the best defense possible and IMO he hasn't done that.  Not that I care.  In fact it's a good thing.  Maybe that's why that at every step the judge has specifically made sure that Casey is satisfied with Baez's representation.  Maybe  he agrees that Baez is not doing a good job.  But I think Baez took an oath to represent his clients to the best of his ability.  Wait a minute------maybe this is the best of his ability.  Yeah.

dumb question here?
Do you think that baez has gotten wind of people saying he is incompetent. This man hasnt been practicing law for very long evidenced by his fumbles and flukes. I   think that the money didnt go all to her defense. I kinda think maybe he treated himself to some luxuries. Amongst those expenses were possibly all those trips to new york to be on heraldo(intentionaly misspelled)  and all those trips he made to other tv stations. He was  for a while there popping up everywhere. I think he is an ewgo maniac with no results just hot air what do ya think? about my dumb question too????
