Former Casey Anthony attorney representing girl in cyberbullying-suicide case

POLK COUNTY, Fla. — Casey Anthony's former lawyer, Jose Baez, is now representing a 12-year-old girl accused of cyberbullying a classmate who went on to commit suicide.

Katelyn Roman and Guadalupe Shaw were both arrested for aggravated stalking after 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick killed herself.

Baez is representing Roman.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said both Roman and Shaw admitted to bullying Sedwick for more than a year before she jumped to her death last month from the top of an abandoned concrete plant.
