Jose Baez Files Motions For Sanctions Against State in Casey Anthony Case

Jose Baez Files Motions For Sanctions Against State For Withholding Evidence

Jose Baez, filed new court documents Monday morning.

The documents asked for unspecified sanctions against the state for failing to furnish the defense team with evidence from two experts in the case.

So Baez is basically saying he was not aware of evidence being sent to the "Body Farm" - laboratories in Oak Ridge, Tennessee........ umm okay. I was aware of that, were you not aware of that? Guess Baez missed that memo.

In reference to #12; the media obtained the discovery records under the "sunshine law". In order to do so, Baez had already been given the results and all the documents. So the media obtained the documents a day after Baez received them -- Baez received 1.20.09. It is his duty to request evidence from the prosecution. No one is to blame but Baez and/or his firm for not requesting the discovery, in this matter, the forensics reports, from the prosecution sooner than he did. Seems to me Baez needs to take a refresher course instead of "teaching" at FAMU.
