Excerpt:
Also on Wednesday, The Florida Bar told the Orlando Sentinel that defense attorney Jose Baez is the target of an investigation related to the probation issue.
....
During the hearing earlier this month, Perry asked the defense team if they knew Anthony was serving her probation in jail, which was against Strickland's order. Fryer admitted they did.
Perry again took up that issue in his latest order directing Anthony to report to probation, saying that, "the failure to abide by that order and the failure to notify the court of a known scrivener's error in the order may be a violation of an attorney's duty of candor."
"No attorney should conduct himself or herself in a way that impedes an order of the court. ... Our system of justice should never be in the position of rewarding someone who willfully hides the ball."
The Florida Bar told the Sentinel that it has an open probe into Baez — Anthony's lead defense attorney — related to him knowing about Anthony serving her probation, but not alerting the court that the Department of Corrections was not following the judge's order.
A Bar spokeswoman said no other information about the investigation is public.
