Casey Anthony: Jose Baez dismisses $1 million offer

Jose Baez doesn’t sound interested in a producer’s $1 million offer to interview Casey Anthony.

“I heard just heard on your network someone is claiming that there is a deal for a million dollars. That is not so,” Baez told Geraldo Rivera tonight on Fox News Channel. “I was going to meet with the individual and hear whatever offer he wanted to make.”

Additional excerpt:
""We all have to recognize she has been found innocent by a jury. To treat her as guilty would not be fair, and I do believe people are entitled to write books and sell their stories," Robert Gottlieb, president of the Trident Group of book agents, said Sunday." ""Trident would be interested," he said. "

"The attorney for Anthony's parents said negotiations are underway for George and Cindy Anthony to do their own book. Mark Lippman said Sunday that any profits would go to a foundation, to be incorporated today in Florida, to promote grandparents' rights, efforts to help missing children and passage of "Caylee's Law," which would make it a crime to fail to report a missing child within 48 hours." [and the "Directors" of the Foundation, who handle all funds are the unemployed George and Cindy Anthony]
 
Why the names of the Casey Anthony jurors are important to you

Leave the jurors alone.

In the frenzied aftermath of Casey Anthony's not guilty verdict, you heard it again and again: Why should the media have the right to know who jurors are, even in a case unlike any other?

Normally when a trial is over, a judge thanks the jurors for their service (six weeks of it, in this case) and tells them they are normal folk again, free to talk about it or not, their choice. But Circuit Judge Belvin Perry also took the unusual move of keeping jurors' names sealed, citing people's unhappiness with their verdict.

So why do we need to know the jurors' names? First off, because everyone should always want government's hands where we can see them.

When any part of our system does business in secret — spending, hiring, even trying court cases — you can bet someone within that system will one day find a way to corrupt it, to get a little something for himself, because hey, who's watching?

Corners are cut, bribes taken and deals made in the dark. Imagine you could never discover that a juror was an old friend of the prosecutor or an ex-employee of the defense. Courthouse corruption does not exist only in John Grisham beach-reads.

Very interesting article with a quote from prior press relations representative Marti Mackenzie.

Casey Anthony hasn't gotten over Caylee's death, attorney says


Snipped

Media relations expert Marti Mackenzie, who specialized in legal cases, said it's important for Anthony to make some kind of public statement soon. She said a standard news conference is out of the question, but Anthony needs to say she made terrible mistakes, that she is grateful to her defense team and that she has thought about what happened every day of her life in jail.

"In traditional public relations language, it's called feeding the beast," Mackenzie said. "Even if you don't give the beast a full meal, you respond. Because once you're part of media scrutiny ... how it is handled once the case is over will help to set a tone."

Attorney: Expect More Lawsuits
He said while Anthony defense attorney Jose Baez enjoys immunity for allegations he made during opening arguments that Kronk was a "morally bankrupt individual," that immunity does not extend to allegations against Kronk on national television.
"We are looking at everyone who made defamatory statements about Mr. Kronk," Marks told WESH 2 News.
Howard Marks is Roy Kronk's Attorney
