Jose Baez, others rip George Zimmerman's ex-attorneys

By Hal Boedeker Wed Apr 11 2012 3:35 AM George Zimmerman's former attorneys were getting nasty reviews for their performance at a strange news conference Tuesday.

Even Jose Baez, who represented Casey Anthony, castigated lawyers Hal Uhrig and Craig Sonner.

"It's unbelievable that you would get on television and talk about your client's mental state," Baez told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "It's reprehensible."

Attorney Mark Geragos, another guest on "Anderson Cooper 360," asked Baez: "Jose, what do they have in the water down there in Florida? I don't understand what they're doing. This is just absolutely the worst thing I think I can remember seeing any lawyer do in regards to their client. I thought some of the previous interviews were train wrecks. Those things were toy cars compared to what this is."

Geragos compared the lawyers' news conference to a "Saturday Night Live" skit, and Baez seconded that view.

Former prosecutor Sunny Hostin agreed with Geragos and Baez. "I've never seen anything like this," she said.

This case gets more bizarre each day.Why would these two attorneys do this? They were only working pro bono until he was charged.

I think the attorney's entire motivation can be summed up with three letters, C Y A.

In my opinion, they believe that Zimmerman is a flight risk (or worse) and they want it clear that if he does run they have no complicity in that flight.

They're expecting George to boogie and they want no complicity when that happens.

It was a bizarre presser. Two lawyers quitting and making the client look like a pitiful figure. Trayvon is dead. What else is there?
