Casey Anthony’s Lawyer Jose Baez has decided to quit on his high profile client, Casey Anthony. It is unknown why he has quit, but it may have to do with the recent video that leaked!
Casey Anthony is on her own … ’cause the attorney who got her off murder charges has decided to REMOVE HIMSELF from Anthony’s legal team.
Anthony first hooked up with Jose Baez while she was in jail — and heard other inmates raving about his work.
It’s unclear why Baez tendered his resignation … though it’s rumored the two were having a falling out after Anthony’s private video diaries surfaced online.
Casey is also in contact with her mom, Cindy but not her father George (if you remember she accused him of sexual abuse as a child).
While Casey had cut off contact with both of her parents in the lead-up to her trial last summer, she has yet to resume communication with her father.
But as far as her mother is concerned, a source close to the family tells E! News, “They are talking.”
In the first stream-of-consciousness video that surfaced last week, Casey goes on for nearly five minutes, not once mentioning deceased daughter Caylee. After that initial clip hit the Internet, her parents’ lawyer released a statement saying, “They are concerned that the release of this video or any future videos could endanger their daughter. Cindy and George hope that Casey remains safe wherever she may be.”
However, while mom is now back in the fold, Anthony’s attorney is out—albeit of his own volition.
A source familiar with the situation tells E! News that Anthony remains unwilling to undergo psychotherapy.
“Dorothy and Jose have been trying to get Casey to go into therapy, but she refused to do it,” the source said. “Jose has become a parental figure in her life and she doesn’t want to be told what to do. And he’s done with it. The big issue is the therapy issue. He believes very strongly that if she doesn’t get help she can’t truly move on.”
In a side note, Casey’s former psychiatrist Dr. Jeff Danziger claims that she said she was raped at a party and that’s how Casey was conceived.
Casey Anthony said she was raped at a party when she was 18 and that’s how she conceived Caylee — this according to Casey’s former psychiatrist
The psychiatrist – Dr. Jeff Danziger — recounts the allegation in his deposition, which was just unsealed today by a Florida judge.
In the deposition, Danziger cites an interview he had with Casey in November 2010 — claiming, “Two beers, possibly given another drug. Woke up passed out … Don’t remember anything at a party, age 18. This is how she said she got pregnant.”
Danziger claims Casey did not know the identity of the father.
According to Danziger’s tests, Casey showed no signs of mental illness.
