Casey Anthony Attorney Jose Baez: Public Doesn't Fully Understand the Case (VIDEO)
Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez said Thursday on 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated on ABC) that he doesn't think the general public understands Anthony or the trial, and that he fears for Anthony's safety in the wake of the "not guilty" verdict. Baez spoke with Barbara Walters in a sit-down interview segment.Walters asked Baez if he was worried about Anthony's safety in light of the public antagonism against her. "I am," he said. "I'm afraid for her. I don't think it's fair. I don't think the general public has a real good grasp of what happened in this case."
Baez believes the public rushed to judgment in the case, and described that in the context of a broader societal habit of judging people too harshly without understanding their point of view or the life they've led. "I think when people start judging people that way, I think it's a bit unfair," he said. "People grieve in many different ways, and people respond to trauma in various ways."
