A private investigator hired by Jose Baez, the defense attorney for Casey Anthony, claims Baez admitted that Casey Anthony killed and buried the body of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
According to WFTS, Dominic Casey said Baez told him he “needed all the help he could get to find the body before somebody else did.”

In a cease and desist letter to WFLA News Channel 8, Baez Law Firm said, “As you are aware, this information comes from an attention seeking, delusional individual, with a history of making false and outrageous claims, not only to court officials, but to the media.”

Not in my mind. She is piece of shit.
That's the claim
In a statement to PEOPLE, Baez disputes all Dominic Casey's allegations. "I unequivocally and categorically deny exchanging sex for my legal services with Ms. Anthony," he writes. "I further unequivocally and categorically deny having any sexual relationship with Ms. Anthony whatsoever."

but this was one of those cases like OJ where you felt like with a high degree of certainty you knew who did it.
It's a "fact"?
In any event, this is a deep breach of confidence by the PI (if true). He should never be hired by another lawyer again.
Sex and publicity. He is now a well-known commodity, this case built his brand.

Maybe the attorney tried to pay for the PI's services with sex. That could explain the degeneration of that relationship.
You spelled Margot Kidder wrong.

but in this case, compounded with the fact that he extracted payment in sex, I'm willing to waive that restraint.

You're right, fact it is not, I should have gone with allegation.
And I'd normally distrust the PI - but as of yesterday afternoon all Baez could muster up was a 'no comment'. It seems like he's come out and denied it since. IMO, if it was untrue (or even if it is true and only he, Anthony and the PI knew about it) it seems like something that could easily be categorically denied from the start.

He denied on Tuesday ...

I think that even the guilty deserve competent legal representation. The alternative is scary to contemplate IMO.
Most people thought Anthony was guilty. Sad that this evil women won't be punished for this (in this lifetime at least), but I'm OK with the occasional guilty person not being convicted because we have real trials here in America. It's authoritarian countries with 99%+ conviction rates that scare me.
You really have to question the source.

Defendants need quality representation. Now whether defendants need expert witnesses who will say fucking anything for $500 a pop, whether defendants need defense attorneys who will skewer pre-pubescent rape victims at a prelim in the hopes of discouraging their trial testimony, that's at least an open question.
CORRECTED

Dominic Casey also claims that a convicted drug trafficker and money launderer for Mexican drug lord “El Chapo” put up the money for Casey Anthony’s defense and also contributed $200,000 reward money and $500,000 to pay for her second bail bond.
while at the same time claiming this:
“Within two weeks, the misconduct between Casey and Jose Baez had escalated. I arrived at Baez’s office unexpectedly one day and once again, witnessed a naked Casey. This time she ran from his private office, through the conference room to the hallway. That night I told her that she cannot allow him to continue engaging in this behavior. Casey told me she had to do what Jose said because she had no money for her defense.”
You really have to question the source. I mean which one is it? El Chapo paid or the coochie did

Yeah I get the ethics behind everyone having a right to a fair trial and representation. I'm just saying I couldn't be the guy doing it. I couldn't live with myself having to defend people like her.
And that aside, she deserves a slow painful death for killing her own child.
Which brings up another point, I'm surprised Anthony went into photography and didn't just go full Amy Fisher and straight into porn.
The prosecution failed to prove how the child died. If they cant prove a cause of death how can you convict someone of murder?

from this same guy? So if he isnt credible, both the admission and the sex story are bunk.

I'll admit to coming from this from an inside-the-industry perspective, but to me it is scandalous that a PI hired for a criminal defense effort breaches the confidence of the client. Especially for no public purpose (e.g. a doctor breaching confidences to prevent a violent attack). How would we feel is priests and psychiatrists routinely went on TV and said "you wouldnt believe what parishioner/patient X told me"? I think we would all have a problem with that. Same issue for lawyers to me -- AND PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH THE LAWYERS. Much like a nurse shouldnt betray that doctor's patient's condifences, nor should this P.I.

title straight from the headline

enough to pay for a high profile legal defense? Line up Sophia Vergara, Olivia Wylde, Emilia Clarke, and Margot Robbie and we'll talk.
You spelled Margot Kidder wrong.
Hahahaha. Mr. Bungle likes the crazy eyes!
wouldn't fit in thread title
I'm dead serious LOL
I wouldn't trust this report and even if it is true, I don't really care.
That attorney would have done it with or without the sex or money .... his profile quadrupled during that trial and after the victory.
It could have only helped business ... imo.
