Another One Bites The Dust
Monday, August 16, 2010 at 8:13AM "With regret, I am forced to resign as George and Cindy Anthony's attorney. The defense motion filed on Aug. 9, 2010, contains allegations that are not, in fact, true. As an officer of the court, I cannot stand idly by knowing allegations involving me have been misstated. I am now a witness to an inaccurate legal pleading filed in our court system. As such, I cannot continue in good conscience as a legal representative. George and Cindy Anthony have done nothing improper, it is the failure of the defense to verify the facts alleged in their motion that forces my withdrawal. I will continue to support the Anthonys, will continue to attend hearings and the eventual trial, and most importantly, I will continue to search for the full truth regarding the killing of Caylee Marie Anthony."
- Brad Conway wrote in his letter of resignation
George and Cindy Anthony's attorney, Brad Conway, will no longer represent them. The move is a result of a motion filed by Jose Baez & Company in the never ending dispute with Texas EquuSearch.
First reported on the WESH-TV Web site, Conway appeared on the NBC Today Show to make his announcement. Regrettably, he said, he had to withdraw as the attorney for Casey's parents. On the network program, he claimed that the defense made false claims and he denied that he was granted full access to TES files. There were several misrepresentations, he added. He said he was given the same treatment as Baez and Cheney Mason regarding the roughly 4,000 pages of documents from TES volunteer searchers. Now, he feels he may be called as a witness for the defense.
Brad Conway has been a good friend and trusted counsel to George and Cindy. I've had several talks with him and he's an all-around good guy. I understand the defense fighting for their client, but this is one more glitch in the case. This team of attorneys has taken out one of the best judges in the Ninth Circuit Court, and now, Brad Conway. Believe me, I know precisely how they sting.
There is much bad blood between the defense and Mark Nejame. To try to put things in some sort of perspective, New York City is big enough to handle lots of high-powered attorneys. Orlando is not. While Jose Baez is way out of their league, Cheney Mason and Mark NeJame are, next to John Morgan, two of the most powerful attorneys in this citified town we call Orlando. I am beginning to think there isn't enough room for both of them, and neither one is going to budge. Shades of Tombstone, this one may turn out to be a verbal gunfight in the courtroom. Call it the O'Casey Corral. Unfortunately, Brad Conway just got caught in the crossfire, and the bullets haven't even begun to fly yet. Who's next?

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. It has been a fun day already.
With all the attorneys dropping off the Anthony band wagon, wonder who will be left when the trail starts in May? I am sure that Mr. Biaz will not be sitting there alone but it does make one wonder what will happen.
What did everyone think of Baez and Mason's press conference. To me Baez always has that look of arrogance which brings out the worst in me as it makes me want to do something to wipe that self satisfied look off his face. Nasty thoughts I know but he is definately not someone who draws people to him.
I'm fairly new here but let me not be the last to say Happy Birthday Peggy222.
You are not new Pepper, you are just as new as everyone here. Thank you for the birthday wishes.
[HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PEGGY!!! I didn't know.]
Thanks Peggy222. My problem is that by the time the others come online it is already my bed time as we are 6 hours ahead of you. Of course first thing in the morning I read all the comments but can't always participate. I promised myself that today I would stay up late to join in but already my eyes are getting heavy. Maybe its time for some more coffee.
Stpetesmj, Happy Birthday to you too. Being Leo's we get to rule :D
St[petesmj~~I hope you are having a nice Birthday, my friend. Birthday hug for you!! Peg, I left your BD wish in MO.
Thanks Snoopy, I read it and replied. I am having a nice b/d. BTW, thanks for helping our MJ and I on how to put a link here. And also for helping the person that was having problems with the blog and did not want to stay.
Thank you everyone for the Birthday greetings..ya' all so damn sweet!
Just got home from work...late again, so we're eating late. I really have to read the analysis of Cindy's letter and come back later. Hugs to all you well wishers. The B&D comments was too funny! My Mom gave me a pink tool kit once!

I have had more than my share of blond moments since blowing out the candles this year...whew, think I blew out a couple brain cells as well. I actually thought when you logged in you were in for the day. Kinda like a Disney World Pass, I guess....compliments to you Dave. Dave's Blog World Pass (LOL)!
Man O MANISCHEWITZ! That WAS some statement analysis...And Opinion. Well put too.
Just don't disagree with Cindy for cryin' out loud or you are under the bus. (Watch out Mr. Conway). We all pretty much saw Cindy's lies and were flabergasted as much as Casey's friends said they saw her's and yet they weren't. I do think it was just a matter of time and Casey would have had to find another set of friends, as she did with this last group, if Cindy hadn't got all bent out of shape with her because she realized she was losing control over Casey and had that neck-choking argument. Good Lord, that woman is despicable how she writes about people.
Hey Dave,
For some reason my posts are not showing up on this blog. I got me password and then signed in but it still shows that I am an unregistered commenter. I'm feeling like a stepchild......boo hoo......
[Carole - e-mail me your password and I'll try to fix it in the morning. I may have to reset it. Also, let me know what your login name is. I want to make sure that is correct. I'm sorry for the poblem.]
Well, let's see if this works now.
Hip Hip Hooray!!! I am no longer a step-child!
