Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read the 140 sample pages. The overall impression I get is that Baez is just so, so, so proud of himself and he thinks he's a big star. Baez is so morally deluded and occupied with tooting his horn that he completely overlooks the numerous contradictions he's made throughout his book. In 2008: Baez preached "Caylee is alive, she is out there and we need to find her. The police are concentrating on the wrong things." Now: The cops should have immediately realized Casey Anthony was not playing with a full deck and done...what? Stopped questioning her about her missing child? Sent her to one of the mental health experts who DID IN FACT EXAMINE HER and found her perfectly fit to stand trial? He shows absolutely no regard for human life and ignores the rights of Caylee Marie Anthony. Caylee had the right to live and the right to be buried respectfully as a human being and not left in the woods to be chewed up by animals. He also ignores her right to be found during an investigation that her OWN MOTHER obstructed for her own selfish reasons. I take issue with Baez thinking his personal opinion of Casey's mental health overrides those of the numerous experts who examined Casey Anthony before and even DURING the trial to ascertain her mental health. Baez is as crappy of a psychiatrist as he is a lawyer. What he should have included in his book would be what that mental health analysis taken during the trial indicates. In 2008 Baez was moseying around with a birthday card Jesse Grund sent Caylee, showing it to anyone and everyone who walks by and commenting on how creepy it is. Much LIKE CASEY ANTHONY HERSELF, He completely ignores George as any sort of person of interest at this point. Then before he got to George, Baez amused himself by going after Kronk and all 5000 Texas Equusearch volunteers in his quest to pin this crime on anyone but his murdering client, I take issue with Baez's bragging and chronicling Casey's great escape. I take issue with the fact that Casey was laughing and joking with Baez about the fact that she both lied and created Zanny (most likely after seeing the real Zenaida's information at Sawgrass apartments.) This was Casey's daughter that she was talking about and to her it's all a big joke and Baez thinks putting this in his book will somehow endear the public to this monster? I was appalled by how deluded his reasoning is. Baez did however, say one thing I found very revealing. He said that when he smelled Casey's car, his first course of action was to talk to her about taking a plea deal. Really Baez? A car that according to you, stunk from a trash bag containing empty food wrappers caused such a drastic reaction from you? You smelled something you were willing to call trash at Casey's trial and the first thought that entered your head was to talk to your client about taking a plea? Most people who watched the trial found it a complete farce. Baez's opening statement was absolutely ridiculous. He attempts to blame Kronk for moving the body and shoots himself in the foot by pointing out that although, according to him Casey did not place the body there, SHE WAS THERE the day that Caylee died and witness to Caylee's death? How does this not make her a murderer? Another thing I found laughable was the way he spouted off about how cruel the police were for taking Casey to the clinic and breaking the news to her while the evil jail thwarted his desperate attempts to reach his distraught client. How did they torture her? With the truth? Does he think they killed Caylee and threw her in the woods? I disagree with him about the definition of cruelty. I find it far crueler to string the world along, giving them false hope that poor Caylee was alive, to the point where she was empathetically stating she "could feel in her heart that Caylee was still alive", when all along Casey knew full well that she was dead. Let me also point out that Casey made 200,000 selling pictures of her dead child while entreating the world to find her because she, "Casey was innocent and Caylee was still alive." At another point, he seems to suggest that Casey was suffering from some kind of PTSD after Caylee's death, yet she was able to tailor her lies the minute they were discovered to fit the story in a way that makes sense? She was able to describe in detail how her child who she knew full well was out somewhere rotting was having the time of her life at Busch Gardens. Or...How about the phone call? How about the fact that Casey lied and claimed she had talked to her dead daughter the day before she was arrested. Casey Anthony and Jose Baez got their wish. Caylee has sadly been reduced to exactly what Casey saw her as in life, a thing, a bauble that Casey Anthony now wears around her neck. Anyone who thinks this trial was a miscarriage of justice should not allow Caylee to become more of a commodity. One thing we can take solace in is that Casey Anthony HAS NOT been able to profit from her daughter's murder. Everyone who was unhappy with this verdict should continue to boycott her and her sleazy, lying of a lawyer and NOT buy this pathetic, trashy book which isn't worth the paper that it's written on.
