Casey Anthony’s lawyer Jose Baez is reportedly at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City, holding meetings with all of the major TV networks. NBC, ABC and CBS are all competing for the first interview with the accused child murderer, and you can bet HUGE dollar amounts are involved. Sources connected with the negotiations say there is a ” big price tag .” The networks don’t technically pay for interviews, however, they can offer to license photos and other material and pay whatever amount Baez asks. NBC, which is paying for Baez’s hotel room, looks like the frontrunner, but ABC is in the game, while CBS “is a distant third” to land the sit-down. Baez spent part of last night in the hotel bar with famed lawyer Mark Geragos, whose clients include or included Michael Jackson, Susan McDougal (Whitewater), Greg Anderson (BALCO), Winona Ryder, Scott Peterson and Chris Brown . Geragos, who is well-versed in high-profile cases and tricky negotiations such as this, reportedly gave Baez some advice in reaching a deal. Whether or not Casey Anthony is back in Florida already, it looks like she’ll only be in hiding – and flat broke – for so long.
