Casey Anthony Trial

I am interested in the opinions of my fellow humans on this Casey Anthony trial.

My first topic is Jose Baez.  I read the following today regarding Mr. Baez:

It has taken a while for Baez to establish himself as a defense lawyer. Despite graduating from law school in 1997, the Navy veteran was denied admission to the Florida bar for eight years until 2005.

An order by the Supreme Court of Florida states that he was denied admission because of his failure to pay child support to his ex-wife and secure life and health insurance for his teenage daughter. It states that he had previously declared bankruptcy, written bad checks and defaulted on student loans, the court said.

The Florida Supreme Court said his financial mishaps coupled with failure to pay child support "show a lack of respect for the rights of others and a total lack of respect for the legal system, which is absolutely inconsistent with the character and fitness qualities required of those seeking to be afforded the highest position of trust and confidence recognized by our system of law."

Baez declined several requests by ABC News to comment on this story.

As I've read, Casey was referred to Jose Baez by her fellow inmates.  I would think if they were INMATES, he wasn't a very good lawyer! (Okay, I probably should NOT have started my first Blog entry with a joke but it was irresistible.)  I agree with others on the Backseat Lawyer blog that Casey's relationship with Mr. Baez appears questionable.  She struts around and acts like she's courting him rather than him being her attorney.  They seem to be enjoying the company of each other more than the situation warrants.

Anyone else want to comment?
