Casey Anthony: Latest reporting vindicates George, attorney says
posted by halboedeker on November, 26 2012 6:01 PM

George Anthony’s attorney says his client has been vindicated by recent reporting about computer searches on the family computer.

Attorney Mark Lippman issued this statement Monday afternoon: “Recently a book was written which made libelous statements and raised baseless speculation about who performed computer searches relating to the term ‘fool-proof suffocation.’ This weekend it was discovered that this particular search term was never brought to the attention of the State Attorney’s Office. Further this search was never brought out in the trial and was never discussed or disclosed to the Anthonys. However, while it is clearly more than an oversight, the trial is over and the Anthonys are continuing to move forward with their lives. The only finality that this newest information brings is that once again the evidence clearly vindicates George Anthony from any argument made by any party relating to his involvement with whatever happened to his granddaughter, Caylee Anthony.”

The book, of course, is “Presumed Guilty” by Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s former attorney. In his opening statement at her trial, Baez alleged that George Anthony had sexually abused Casey, that Caylee had died of drowning in the family pool and that George disposed of the body.

WKMG-Channel 6 reporter Tony Pipitone started looking into the term “fool-proof suffocation” after reading Baez’s book. Pipitone’s reporting detailed that the Orange County Sheriff’s Office hadn’t looked at all the searches on the Anthony family computer.

Baez is a guest on ”Dr. Drew on Call” at 9 p.m. Monday (tonight) on HLN.
