Looking for a pic of his wife.
I'd like to see one too. I did hear Geraldo Rivera refer to her as lovely last month when Geraldo had Mr & Mrs Baez as his guests on his Yacht in NY.
After digging through Fl statutes the only things I can find that refer to the 5 years experience rule are all directly related to court appointed attorneys which Baez is not. There are rules in place in most states to make sure people facing the death penalty are not inadequately defended by a state appointed attorney (which use to happen all the time).
Can't find a thing about a privately paid for attorney needing to meet this standard. Everyone has to have their first capital case somewhere along the line, the state isn't willing to foot the bill though or risk the appeal.

one_hoohah_wife, you're right - Casey can waive the statutory protections and have anyone who is admitted to the bar represent her. It comes from the right to represent yourself - but they won't allow someone who isn't a defendant and isn't admitted to the bar ever argue in court.
But, there are ethical rules that JB would be tiptoeing - I doubt he would sit first chair at trial. One assumes if there is a statutory law about representation, its probably there for a good reason and the lawyer should defer.
The waivers usually are only used if the client and lawyer have some type of exceptional relationship (not the JB/KC kind), or if the history of the case is ridiculous - like say an old woman who had the same lawyer for 50 years who has defended her for years, but only recently took the bar in that state - because he'd be admitted to the bar in FL for less than 5 years, he'd technically be unqualified...but the court would probably let her waive it
Just reported on wesh 2 news that Casey has been with Baez at his office all day and that they are still there.
I'm not an attorney so I have no idea was reasonable, but considering there is no new charges and no new evidence, what could they possible be talking about for hours on end???? Does he not have other cases? :waitasec::waitasec:

---------------Sucks for him though... no more brownies :-(
Oh dear oh dear.
Did anyone see todays presser?
JB was... well lets just say he didnt disappoint.
So funny at the end when HE said to the journalists "Thank you. I have no further questions."
Ummm JB, YOU called the press conference. The journo's were there to ask YOU questions.
Sheeeesh.
I agree about wishing for her the "most experienced" representation. I think the State of Florida only wants to try these charges one time (if that) and the best way to ensure this is to have an even playing field.
I don't know if you noticed but I was saying that I heard the second Jose was good (not JB). But I note the second Jose is also a greenie for death penalty cases (I think).

Yes or he (the lawyer in your scenario) could motion to appear pro hac vice ...
I wouldn't be surprised if the (eventual) lead attorney is someone from out of state ... As I've stated before ... I think some big shot will swoop in and rescue Casey from herself!
