Jose Baez says Casey Anthony is 'Girl next door'

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — As the release date of his new book approaches, Casey Anthony's former attorney, Jose Baez, spoke out about Casey.

The book, entitled "Presumed Guilty" details what it was like to defend Anthony.

Baez said he goes into great detail about getting to know Casey, including her facial expressions and conversations.

Baez gave his opinion on why Anthony has become a frenzy.

"It's probably because Casey is the girl next door," Baez said.

The book is set to be released in July, which is one year after Anthony was acquitted on murder charges.
