Casey Anthony: Geraldo Rivera says he won’t play himself in Lifetime movie

I was a guest Friday morning on Geraldo Rivera’s WABC radio show.

The topic was the document release in the George Zimmerman case, but the discussion turned to Casey Anthony and Jose Baez. I told Rivera that I was surprised he didn’t have the first interview with defense attorney Baez, who has written ”Presumed Guilty,” an upcoming book about the Anthony case.

I told Rivera that I didn’t think Baez did a good job promoting the book in an interview on HLN’s “Dr. Drew.” Baez needed to supply specifics to get people talking about the book.

Rivera revealed that he had been asked to play himself in the Lifetime movie based on former prosecutor Jeff Ashton’s book, “Imperfect Justice.” But Rivera said he had passed.

And that’s a shame: Rob Lowe will play Ashton, but only Geraldo can play Geraldo.
