Jose Baez book

Do you? I don't. I see it as part of the same dysfunction that produced someone like Casey Anthony in the first place. Never any real consequences for her actions. Never any accountability. You kill our granddaughter, you accuse one of us of raping you, and we'll still treat you like you're gold.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, maybe I wouldn't be able to stay away from my
daughter, but I hope I could. At least until I hear genuine remorse, and lots of it, and see a major life and attitude change. Like stop whining through your lawyers about not being "free" to go out and party, and realize you're much freer than you deserve to be. And start making some amends to the world.

You always love your children no matter what. That aside I read Baez's book. It was a very good book. Baez is a very smart lawyer. I believe Casey is Innocent and it was a tragic accident and the media made her look guilty.

I don't buy his explanation. Why would he have his client sit in jail for 3 years, possibly facing the death penalty, if Caylee had drowned in the pool? The coroner testified that people don't wrap their children in duct tape and plastic bags and throw them away in the woods a quarter of a mile away from their house when they accidentally drown. The coroner said that the instinct is to try to save your child even if you know there is no chance for them to be revived. Casey had adequate time to say it was a drowning. Even when the police were first interrogating her, they gave her an out to say it was an accident. If George threw Caylee in the woods, why was he so desperately trying to find Casey during those 30 days Caylee was missing? Why did he try to set up an appointment for Casey to speak with the Sheriff's office in her first days in jail in hopes of finding out what happened to Caylee? If he was involved in Casey's crime, he would NOT want her to talk to the police because then she could possibly implicate him. In the jail house tapes, Casey's parents also asked Casey if Caylee could have drowned in the pool, and she said no.

I think the defense team was disgusting by trying to paint George as the perpetrator of Caylee's murder. He was not a perfect man (and, yes, the family was highly dysfunctional), but he was a former police officer and he deeply loved Caylee. I don't believe for one moment that he molested Casey. That was something that she made up. Years before the crime, Casey had told one of her friends that she thought maybe Lee (her brother) tried to sneak into her room a few times, but never said anything about her father. Casey's defense team tried to get statements that Casey had made to a psychiatrist into the trial about her possibly being sexually abused, but the psychiatrist wanted no part of it. Firstly, upon his first examination of her, she point blank told him that she had never been abused. Later she tried to create a story about it, but he didn't believe her and did not want to be used at trial to get a false story out there. I truly think that Casey was most of the dysfunction in that family. She lied for years about having a job and would steal money left and right from anyone she came into contact with. She bamboozled anyone and everyone into watching Caylee for her because she said she had a job when she did not. When they found out that she didn't have a job, they stopped watching Caylee for her.

Also, Casey has NOT reconciled with her family. According to one of her attorneys (Cheney Mason), she does not talk to her brother or her parents, and she lives with Pat McKenna who was one of the PI's on her case. Incidentally, he was also the PI for the OJ case who found the Mark Furhman tapes.

I love this book! It's my favorite book! Jose Baez is a Hero of mine!
