Casey Anthony: How serious are Jose Baez’s talks with networks?
posted by halboedeker on July, 25 2011 7:54 AM
Casey Anthony’s defense attorney Jose Baez issued a statement Friday: “Contrary to recent published reports, I am not negotiating paid interviews with anyone.”
But what is he negotiating?
The New York Post on Sunday reported that Baez “has been living like a king in New York City, eating steak dinners with Matt Lauer and sleeping at the Mandarin Oriental — while network reps jostle to sign him as a legal eagle to eventually score the big interview.”
And that interview would be with Anthony, who was acquitted July 5 of first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee. Anthony has been hidden from public view since leaving Orange County Jail a week ago.
But don’t expect to hear from Anthony soon. Baez has indicated to network representatives that Anthony isn’t likely to give an interview for six to nine months, the Post reported.
Do the networks want to do business with Baez in hopes of landing Anthony?
CBS has seemed a definite no, saying it was not licensing any materials from Anthony and it was not courting Baez to become a legal analyst.
ABC negotiated a $200,000 deal with Baez in 2008 before Anthony was charged in her daughter’s death. That deal, revealed in 2010, set off a furor over journalistic ethics and practices.
A source at that network says ABC won’t become involved in a bidding war for an Anthony interview.
NBC acknowledged that it had put up Baez in the New York hotel, but called the stay a standard booking practice. An NBC spokeswoman said, “We’ve talked with Baez about getting an interview with Casey Anthony, but only under NBC News standards and conditions — no payment and absolutely no job offers for any member of her defense team.”
Doesn’t sound as if Baez will get a job from NBC — steak dinners and a hotel room, yes, but no job.
The Casey Anthony story has given us an inside look at network practices in a way few stories have. What next will we learn?
