Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez has cut ties with Press Corps Media, the much maligned media relations firm that was not paid by Baez but worked with his law firm in some capacity.
Baez's new spokeswoman is Marti Mackenzie(pictured), author of the book Courting the Media, and spokeswoman in the high-profile Lisa Nowak case.
"What I do is I help free lawyers in high-profile cases to spend the time that's necessary to represent their clients," Mackenzie said.
She would not comment on Baez's previous relationship with Press Corps Media, but said moving forward she is the "only person" handling media relations for the firm.
Press Corps Media came under scrutiny after is was revealed that founder of the company, Gil Cabot, had been convicted of trying to extort money from a Los Angeles television news anchor.
Cabot said it doesn't matter that the Baez law firm hired a new spokeswoman.
"Jose Baez has no authority to fire Press Corps Media," he said.
Sabrina Cane, spokeswoman for Press Corps, said the firm is being paid by a Connecticut family to handle media relations for the Casey Anthony case. While Press Corps has suspended media services, their specialists continue to monitor and research the case. Cane says they'll be prepared to offer their services to lawyers and experts for the defense team as the case moves to trial.
Who is this Connecticut family who is paying for Casey's press? And why on Earth are they doing it? They may actually believe that Casey is innocent, but aren't there more deserving charities to give their money to. Tens of thousands of hardworking people are losing their jobs everyday, but they give their dollars to an alleged baby killer. What are they thinking?
And Jose Baez may not have the authority to fire the media firm, but what are they going to do when he isn't giving them information to release? That's as good as fired for a PR firm.
