FOX 35 confirmed on Tuesday that a contract has been signed on half-acre property off Suburban Drive.

Padilla was offering $50,000 cash. Padilla's assistant told FOX 35 that he wanted to buy the lot to put up a memorial. The Anthony's attorney, Brad Conway, tells FOX 35 Padilla did not get the property. He assures me it was sold to a "good person who has good intentions."

The Anthonys have said that they hope the property gets fenced-off, and they want the makeshift memorial, which has been present for months, to come down.

The Florida Bar is looking into Casey Anthony's attorney José Baez again. A Bar spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday that the inquiry involves private investigator Dominic Casey, who has worked for Baez and the Anthony family.

Marti Mackenzie, a Baez spokeswoman, said in a statement that he "has done nothing unethical."

Big "oops" in case against Casey?
Recordings were accidentally released on Monday

The problem is, that reaction was not supposed to be released to the media now, and possibly never. "This is the kind of thing that gets people new trials," said local defense attorney, Diana Tennis.

As Tennis listened to the audio recordings from that interview, her amazement grew. "I think its pretty outrageous. Everybody has a right to strict confidence of their conversation with their lawyer. Just because you're in jail doesn't mean you have any less of a right," said Tennis.

Tennis also believes that some medical privacy laws were violated as well. She believes the defense can use this "mess up" to their advantage.
"When we get down to change of venue, this is what I would be bringing up if I were part of the defense team."

UPDATED: Audio Interviews Accidentally Leaked In Casey Case

Meanwhile, veteran trial lawyer Cheney Mason said Judge Stan Strickland may decide the interviews can't be used in the prosecution&#8217;s case.
&#8220;Prohibit them from using any of that testimony or description of her reactions in trial in any capacity whatsoever. Suppress it to prohibit it from ever seeing the light of day in the courtroom for any purpose,&#8221; Mason said.

Mason can't predict what Strickland will do, but he can't imagine a mistake of this magnitude will sit well.
Strickland has already shown he is frustrated to both the prosecution and the defense in this case.
The judge was expected to rule on the audio files May 7.

Casey Anthony's parent, George and Cindy Anthony, will be deposed in the civil case against their daughter by lawyers for Zenaida Gonzalez Thursday.
The depositions will take place in the morning.

Ex-Boyfriend: Anthony Said Brother Made Sex Advance
Claim Comes In Newly Released Documents
April 8, 2009

"Uhm, Casey uh, and Lee were at the house alone together and Casey, and Lee attempted to have sex with her," Grund said to investigators on Sept. 8, 2008. "My impression was that somehow he was trying to pressure her into it somehow."

Grund said the incident took place in September 2005 before Anthony's daughter Caylee was born.

Also in his interview, Grund is says Lee Anthony said his sister and their mother, Cindy Anthony, had a violent fight that led Casey Anthony to leave the home just before Caylee was reported missing. According to Grund, Lee Anthony said Cindy Anthony told him about the fight, which involved Cindy Anthony choking her daughter.

Grund, however, said Casey Anthony never mentioned the fight to him.

Media zap right to fair trial: To wit, Casey Anthony et al.
Terence Lenamon | Special to the Sentinel
April 8, 2009

As one who represented Casey Anthony during negotiations on whether Florida would seek the death penalty, I think it's time that we evaluate the American media coverage of this hitherto unknown twentysomething single mother. Anthony is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie.

Source: Judge Filed Complaint Against Casey's Attorney
Posted: 4:44 pm EDT April 8, 2009
Updated: 4:51 pm EDT April 8, 2009

Eyewitness News has learned Circuit Judge Stan Strickland is one of two people who have filed new complaints against Jose Baez. The Florida Bar says both investigations involve Baez's former private eye, Dominic Casey. He's the guy who was at the remains scene a month before detectives found Caylee.

But Jose Baez isn't alone. Eyewitness News also confirmed Wednesday that another lawyer wrapped up in the case is under investigation by the Florida Bar.

Brad Conway is the lawyer representing George and Cindy Anthony. Eyewitness News has learned Brad Conway was with Dominic Casey when Dominic Casey gave investigators information that Judge Strickland later determined was privileged to the defense. Eyewitness News is still working to find out the exact complaint in Conway's investigation.

Jose Baez has been investigated by the Florida Bar before, but now sources tell Eyewitness News it's the judge in the case against Casey that's filed a complaint against Casey Anthony's own attorney.

The Florida Bar says both investigations involve Baez's former private eye, Dominic Casey. He's the guy who was at the remains scene a month before detectives found Caylee.

It's very rare for a judge to file a complaint like this, but all judges are obligated as attorneys to report possible violations.

Casey Anthony case: Just how close was she to her brother?

daughter, Caylee. Grund cited her reason: Lee attempted to have sex with her when they were alone at the house.
"I didn't have anything else concrete on it," Grund told detectives. "It was so vile and disgusting to me that I really didn't want to go any further into it."

Ober put Grund's statements in context: He had called Casey a pathological liar, and she was the source of the allegations.

There's been rampant speculation that Lee might be the father of Caylee, but Ober reminded viewers that an FBI paternity test showed that wasn't true. Casey Anthony has said she had a one-night stand with Caylee's father, who later died in a car accident.

Her mother, Cindy Anthony, and father, George Anthony, are scheduled to be questioned under oath by attorneys representing Zenaida Gonzalez.

Keith Mitnik, one of Gonzalez's attorneys, said Cindy Anthony is a central person involved in the case. She spoke publicly about the nanny when Casey Anthony couldn't, he said.

Casey Anthony court date set over video reaction to when Caylee's body was found

Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer

Casey Anthony has another court date -- May 7.

Orange Circuit Judge Stan Strickland will hear arguments from her attorney, Jose Baez, on why the state should not release a video of Casey Anthony's reaction the day she learned a child's remains were found near her home.

Baez also wants the judge to stop the state from releasing any videos, audiotapes and interviews with corrections officers who may have heard any conversations between Baez and Casey Anthony.

Earlier this week, the State Attorney's Office mistakenly released two taped interviews of two corrections officers who described Casey Anthony's reaction on Dec. 11.

Casey Anthony case: WFTV reports that judge filed a complaint against Jose Baez with the Florida Bar

Circuit Judge Stan Strickland -- the judge in the Casey Anthony case -- has filed a complaint against Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney, WFTV-Channel 9 reported tonight.
It's very rare for a judge to file such a complaint with the Florida Bar, WFTV reporter Kathi Belich said in breaking the story at 5 p.m.

WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said the complaint wouldn't disqualify Strickland from the case and that Anthony would have to object. But Sheaffer advised against that move because other judges wouldn't be "as tolerant and as patient" as Strickland has been with Baez.

WKMG's Jessica D'Onofrio explored the audio interrogation of Amy Downing, Casey Anthony's former friend. Downing described Anthony as an overprotective mother who lied all the time -- "but no one ever called her on it," D'Onofrio said. Downing also recalled that Anthony has several breakdowns.

Friend: Casey Wanted To Commit Herself
Annie Downing Tells Investigators Anthony Was Chronic Liar
POSTED: Wednesday, April 8, 2009
UPDATED: 7:04 pm EDT April 8, 2009
<snipped>
Casey Anthony's former best friend spoke to investigators about time she spent with the Anthony family immediately after Anthony was released on bond the first time.
Annie Downing stayed at the Anthony family home on Hope Spring Drive in east Orlando for one night in the summer of 2008.

Downing told investigators that Anthony did not give her a good idea of what happened to Caylee Anthony, but Downing said if Anthony did kill her daughter, she would not have acted alone.
"If Casey harmed Caylee, she didn't do it alone. I know that for sure. Casey's not that smart," Downing said.
