<p>*baez cant violate the attorney/client priviledge…but casey can terminate it at any time by talking to someone… nothing stops her from going out and saying what she said in a meeting with her attorney…of course they would recommend she doesnt but only the attorney is restricted</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>Very true… That wasn’t my point. Yes, if Casey brings forth statements/accusations to the Florida Bar that Baez made up the story, then Baez could say that he didn’t. Don’t know if it would be ok for him to show all notes/tape recordings that he didn’t since she brought up the accusation.</p>
<p>But, if the Florida Bar thinks he made up the story, there’s little way that they could prove it. </p>
<p>*It is a complete waste of time and would be a huge blunder for any attorney to go to the prosecution with the client’s “story” unless there was ironclad, irrefutable evidence to back it up. Otherwise it’s just cluing the prosecution into the defense strategy so they can use that information to further bolster their own case.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p>Remember, Casey was in jail for awhile before she was charged with murder and the body was even found. </p>
<p>If Caylee drowned, he would have told Casey, we can easily prove that Caylee drowned by getting the body NOW (before it decomposes). We need to go to the prosecution, work out a plea dea, you’ll show the body, they’ll see that she drowned (lungs would indicate that), and you’ll just get charged with lying to cops. </p>
<p>Defense Attys often try plea deals before going to trial. </p>
<p>This whole concern about not wanting to blow the strategy is exaggerated. Typically, the gist of the defense is already known…“not guilty…some other dude did it.” The details aren’t known, but the gist is. Even claims of “not guilty, it was an accident” are usually long declared before the trial. </p>
<p>Nobody lets their client sit in jail for 3 years without a PEEP of “this was an accident.”</p>
