Casey Anthony: Linda Kenney Baden still fighting for her on TV

Linda Kenney Baden may have left Casey Anthony’s defense team, but she is still an advocate for Anthony on television.

New York attorney Kenney Baden said she was a guest last night on HLN’s “Issues With Jane Velez-Mitchell” to bring some defense common sense.”

Kenney Baden also took a bow: “Remember that jail tape when she was in jail and the child missing was found, and the prosecution wanted to get it in? Remember that? Well, the judge, the prosecution today stipulated they’re not going to use that tape. That was a huge win. And I’m proud of that, because I wrote the brief on that.”

In October, Kenney Baden cited financial reasons for departing the case. Her travel and lodging expenses would not be covered because Anthony is indigent. Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Kenney Baden bemoaned that Anthony “can’t see her parents at the jail” and called attention to Anthony’s tears at seeing her mother, Cindy, on Wednesday.

“We learned today for the first time, at least I learned, that these conversations at the jail are not taped unless the police request them to be taped and videoed,” Kenney Baden said. “And that’s the reason why she [Cindy Anthony] couldn’t see her daughter … this whole year and a half, because every time, it went out to the media, it was like parsing every word. We should be angry about that.”

Her solution: “Be fair, then. Do it for everyone.”

Velez-Mitchell asked her to return, and Kenney Baden said she would.
