Casey Anthony Lawyer Negotiates ($$$) w/ Networks

7/22/2011 10:41 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

Jose Baez -- Casey Anthony's lawyer -- is holed up at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City, holding court with all of the major networks -- to determine who will score the first interview with Casey -- and big bucks are involved.

Sources tell TMZ ... NBC, ABC and CBS are all competing for the first interview. Sources connected with the negotiations tell TMZ there is a "big price tag" for the interview. We're told the networks -- which say they don't pay for interviews -- are offering to license photos and other material and pay big bucks ... that's S.O.P. in the network game.

We're told NBC looks like the frontrunner so far, but ABC is in the game. We're told CBS "is a distant third." We're told NBC is paying for Baez' hotel room.

Baez spent part of the night Thursday in the Mandarin Oriental bar with famed lawyer Mark Geragos (right) -- who knows a thing or two about high-profile cases. We're told Geragos gave Baez pointers on negotiating the deal.

Why would anyone watch her. Nothing but lies, lies and more lies.

dlemond · 07-26-2011, 04:50 PM

Do they choke people during interviews now?

Otherwise, I'm not watching.

catlover79 · 07-26-2011, 08:30 PM

Whichever network is stupid enough to end up with this interview better hire plenty of security for all the protestors bound to show up!!!!!

comedyfreak · 07-27-2011, 05:59 AM

I'm not going to watch and I hope whichever network picks up the interview gets swarmed with protestors.

Everyone please boycott anything that Casey Anthony or Jose Baez profits from. Personally I wish they'd both fall off the face of the earth!

Family Ties Forever! · 07-27-2011, 09:13 AM

I can't believe they would want to give Casey Anthony or her lawyer money. They shouldn't profit from such a horrible tragedy.

old grouch · 07-27-2011, 09:32 AM

We may not watch, but unfortunately there are a lot of people who will.

Those networks could already be getting hate mail and boycott threats. Also interviews won't help Casey's image. Florida has a law that makes all records from law enforcement investigations public records. All of the interviews that the police did with Casey's friends, relatives and others involved in the case are online in either transcript or audio forms. There was a lot of things about Casey that weren't brought up in trial. She had a long history of lying and stealing.

There could be a riot of epic proportions. I wouldn't be surprised if SWAT teams are called in when/if this interview comes to be.

We sure are swirling down the old crapper in this country.
