Colorful character of Jose Baez, Casey Anthony defense attorney

Known now as the 'luckiest man in America', Jose Baez comes across as a unique character with an eventful past and no particularly impressive credential as a legal eagle.

According to reports, Baez had struggled in his legal profession, had been barred from practicing for eight years and had worked as a bikini salesman when he was out of practice.

It also emerged that Casey Anthony picked him as her defense lawyer in spite of his poor record and against the advise of family and friends. It was alleged that Baez had accepted the role as he was in pursuit of fame. During the Casey Anthony murder trial, Baez was routinely criticized and sometimes ridiculed by the media for his extraordinary positions in the case and strange court demeanor. had said that Baez had "a lack of respect for the rights of others and a total lack of respect for the legal system, which is absolutely inconsistent with the character and fitness qualities required of those seeking to be afforded the highest position of trust and confidence recognized by our system of law."

For someone who was blasted like this in the past, the turnaround is not just dramatic, but miraculous. "He's a guy with a colourful and complicated past and a very confusing present," law professor Robert Jarvis had told ABC News.

It emerged that prior to the Casey Anthony trial he had defended a man accused of killing the granddaughter of a boxer. However, the accused was convicted of manslaughter, following which a motion was initiated against Baez, accusing him of inefficiency that led to the conviction of his client.

The Mail reported that the two bikini sales companies he worked for, Bon Bon Bikinis and Brazilian-Bikinis.com, are both inactive now.
For a man with such a dismal past, it would take a while for the life-transforming victory to sink in. Ironically, prosecution Attorney Jeff Ashton, who was rated higher than Baez and had many successes to his credit, was completely undone by the verdict. He said he would retire in a week.
