Privilege Waived - Part II: Remember Me?

Jose Baez, March 28, 2011:

“The defense is going to make the strategic decision to waive any and all privilege as it pertains to Mr. Dominic Casey . . . Speak freely.”

Dominic Casey was the first private investigator for the defense and, the only investigator for Casey Anthony (individually) and her family’s interest.

Because of attorney misconduct, Casey Anthony was able to pursue a Fraudulent Defense, Indigency and Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. There was no defense fund!!
