Casey Anthony's defense team is going after the prosecutors in her murder trial.
Jose Baez filed an emergency motion late Tuesday. In it, he claims the prosecution is violating Casey's 6th Amendment right to counsel of her choice.
Baez bases his motion on the fact that someone with the State Attorney's Office recently complained to the Florida Bar about him. Baez claims prosecutors are trying to taint him and are interfering with Casey's defense.
Baez says the state attorney's complaint was egregious and prejudicial. He wants to put prosecutors on the stand to explain themselves. A legal analyst told Orlando station WFTV that's not likely to happen.
Because the complaint was filed late in the day, there has been no comment from prosecutors or the judge who received the motion.
Baez has denied allegations that he has entertainment deals based on outcome of Casey's trial. Such agreements are prohibited.

Someone from the States Attorney's Office probably complained, but it was probably for good reason. If Casey loses in court she can go back and say Jose Baez wasn't working in her best interest, that he was working on the outcome that would earn him the biggest payday in the end. It appears that something shady is going on, even if nobody can put their finger on exactly what it is. All these lawyers and experts aren't working for free so where is the money coming from.
