Casey Anthony's Lawyer Denies Claims She Paid Him With Sex

Casey Anthony's former attorney Tuesday strongly denied accusations that she paid him with sexual favors for defending her against charges that she had killed her daughter, along with several other claims, and called his former investigator a "complete and total moron" for making the statements.

"One, 'El Chapo' did not finance Casey Anthony's defense," the attorney, Jose Baez, told Fox News' "Fox and Friends," referencing another claim that had been made by investigator Dominic Casey. "Two, I did not have an inappropriate relationship with Casey. Three, drug traffickers did not kidnap Caylee and take her to Colombia. Four, she never told me that she murdered her child and where the body was. And five, the post office is not involved in Caylee Anthony's disappearance."

Casey, who worked for Anthony's legal team after her daughter, 2-year-old Caylee, went missing, made the claims in recently-released court documents in the Florida woman's bankruptcy case. Casey also told the court that Baez told him Anthony had killed her daughter and dumped the body.

The toddler's remains were found in December 2008, and a jury found her mother guilty of lying in July 2011 but innocent of murder. 

Baez said Tuesday that Casey's claims were far different than his sworn deposition in the murder trial, and he'll be in trouble over them.

"He'd better pray to the God of punk wannabe private eyes that some U.S. attorney in Tampa does not see these transcripts and decides to charge him with perjury," said Baez, who confirmed that he plans to seek legal action against Casey.

Casey had also claimed that he arrived at Baez's office one day and saw a naked Anthony running from Baez's private office, and told her later that she could not allow him to continue such behavior, and she responded that she "had to do what Jose said because she had no money for her defense."

Baez said it was a mistake to hire Casey as his private investigator, but he "took a chance on him, and unfortunately I'm paying for it today. Casey worked for free for three years for Anthony's legal team and separately for her family.
