thanks trim....I think Mr.  Fitzgerald is the same person Mason tossed $12 on the table to cover his time....

http://sprocket-trials.blogspot.com/2010/07/casey-anthony-vs-tes-mark-nejame.html

On April 23, 2010, Attorneys Cheney Mason and Jose Baez came to the undersigned counsel's office to review the files containing the searches of the approximately 4,000 searchers.... When they arrived Mr. Mason was arrogant, rude and disrespectful to the staff of undersigned and to the monitor. Mr. Mason threw $12 cash on the table at the monitor saying that this would be enough to cover the one hour they were going to be there.

Slave wages?

Insanity defense rarely used and rarely successful

 ::snipping2::

"If there is any inkling of a mental problem, a defense attorney is obligated to explore the issue and seek neurological and psychological exams," Mason said. "Anything that could affect her judgment."

Mason said jurors usually don't accept insanity as a legal excuse.

"It is the bottom of the barrel as far as defenses are concerned," Mason said. "But sometimes, that is all there is."

NorthernRose, I wonder if these words will come back to bite him in the arse like the television interview he did before he took the case (sorry no link).  I've wonder if they would eventually go for the mental defect angle, well momster has it, but she does know the difference between right and wrong (I suppose).

hi nut!!!  Whew I am sure glad someone was able to answer Zoo's question about the flip flop thingie!!   

Phew is right, LOL.   

[ZooMomology]

I am sure this article is not new and that it has been posted here probably, but I just read it. 

http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2011-02-02/news/os-jose-baez-bar-complaint-20110202_1_dominic-casey-new-complaint-bar-complaints

It says, in part. 
Back in March 2009, Circuit Judge Stan Strickland, who was then presiding over the case, wrote a letter to The Florida Bar about ethical concerns he had about Baez.

That issue involved allegations that Baez directed investigator Dominic Casey to "walk away" if he found Caylee's lifeless body during a 2008 search — and then contact Baez rather than law enforcement.

Citing sworn statements by Dominic Casey, Strickland wrote, "If truthful, they are extremely troubling. While it is certainly possible that Mr. Baez may have intended to call law enforcement himself, there would be absolutely no reason, legal, practical, or otherwise to call anybody but law enforcement."

The Strickland letter and the Dominic Casey issue were investigated by a Florida Bar grievance committee, resulting in a finding of no probable cause against Baez, a Bar spokeswoman said.

Then it said,
That is true. In 2009, the Bar cleared him of another complaint that he may have entered into an agreement to gain financially for representing Casey Anthony by publicizing her story. A Bar grievance committee "determined that there is insufficient evidence to establish that Mr. Baez violated" Florida Bar rules stemming from that complaint.

So, this will be the 3rd complaint (the new one filed that nobody is sure what it is for yet) filed in what 3 years for 1 lawyer?  At what point do they stop saying there is insufficient probable cause.  Do other lawhers have 3 complaints in as many years and still continue to be lawyers?  You have no idea how much this pisses me off.  Is Bozo paying somebody on the Florida Bar off?  He has no money, but maybe other things like bikinis ?  How does the bar investigate claims.  I think they hold the file on their desks and after a good amount of time, to make it look like they did something, they just file it and find no probabl cause.

Zoo, I do remember some discussion on this....IIRC, JS was compelled to write a letter regarding Dominic's allegations. Again, I am reaching in the far depths of my memory, so I hope I am remembering this correctly. Dominic had no paper work to back up his claim so it was a he said, she said situation.....I also think Blink filed with the Bar about false representations on his website.....and as a result of those charges his website as redone....so IF I am correct on this...this is the 4th charge in 3 years. I am fairly sure I have all this correct...if not, I am sure someone will respectfully disagree

So, don't they like keep a file on each lawyer and when a new complaint comes in, they would see wow we have had 3 other complaints in 3 years, maybe there is some truth to the complaints?  This makes me so mad.  It seems a lawyer is beyond THE LAW.

Judge Belvin Perry says budget will have 'devastating effect' on judicial branch

ORLANDO --

Chief Judge Belvin Perry oversees the courthouses in Orange and Osceola counties. He calls the judicial system of Florida "lean and mean."

It's a proud statement. But when you talk about Gov. Rick Scott's proposed budget that calls for more than $30 million in cuts, Perry isn't so proud.

"Maybe we need to do a better job of educating the governor of the importance of a fully funded judicial branch," Perry said.

He then grabbed a pad of paper and starts doing some math.

Perry outlined what 500 jobs lost will mean for the ninth circuit. He said it will be substantial.

Scott is proposing one judicial assistant to two judges. Right now, all 65 judges in the circuit have one judicial assistant. Perry quickly asked if senators or representatives share assistants.

He talks about the small things that will have a great impact on day-to-day operations.

This man right here ^ is above AWESOME.   He tells it like it is, makes perfect sense & I could not agree with him more.   PS I have to say I love, love, loved how he put it to the politicians to compare it to what they have the luxury of at taxpayers expense...we dont see that getting cut.

CJBP, with all due respect deserved

That little mustache is hysterical to me, I don't know why, maybe I am tired, but it reminds me of women who pluck their eyebrows and then pencil them back in.   

But, he does say what he means and means what he says, and there is no other way to be, and I love it.

snipped from the above article and link:

During the deposition, Anthony defense attorney Jose Baez repeatedly asked Fitzgerald who had access to the documents and who participated in coming up with a list of volunteers who helped search the Suburban Drive area, where Caylee's remains were later found.

Baez is going to make a big stink out of this. Will Baez accuse someone of tampering with forms since he has been caught, so to speak, with LB's "doctored" form?  I do believe Mark NeJame made a huge mistake by allowing BC to look through those documents. I still can't figure out why he has sympathy for the Anthonys.  They, the Ants, don't deserve any special treatment, imo, just wish everyone else would see it my way. 

Hi Tupelo--I agree that it was a huge mistake for NeJame to allow BC to see the files.  The Anthonys have no legal standing in this case since Casey is not a minor.  IMO this is going to cause big trouble, especially since Baez claimed that BC had evidence which BC claims is a lie.  How can he prove that he didn't see evidence while he was perusing those files?  It was a major mistake for NeJame and I can't imagine how a seasoned attorney would have allowed an absolute outsider, which legally BC was, to see evidence denied to the defense.

I agree, but why did BC go see them?  He had to know that was like not the right thing to do.

Good Morning Monks--Cold again in TN. But Al Gore said it was cold because it was warm.  I'm sure he knows.  After all, why is he called the Goracle?
I know that's off topic, but I just gratuitously threw that in.  What I really meant to say is that from what I know of the Hispanic culture they are very family oriented.  They would not look kindly on a white girl who killed her baby.  They are very religious people too, and murder is one of the ten biggies.

Al Gore said it was cold because it was warm?  Any wonder why he did not become president?

I think the man has lost his mind. I have known Gore for many years and he has always been an egotistical jerk, but you have to give him credit he has made billions of dollars off of the government and stupid people. I remember him from Vanderbilt when he flunked out of school. There is a lot about him that the media never let slip out.

Wow, you know Al Gore??????  Like in comes over for dinner know Al Gore? 

I lead such a boring life.  I know NOBODY.  I cannot even come close to knowing somebody famous.  The closest I come to knowing somebody is knowing somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody, and that is a stretch.  LOL. 

No, not like "comes over to dinner" Gore. LOL  My family was very politically connected "back in the day" - My mother was an astute business person and also the local chairman of the Democrat Party. We attended a lot of Demo functions for his father and others at the time. I met Al, Jr many times and thought he was a real dork. He was dumber than a rock to talk to back then.  I could not stand him.  My older brother went to school with him at Vanderbilt and said he was a real dumb azz in school. He flunked more classes than he passed and eventually dropped out of law school there.

My brother never liked him because of the way his father got him out of serving in the military after his father lost the election. Everyone knew he just went into the military (with his body guards) so his father would look good, but he lost the election anyway and all of a sudden Al, Jr wanted to pursue a "spiritual path" at Vanderbilt Divinity School so daddy got him out.

Fortunately my mother "saw the light" and changed to the GOP in the early 70s because of the way she felt the Demo party had lost its morals. LOL

(sorry about the OT)

That is so kewl.  I must admit I know really nothing about Al Gore or any of the political figures, and politics are so not my thing and bore me to tears, so I have no idea about his father, his not going into the military, etc. 

But, who gets body guards in the military?  I know that what's his name was in the military, the POW guy, did he have body guards?  I know bush was in the military.  There were many political figures in the military who did not have body guards.  How did Al Gore's father get body guards? 

Sorry again for the OT.

    * February 10th, 2011 1:43 am ET
On Wednesday it was reported that a new deposition in the Casey Anthony case was released, in which a Texas EquuSearch volunteer is interviewed by defense attorneys.

Casey is the Florida mother accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony, in the summer of 2008. The little girl’s remains were found in a wooded location near the Anthony family Orlando area home in December of that year.

WESH reports that the new transcript is of a Feb. 2 deposition taken from William Fitzgerald, who began assisting EquuSearch in its effort to find Caylee in August 2008, prior to her body being discovered

I agree, but why did BC go see them?  He had to know that was like not the right thing to do. 

Hi Zoomomology--Good morning Monks--I'm sure BC knew it wasn't the right thing to do but at the time he was working for the Anthonys and for some reason, fright, prospect of payment when the book is written or the movie made, I don't know, There have been weveral examples of men doing  what Cindy wants and she wanted BC to look at the files. I do not find her in the least attractive, but then I'm a woman--maybe she's appealing to the opposite sex, strange as it may seem.  It appeared that she had BC eating out of her hand and she treated him like dirt--leaving him to fend for himself after the Gonzelez depos, etc.  But whatever the reason, I believe BC looked at those files, although he must have known he shouldn't be doing it, on  Cindy's orders. I have no theory why NeJame allowed him to look at the files.  Surely it wasn't stipidity--maybe it was friendship.  I also question NeJame taking on Equusearch as a client after having represented the Anthonys, but apparently it wasn't a conflict.
