Juror Surveys Call Casey’s Attorney “Rat,” “Jerk”
ORLANDO, Fla. — “An ambulance chaser and a rat,” is how one potential juror described Jose Baez in court. Eyewitness News obtained juror surveys from other cases Baez, Casey Anthony’s attorney, has defended.
JUROR SURVEYS: December 2008 Trial | November 2009 Trial
BILL SHEAFFER: Analysis Of What Surveys Mean
Many were critical of Baez’s work, so WFTV reporter Kathi Belich asked WFTV’s legal expert whether Baez’s image might hurt Casey’s case in court.
There were a lot of negative descriptions of Casey’s defense attorney, Jose Baez, when he questioned potential jurors in an Osceola County case he was defending in December 2008, just four days after Caylee’s remains were found.
Baez was described as an “ambulance chaser and rat,” “a jerk” who “should find another line of business,” “not a good lawyer” who is “full of himself” and “is out to become famous.” Baez apparently was worried there was fallout over defending Casey and the answers he got proved there was.
“It’s called damage control. What are we going to do to limit the damage to my current clients, my future clients and, ultimately, the damage to Casey Anthony,” WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said Friday .
Sheaffer says the potential jurors likely were focusing their anger on Baez after hearing days earlier how Caylee was found dead, with duct tape over her mouth, tossed in the woods in a trash bag.
“The community’s emotions were raw,” Sheaffer said.
Sometimes, time softens those raw edges. In fact, the negative comments about Baez dropped in his questionnaire for a case a year later, from 13 to two.
Only four people of the 80 questioned had something good to say about Baez, like he’s “working hard to win.”
About 30 people said they had no opinion of Baez, though most of them at least knew of him.
“You may well find out they do have an opinion and they have an agenda,” Sheaffer said.
One potential Osceola County juror, just three months ago, explained what he knew about Casey’s case with one word, “guilty.”
A little less than half the people questioned in both cases said they did not know a lot about Casey’s case. While the surveys are not scientific, it could mean that if her trial doesn’t happen for another year and a half, they’ll at least try to find a jury in Orlando.

Bozo is the kind of guy who would give you the scales right off his back…..

Looks like he gave them all to Casey!
they think bozo a “rat”? wait until jurors hear/see the anthony’s!!
Yeah Sindy reminds me of a bad mix of a cow and a beaver.
Seriously… I wonder if it is possible to find anyone who has not heard something about this case?
As much as I want justice served for Caylee- I am not sure where you will find an impartial jury? It still all goes back to the start, the minute anyone hears that a mother did not call the police for 31 days after her child went missing (not to mention the CA 911 call…) I don’t think you can reel anyone back in after that!
Hi All========Bozo is the perfect lawyer for Casey,i think they are a marriage made in HADES.They deserve each other ,both are lying ,coniving xxx bags,that will do anything if they can obtain thier dreams.Casey murdered her daughter,Bozo sold his sole for 15 minutes of fame,Yea,they are joined at the hips.
In case someone wants to know. WHO IS JOSE BAEZ

NO - I’m not going to let Cindy give cows & beavers a bad rap!
I did some research & Cindy is exactly like the spasmanian (I mean Tasmanian Devil)
Some think its a folk lore, a mis truth; but Cindy lives in a fairy tale world.
The similarities between Cindy & Taz are unbeleivable!
The hair ( I guess he cuts his own hair too), the attitude, the teeth, the viciousness & then the EYES! They are so evil, they will eat their young! Yep shes a Tazmanian Devil!
Observation,
ROFLMAO!!!! Sindy does act like a tasmainian devil! She needs anger management in a bad bad way.
OBS======Tasnsmainian devil,so true,i’ve also read they are so feared by men because they attach a certain area that men don’t want attached,we know Cindy does that to the men in her life.lol
obs-i’m reporting you to the looney toon council for fairer treatment of animated characters. i’m sure they’d want to hear about your comparison. poor taz.
just for the record. most of us think all lawyers are rats anyway so comparing baez to a rat is a moot point.
Express: suggestion for a topic or poll. After conviction (LWOP or the death penalty) who in her immediate group of supporters, including family and friends and “lawyers” and lawyer helpers and the private EYES who all claim her innocence from the highest towers, do we think will continue their support? And this is when the cash flows are dried up. Literally when Casey has dried up and has been in prison for let’s say her first 10 years?
“Why didn’t the rattlesnake bite the lawyer?”
Professional courtesy!!

You are just so darn cute, inside & out!
I just visited The Baez Law Firm official website. None of his links work. There are links to success stories that dont work. Even his contact link doesnt work. Then all of a sudden I got message that there is a problem with website security certificate and they recommended I close the webpage. Scared the heck out of me. Hope he is not tracking who visits!!LOL
I would so love to know if skank knows that the state has asked for a meeting with the judge . I wonder why baez has not put a motion in against it , or been on TV yapping about it , unless he has and I missed that news !!!
Curious,
