Key word, "Team"

She still has to serve for the lying, she wasn't set free that moment like the movies.

From what Optherion posted before he edited, I was under the impression he was referring to her.

Was referring to the defense team, but I see how it was misunderstood. She might not be guilty, but her child is still gone. Not sure if that truly calls for any celebration in my book.

The partying is because Jose Baez just won the largest case next to the OJ Simpson case. To win something that big so early in your career is kind of a big deal. He really doesn't care about Caylee. IMO

I agree, but that is the job. You dont ask questions you don't want to know, you do your job for the paycheck. There are a lot of lawyers that do this everyday just not as big media wise. He just won the case that set him for life, he will never have to accept a low paying case, or even a possible lost. He will choose easy cases that pay an ass ton, and be famous.

That is if he can live with himself after this, which I would assume he will be able to.

Bottom line, it isn't the lawyers job to get personal with the client, it's there job to take the evidence they have and defend their client.

YES! A little girl is dead! PARTY TIME!

Fucking dirtbags.

Epacy2 · 07-06-2011, 06:42 AM

No problem with the Defense team celebrating. Everyone can keep trotting out Caylee at every possible argument like Nancy Grace, but don't think for one moment the Prosecution wouldn't have done something celebratory if they one. Even though they didn't, they still held a presser jerking everyone off from the state side.
Baez addressed and brought up Caylee in his presser, did the Prosecution? No.
The Defense just won a three year long case they all had been living. They have the right to celebrate if they want. Don't judge them as so many of you all had pre-judged Casey.

What should their defense have done? Walked up and said "ladies and gentleman, this is woman killed her daughter... thank you?" They are tasked with defending a client and they painted her as a lying irresponsible psychopath. It's not like they got up and said that she was mother of the year and should be given an award. Their JOB was to poke holes in the story of the prosecution which was, unfortunately for Caylee, extremely easy to do given the lack of irrefutable evidence in this case.

Exactly. I wouldn't doubt if the defense team thinks she actually did it. But they were getting paid to convince the jury that she did not kill her daughter.

it's better that a few guilty are set free than one innocent convicted. I believe she's undoubtedly guilty, however our system works so that even if there is an ounce of doubt in the jury, they will no convict a person in fear of imprisoning an innocent person. Shit system, but makes sense I guess.

Problem is its not about YOU, or what YOU think, or what ANYONE thinks.

Its what they can prove, and they couldn't prove shit.

They couldn't prove shit for the charges they brought up. And that is where the mistake was. If they went for lesser charges (negligent homicide, aggravated child abuse, etc.), she would have been found guilty based on the fact that she lied about where her daughter was, failed to report her missing (if she was missing) and in turn neglected her safety.

Bet big, lose big. But as everyone can see, it shouldn't be right to fault the prosecution for betting that anyone with common sense can see that something very wrong happened to Caylee and that Casey had something to do with it. It's when you zero in on premeditated murder and the defense tells the jury "You better be damn sure" that doubts can be raised and rightly so. And I think they should have known that before they went to trial.

The prosecution had 3 years and all the resources the state of Florida had to offer and they still couldn't come up with a convincing case then they do not deserve to have Casey convicted.

Furthermore, I don't think people understand that Jose Baez is a CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY. It is his JOB, follow the bouncing ball now, to DEFEND (taken from the DEFENSE aspect of his title), alleged CRIMINALS (also taken from his specified TYPE of attorney).

He is also pretty good at it.

They didn't convict her of lesser murder/neglect charges either.

schoy · 07-06-2011, 12:05 PM

The partying doesn't really bother me too much. Caylee didn't die because the defense won.

Also, imagine being their shoes: spending probably 80+ hours a week for 3 years, and with the end result being a significant career achievement. Don't you think they should be entitled to celebrate a bit? No different than, say, a large contractor winning a bid worth billions of dollars after spending millions of $ and man-hours on R&D (meaning a competitor, also spending millions, lost the bid and will probably have to lay off employees); I don't see people crying over the competitor's laid-off employees.

I do think, however, that they should probably have been more cognizant of public perception (like AIG planning lavish corporate outings to the Ritz in 2008 - though AIG did eventually cancel the trip). If I were the lead partner of the case, I probably would have had the celebration in the office away from cell phone cameras, etc.

With all due respect, I beg to differ on this point. If you review the proceedings and hear from other defense attorneys, they do not feel he did a particularly good job. He was lucky that the prosecution could never determine a true cause of death, and that was the main point.

Jose made some very damaging statements about other family members at the beginning but never offered proof for these allegations. Thats why the defense was on their heels for much of the trial because he could not prove his claims that he made at the beginning of the trial.
With that said, he did correctly identify that a true cause of death had not been shown, and this is what created doubt in the minds of the jury (at least that is as much as we know at thispoint from what has been released through the media).
I agree that negligent homicide, or some equivalent, should have been the goal from the beginning. For 3 years they knew that they could not prove that Caylee did not drown, so this should not have been a surprise here at the end.
