Casey Anthony headlines again
Casey Anthony in the courtroom beside her attorney, Jose Baez
Welcome back to the front page, Miss Anthony. This go around, the prosecution had accused her attorney – Jose Baez - of a potential conflict of interest, being in a position of reaping monetary gain from selling Casey’s and Caylee’s “story.” It was the only way that the prosecution could figure out how she has managed to bankroll her defense.
How is she doing it? We will probably never know. The judge allowed them to discuss the matter in private, and after returning the prosecutor (Ashton) dropped their speculation, agreeing to respect her rights to privacy. Tensions were still flaring in court, however, and I’m afraid this entire trial is going to go to shit. We don’t need a prosecutor who begins to break down in the middle of court….
“We don’t need to be reminded of our ethical obligations,” Ashton retorted. “That’s pretty … I’m sorry. Yes, we understand.”
He sat back down, and Baez asked him if he was all right. “No, I’m not,” Ashton snapped.
“You know what, this is getting old,” Strickland told the attorneys. “I’m getting tired of this.”
I know this is a very emotionally exhaustive trial, but he really needs to get himself together.
What is my thought as to how she is paying, and why it is doing a number of Ashton? Either an insurance policy on Caylee, or somehow she managed to get funds from her death. Am I sure about this? No. But it was screw with me too if I were Ashton.
I guess the only thing that got me was what was written on the sworn affidavit Anthony gave regarding her attorny’s retainer (which does not allow him to sell the story)
“I believe that Mr. Ashton is angry because I have refused to take a plea agreement for a crime that I did not commit,” she wrote.
We’ll see about that.
