I wish I had gotten up earlier to watch this. I am a bit late weighing in on this ; ;
I just wanted to comment on a few things earlier said in the thread about Jose's media appearances. He absolutely ran the gamut on every outlet of the media circuit (circus!)
And therein lies the irony in displaying this media video of "public opinion" in open court. That irony was well reflected in Judge Strickland's motion recusing himself. I really don't think Mr. Jose Baez is a media hound to be honest. I think his inexperience as a lawyer in high profile cases lead him to think that he needed to balance the media coverage. I believe he thought if he could put just as much out there supporting Casey Anthony, that he was in some way actually preserving the potential of a jury to be unbiased. Of course, that backfired. And much of what he said on television about the case has provided fodder for months, and only fueled the fire of the public's anger in this case (quite justified I might add.)
I just wanted to add that thought
And as usual, I state that I am wrong alot, and could certainly be mistaken again. I know Mr. Baez has certainly given the impression that he wants to use this case to increase his coffers, or to use this notoriety as a launching pad for a more lucrative career. I'm sure those two reasons play some part in his media campaign,
but I think his media mistakes are more likely due to inexperience.
