During a hearing on March 3, 2011, defense attorney Jose Baez called to the stand an attorney who had worked at his firm and had interaction with Casey Anthony which is protected by the attorney-client privilege. The questions of Mr. Baez for his employee can be heard at the following link.
http://www.youtube.com/user/S0meRand0mName#p/c/F7E3498AE219FD95/16/wKx-OT6XY0Q
Jose Baez: “Do you know if it revolved around a meeting with George Anthony and Casey Anthony?”
Gabriel Adam: “That sounds familiar.”
This is not an affirmative answer. “That” distances Mr. Adam from his statement. The word “familiar” is not an affirmation Mr. Baez’s question reflects reality. Mr. Adam did not answer the question.
Jose Baez: “OK. And on August 14, 2008, did Casey Anthony have a visit with George and Cindy Anthony?”
Gabriel Adam: “I believe there was one scheduled. I… I cannot remember if it actually happened.”
Another song and dance resulting in a non-answer. The word “believe” indicates this may or may not be true and is still open to question. The word “actually” demonstrates a sensitivity to “happened”. Mr. Adam does not want to state if the “visit” occured or not.
Jose Baez: “Do you recall if prior to that date that… we… that uhhh… that we had instructed Ms. Anthony to stop recieving visits from her family?”
Mr. Baez asks a question violating the attorney-client privilege of both his employee and Casey Anthony. Mr. Baez is almost unable to verbalize this question. The excessive use of the word “that” indicates a distancing from the instruction to Ms. Anthony to “stop receiving visits”. A careful listener must ask if such an instruction had been given “prior to that date”, a “date” which is Mr. Baez again distances himself from with “that”, a sensitive “date”.
We have often seen Mr. Baez stutter and stammer on national television and in local news interviews. It is understandable in a setting in which Mr. Baez is being asked questions for which he may not have been prepared for him to stumble and rephrase answers on the fly. However, this is a court hearing. Mr. Baez called this witness. Mr. Baez had opportunity to plan his line of questioning in advance. Mr. Baez could have written his question in the best possible format prior to entering the courtroom. In other words, Mr. Baez could have adequately prepared for this hearing, but from the verbalization of this question, it is clear he did not. Mr. Baez’s client and all defendants in the United States deserve an attorney who prepares their cases, strategies, and questioning in advance of the moment of truth. Mr. Baez’s client does not have such an attorney.
Gabriel Adam: “I’m not really…”
Jose Baez: “If you recall.”
Gabriel Adam: “This is a tricky situation because I’m not really comfortable with answering questions that I… of things that I said to my client at the time.”
Mr. Adam demonstrates through his answer he is a superior attorney to Mr. Baez as Mr. Adam immediately recognizes the danger inherent for the client in this line of questioning.
Judge Perry: “Mr. Baez.”
Jose Baez: “We’re talking specifically about that.”
Mr. Baez verifies he also recognizes the danger to his client from his question and attempts to assure the court he knows what he is doing, even though he planned poorly for this moment.
Judge Perry: “You represented to the court that you were talking about a visit him being there with law enforcement and that’s where you were going.”
Jose Baez: “I am going there.”
Judge Perry: “Now what you are about to do and you need to think about it is you are asking questions about conversation between attorney client. Remember the following. You cannot use the attorney client privilege as a shield then turn around and open it up and use it as a sword. Once you open it, it’s open. So, you need to think long and hard about the questions you’re asking.”
Judge Perry is also concerned for the best interest of the defendant, going so far as to offer advice to Mr. Baez.
We have learned not only does Mr. Baez not think before he speaks, he does not prepare for court even when his desired line of questioning will open his client’s attorneys to questioning by the state about confidential defense matters.
We have learned Mr. Baez is not qualified to handle a defense of this magnitude, especially with the life of his client hanging in the balance.
Thank you Bull for keeping this FOOL in the spotlight. That picture above is horrible. I can’t believe Casey put her life in that shiester’s hands. He looks like he’s trying to figure out what flavor of ice cream to order.
LOL! I bet his favorite flavor is Chubby Hubby (or is it Chunky Monkey?). Love how Michelle Medina is flipping Casey the bird……… 😉
LOL! Hmmmm, sprinkles or not???
He is inept and it is concerning to me. It should also concern Casey since it is her butt in the sling
Thank you for posting this! I’d missed the exchange between Attorney Adam and Baez, though I’d heard and read about it. I am flabbergasted anew having seen and heard the questions that Baez posed. He is very fortunate that Judge Perry was on his toes and stopped the line of questioning for the sake of the defendant. Unbelievable! We see time and time again how Mr. Baez does not even come close to providing an adequate defense, and that is what infuriates me! If the situation regarding the representation by this defense team were fiction, no one would believe it. But, this is our system, like it or not, it’s being played, and the song sure ain’t music to my ears!
Do you think the Florida Bar will finally take action??
Good lord, I hope so!
LOL Bull, 🙂
Thank you for spotlighting one of my all-time favorite Jose Baez “moments of DUH”. Imagine…his Tier 4 law school must be sooo proud of their bestest gradyouate.
Zoe- …”moments of DUH..” Love this!
I think the look on his face is one of – ‘OMG – WHAT did I get myself into?!’
I think, he looks likes he’s ogling Casey .. *puke*
My thoughts exactly.
Bull — I’m not convinced Baez could prepare for court, even if he possessed the work ethic required to do actual WORK. It’s turning out he’s every inch the dim bulb so many of us suspected he was. His questioning of every witness, not just Gabriel Adam, has been just ungodly tedious and pointless. There’s no way to tell where he’s going with his line of questioning, and wherever it is, he never gets there. Mason makes marginally more sense once you pick through all the mumbled good-ole-boy crap he wraps each point in, but he is neither well-read on this case, nor in tune with how his client is/will be perceived. To try to frame up the lying, smut-mouthed, narcissistic felon as a little slip of a baby girl all skeered and clammy in the presence of the big bad detectives shows just how tone deaf he is (in addition to being hard of hearing).
My thought, when I heard him refer to her that way was – has he even met Casey Anthony?
I think Mason may be very persuasive to the jury during the trial. It is easy for us to see behind the facade, but we have to remember the jury will be coming with virtually no prior knowledge of this case. They will see a slip of a girl being harassed by the state until they begin to see the evidence presented by the prosecution.
But Baez will look like the idiot he is no matter how little knowledge they have about the case.
The jury will also have a bird’s eye of her for 2+ months. All the preening, the come hither looks to Baez, the stifled giggles, the inability to keep her hands off herself, the maniacal behavior with the pen and legal pad, the haughtiness, the defiance, the cold stare and the shark eyes. I say LOL to Mason (that’s Lots of Luck, of course) trying to convince a jury the female sitting before them — the one with the dead toddler — was a defenseless lil girl targeted by LE and the state. I predict Casey just being Casey in that courtroom will do enormous damage to her case. (Which, imo, is the way it should be.)
That was very nice of you conserning mason but as sombody who never heard of him and than watching his demenor as he speaks to the court I find my self becomming adgatated over his mumbling and “good ole boy” speech. He is hard to follow and speaks way to fast I hope the jury find this about him also! Great Artical!
Her reactions to testimonies will be interesting as well
I just read the most amusing conspiracy theory regarding Casey Anthony ever!
Sorry – got called away
seems former Governor of Fl is pulling strings here (forgive the giggling)
64 Depos released… bet Jose will be complaining about this… “but Judge, the state keeps releasing stuff, waaaahhhh”, even though they are defense depos…

Is delaying the trial a strategy which will benefit the defense?
Yes, it is.
http://www.wftv.com/video/27222136/index.html
Why does anyone believe Cheney when he says he is retiring?
http://www.wftv.com/news/27205354/detail.html
“The documents also show when he asked Casey what she couldn’t tell him over the phone, she said her brother Lee knew most of the story about what had happened to Caylee and she would tell him all about it “some day.””
http://www.wftv.com/news/27162542/detail.html
We know Cindy Anthony was actively trying to frame multiple people outside the family for Caylee’s murder.
But when you take KC’s statement to her friend, add it to a Lee asking questions on jail video demonstrating he had some knowledge nobody else did, take into account his personal investigation based on information KC was giving him, then add in Dominic Casey attempting to plant evidence on a body someone told him was in the woods, then think about the nasty reaction KC had in court recently to Lee saying he would have lied to her to find Caylee and her refusal to look at him as he left the courtroom even as he tried to say goodbye to her, it makes me wonder if KC was trying to frame Lee?
Why tell a man involved in the NCIS your brother knows all about the disappearance of your child?
“Casey is one good looking woman. I don’t know anyone that could look that good with so little to work with. To be in a cage for years and to pop out with limited clothes and make up and look like that, must drive other women nuts. I know it drives the guys nuts. At least that is what I hear at the gym.”

Anyone else going to the same gym this guy does???
Hahahahahahahahahha
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
“I just hope she will except the offer from Playboy to do a photo shoot, because trust me, that is coming.”
http://americaspeaksink.com/2011/03/casey-anthonys-defense-team-thunders/
Same author as the last link. Man, this guy gets me rolling on the floor laughing with his crap.
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
I thought he had faded away
guess not
Playboy better have one hell of an airbrush if they plan on taking any shots from the back. Lordy.
*puke*
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Hef is old, but he isn’t stupid.
I read that site, plus the Missionaries for laughs .. 😀
Myra,
Zuben just won’t go down peacefully. Put that cold coffee down Zuben and get some fresh air!
We should introduce C Rich to the missionaries
I’m sure they’ve already met ..
Baez NEEDS to read this site before he ever sets foot in a courtroom again ..
Bravo Bull, you are spot on again, as usual ..
Bull said:
“Hef is old, but he isn’t stupid.”
myra manes says:
“He isn’t blind either!” 😀
LMFAO
Darn it Bull- you posted that link to Americaspeaks and I stupidly went there, and now I need a shower to get the stink offa me.
😆 😆 😆
I didn’t want to be the only one!
Seriously, there is one guy there who writes intelligently about the case, but he is in poor company on that site.
*BLINK BLINK*
Don’t you ever send me over to that place again.
WHAT AN IDIOT! My jaw hit the floor. PAINFUL!!!!

Who exactly is Jose defending with the state’s money? KC or himself?
Just when you think the case can’t get any stranger, this from the above link:
“There was a video on YouTube of attorney Todd Macaluso, a former member of Anthony’s defense team, running naked at the beach, while holding hands with a man who was also naked.”
“Baez then asked that they go off the record. “I’m trying to get this picture out of my head,” he said.”
😆 😆 😆
So, accepting $70 grand in misappropriated funds from the man is hunky dory with ol’ Jose, but not hot monkey love in the surf and the sand with another man. Yep, for Jose it’s all about morals… 😆
he just use to hot monkey love in an office with a 22 year old female.
While Michelle Medina held the fort down. Literally.
😆
Oh, god, I hope there was no monkey involved…
Pass the brain bleach, please
GREAAAAAAAAAAAT!!! They still make that stuff.
Pass it over here too!
It sounds painful 😉
But if it works Venice we can put up with a bit of pain. After all this entire case is painful.
I just can’t live with the visuals I have been subjected to. First Casey in Playboy them Todd naked on a beach!
Ha, all you have is a visual. I actually seen the video of the NAKEDNESS. Sad it’s been removed. But then again. It wasn’t anything special.
Concerning Casey. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
😯
yep. not qualified. dumbo. IT’S good for the real victim: CAYLEE…THE INNOCENT CHILD.
I remember seeing that video some time ago. I ma confused as to the purpose of it but really not interested enough, in any way, to dig any deeper into it
I can picture Todd frollicking joyfully with his life partner. Now….Casey in Playboy??? NO! More like LowRider Magazine.
We have a mantra we recite at Websleuths everytime new discovery is released:
“Oh Lord, please forgive me for what I am about to read”. 🙂

Latest news from the mission:
*Kronk is stll the bad guy (yeah…riiiiight)
*The remains site was totally staged (BS)
*The conspiracy against Casey involves powerful government and political bad guys (lololol)
* “We will prevail!”. (whatever, just take your meds, OK?)
FYI—Someone in LE who I completely trust has told me that without a doubt JoseBgood is actively behind the mission site. I am NOT surprised at all. The man has to vent his ego somewhere and after all…he does had four loyal devotees! Isn’t one of them Wanda Wery from the fake OIA sighting? I think some of Andrea Lyon’s lackies might be involved as well. The verbage just sounds very “Lyon-like”.
Just some ponderings.
Shall we post guesses on what month/year Baez gets eventually disbarred? Word has it there is A LOT more we (the public) don’t know about yet!
LOL!!! Last I read, they were all bragging about how Ms. JB took down Bullstopper in his own house. His house is made of brick. You can’t destroy the undestructable!
Amen soul Sister!!
You notice none of them come here to say anything where I can reply to them.
The door is still open. I haven’t banned anyone. All comments related to this case are posted for all to read.
I am always ready to listen with an open mind to anyone’s views and reactions to this case. But I am going to bring it all back to the evidence.
I wonder where Anonymous and Katprint are??
fyi – it was on the news that peta reported that no monkeys were harmed during the hot monkey sex.
😆
that would not surprise me at all if baez was behind the mission site. Notice there’s been not new posts from that site since these rulings were made, LMAO
Hi grownyoungmom,
I don’t know how you take all the insults there. You are a stronger woman than I.
Oh, and please jose, cindy, someone buy Casey a bra to hold up those sagging things!! Seriously she’s only 25 and they look like that? gag me to think of seeing her without clothes!
grownyoungmom – Pass the Brain Bleach please!
Bozo got one thing right: “I’m trying to get this picture out of my head,” he said.” That’s what I go through every time she attends a hearing…double that for seeing Cindy at the hearings, & quadruple that for having to listen to Cindy’s voice whether on the stand or in the media. ((blech))
