A year ago Cindy Anthony made a 911 call that set into motion one of the biggest crime cases in Central Florida history. “I've found my daughter but I can't find my granddaughter...and we got my daughters car back and it smells like there's been a dead body in the trunk.” The case has been full of twists and turns, one that Casey Anthony’s lawyer Jose Baez never saw coming.
Jose Baez sat down with FOX 35 reporter Holly Bristow to talk about the defense team.
Baez has teamed up with several nationally renowned experts to help him save his clients life. Andrea Lyon is a law professor from Chicago. She’s known as the "angel of death row" because she has never lost a death penalty case.
High profile New York attorney Linda Kenny Baden specializes in forensics. “There are ranges of the spectrum where you have science presented in the courtroom that completely relies on empirical data and then you have an area of science that relies on a person’s opinions and beliefs. That is where the area of false convictions comes up that's where false interpretation comes up and that’s where scientists become advocates,” said Baez.
Forensic expert Dr. Henry Lee's is also part of Casey's team. His testimony helped free OJ Simpson. So why are they helping to defend an unemployed single mother? “There wasn't one person that I was able to talk to that wasn't fascinated by this case when I was done.”
