Casey Anthony Automatic Appeal Because Of Attorney's Mistakes?

If Casey Anthony is found guilty of capital murder and given the death penalty by a jury, there will be at least 10 different appeals available to her before the sentence is carried out. However, I am beginning to think that the first appeal she will make will be one where her attorney Jose Baez is accused of legal incompetence. If successful, that appeal could grant Casey Anthony a new trial and then all of this mess would be repeated somewhere down the road.

In recent days, Jose Baez has been scolded by the judge for trickery and with these on-the-record warnings to Baez, it is likely that Casey Anthony will be guaranteed a new trial at some point during the appeals process. After watching Jose Baez in the Casey Anthony trial, I believe there should be some rule that does not allow a neophyte like Baez to show up at a high profile trial and use it as a learning experience.
