Has Jose been receiving payment in kind from Casey all along?
Prosecutors Ask For Hearing On How Baez Is Getting Paid
March 9, 2009
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Prosecutors asked for a special court hearing Monday afternoon, to find out how Casey Anthony’s defense team was getting paid.
The state is worried that Casey’s lawyer Jose Baez could make decisions in the case based on a book or movie deal instead of her best interests. Prosecutors believe the move could be grounds for appeal if Casey is convicted.
Many have been asking how Casey is paying for all of her attorneys and experts.. And even if there is a hearing on this issue, it might be behind closed doors. So even if prosecutors and the judge find out, the public may not.
Home videos of Caylee Anthony fetched almost $200,000 for the young mother last summer. Based partly on that argument, prosecutors want the judge to find out what kinds of financial agreements are behind the hiring of nationally known defense experts like New York attorney Linda Kenney Baden and Connecticut pathologist Henry Lee.
In a motion filed this afternoon, prosecutors said eight different lawyers and numerous experts have been hired by Casey Anthony and that logical conclusions must be drawn.
For example, Casey did not go from pauper to princess before her arrest. She’s in no position to be managing her only assets, photos and videos of Caylee, so her defense attorney Jose Baez must be doing it.

Jose Baez speeding ticket paid, now to court for the foreclosure, & other cases
Remember on 17 February 2011, Baez did his normal speeding ticket! Looks like Baez ran into some money, plead GUILTY and paid the fine of $27.00! The court cost was $91.35 and a service charge of $12.65, for a total of $131.00! He paid his ticket on 2 March 2011, guess he was worried there would be a suspended license in the near future had he not taken care of it immediately!
More court hearings on 23 March 2011. This one is for the foreclosure on the house he hasn’t made payments on. Looks like a “Motion to Dismiss” has been submitted.
Casey Anthony: The day Jose Baez said, ‘You just screamed like a little girl’
March, 16 2011
At the end, something happened that infuriated Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton, Longo said. “Whatever did happen, we don’t know what it was. The court reporter doesn’t make reference to it,” Longo said.
Then the argument followed, with Ashton snapping at defense attorney Cheney Mason to “keep your comments, thoughts, feelings to yourself.”
Defense attorney Jose Baez asked why Ashton was raising his voice. They traded words, and Baez complained, “You just screamed. You just screamed like a little girl.”
