Bobbi Brown was back in Atlanta today after a weekend concert he did out of town, to reunite with the Browns and Houstons as they stand vigil over Bobbi Kristina who is in end stage hospice care. Meanwhile, Nick Gordon is drinking in Florida while his attorney empanels a legal team to fight his upcoming legal battles. The same day that Bobbi Kristina was moved into the hospice facility, Krissi’s conservator filed a civil lawsuit on her behalf against Nick Gordon claiming that Nick was physically abusive to Bobbi and asking for more than $40 million in damages. Interestingly, that award would ultimately most likely go to Bobby Brown as Krissi’s next of kin.
But today, Nick’s attorney added some new people to the team that make me feel like he knows that criminal charges either have or are about to be filed against Nick. Namely the hiring of Jose Baez.
According to an EXCLUSIVE on Entertainment Tonight:
Sources close to Gordon’s legal team tell ET that Atlanta criminal defense attorney Joe Habachy, Gordon’s lead lawyer, is preparing to bring in famous attorney Jose Baez — who’s best-known for serving as the lead defense attorney for Casey Anthony. Anthony was found not guilty of the first degree murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony, in 2011.
Another person being brought onto the team is TJ Ward, one of the private investigators who worked on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, an American teenager who went missing in Aruba while on a high school graduation trip in 2005.
So he needs Jose Baez? To me that makes him look guilty. And where is he getting the money to pay for such an A list legal team? And what is the private investigator going to do for him?
OH FFS!! I was hoping to NEVER hear/see that guy’s name ever again! If you hire Jose Baez, you are GUILTY!
Does Mr. Baez even practice in Georgia?
he can as long as the Georgia lawyer signs off on him.

That’s the first thing I thought too T, where the hell is he getting the $ for these lawyers?? Jose Baez is most likely doing it pro bono for the publicity..
Definitely agree!
Yes TT where is he getting the $$$ from??? He is definitely guilty of something or he wouldn’t need such a top heavy team…but again…where is he getting the money from???
And, the first thing I think every time I see that pic of nick holding Bobbi like that, is HOW THE HELL DID THEY STAGE THAT PIC?!?
That’s a fitting duo. And Baez is not a good attorney. He violated many tenets but he got to say a big FY when he won anyway. He promised in opening statements what he didn’t deliver at the trial because there was no evidence (That the father molested her) and on and on. He was investigated by the Bar I believe. But all that matters is what the jury thinks and it’s proven over and over they are often morons.
Missyrocks5,
I have to disagree about Baez not being a good attorney. I had a lot of time on my hands and followed that case very closely, even made to the courthouse a couple of times.
The Anthony trial was his first murder case, so it was fair to expect some missteps from him. What I was not expecting was a very exacting judge who obviously had made up his mind before the trial began. In speaking with some of the jurors personally, three of them who did not speak to the press stated that they could not find Casey Anthony guilty because No Cause of Death was ever established by the coroner who nevertheless declared manner of death.
The obvious thing in that trial is that everyone was lying, but the burden of proof was on the prosecution. Jose Baez learned from that trial and has improved at reading judges, hopefully.
Gah, this story is just so sad. BC was hurt by every single person that should have protected her: her mother, her father, her “husband.” She never had a chance.
I realize that I said almost the same thing as you. I should read comments before commenting. You said it better though.
@ Tamara – He is likely getting the money from that ring that originally belonged to WH ….it was worth about 250K …. I recall you bringing that ring up on the other thread……we both noticed how Nick had a very sober moment during the Dr Phil interview – i.e. the moment he inquired about the ring.
Ding ding ding! 2can is right on the money (pardon the pun) again! @2can, you have predicted with such accuracy from the very beginning, SADLY…. So tragic.
Yeah that was what I was wondering. BUT. How do you dump a hot engagement ring that belonged to WHITNEY HOUSTON? I mean what is he gonna do, pawn it? I can’t see him wandering in to an upscale jeweler trying to sell it.

Tamara, thanks for keeping us updated on everything. Happy (belated?) Birthday; hope you are well.
@Tamara I think he did that long ago….waaaaay before anyone would have been checking for it. Plus it is 10 carrot ring so it could be used to create several different rings or an entirely different looking ring with a modified setting…but yeah …someone would buy it… because of the quality …
@ I.Just.Can’t – thanks for the kudos! 🙂
oops should have been 10 carat 🙂 … I must be hungry because I typed carrot 🙂
@2can, I was thinking same thing & bet his mom helped him do it. Do you remember where she popped up from? Like what state was she living in before? I was thinking during Dr. Phil that she probably had already “taken care” of that for him….
@I.Just.Can’t. – she was living in Florida….he is now in Florida staying with her. But to your point, I certainly do feel that the deed was already done by the time the show taped, as his Mother seemed a bit uncomfortable discussing the ring on camera, and if she still had it, why be uncomfortable discussing it.
@2can, oh yeah, Florida…. Because, CRS! Makes sense that’s where he is now. I’m evidently too tired to be commenting. But, yes… Good point about her being uncomfortable during that exchange on Dr. Phil. Whole thing is really bad lifetime movie in the making. So sad.
Thats why he’s being sued…he has probably STOLE a lot of things. Mother is definitely helping him….He was an opportunist from the very beginning..Conned Whitney and Kristina because they were in a medicated fog…
or maybe a better description is sociopath!!!…smh
I couldn’t find the lawsuit on line to read, but you’d think the Brown’s and Houston’s would have DEMANDED the return of that very valuable ring in the lawsuit. That’s as close as they’ll come to getting any serious money out of Nick. It’s also terribly ironic to think Nick would be funding his defense against the estate of Bobby Kristina with funds from the illegal sale of property belonging to the estate of Bobbi Kristina.
I think that Baez has had some recent legal problems. Maybe Nick is going for attorney fees and some money. It appeared they lived a well-off drugy life. Maybe Nick is going for bad stuff on Bobbi Kriss? That might be a small pay-off. After all, everything since she was admitted to the hospital has been a little “whack.” All the family maneuverings, Dr. Phil, the latest financial deal between Bobby Brown and the Hustons, and now hospice. Really tragic.
Anyone buying a designer bag, shoes, or jewelry on eBay, coming from Florida, is probably buying Miss Brown’s stuff.
So sad on all accounts…There are no winners in this tragedy…
I just think of that young woman with her wonderful smile, and it really makes me kind of sad. I don’t think she ever stood a chance. I hope there is some justice for her.
I agree, she was cute, sassy. The cards were decked against her. So sad.
Maybe he gave the ring to the lawyers as a “retainer fee”….. i dont know if Nick abused her or not but i know the pain of bereavement, she was self medicating and Nick was there to hold her. Where the eff was everybody else??? Pat putting her on reality TV made me see that the Houstons is no better than the Browns.
Trash, sissy her sons who started whitney on drugs, her trying to
Hide in church. Sorry but true let’s bury all this trash
I thought Jose Baez worked for publicity, not actual cash.
Publicity doesn’t pay for those suits. This is not a televised trial. It’s not worth the headache for a few HLN appearances with Nancy Grace. He’s not cheap.

If Nick Gordon faces criminal charges, Mr. Baez has to deal with a victim who talked, tweeted, and used social media 24/7; a victim who hasn’t been stashed in the Florida woods; a victim who received excellent medical attention immediately; potential witnesses/ accomplices to anything shady or criminal; and families united in their demands for prosecution. Mr. Baez will earn his money. Very messy!
Well, NG should only hope he sucks peen as well as Casey Anthony! I have always believed that’s the only reason why JB worked so tirelessly on that case in 2011. He was virtually unknown & she was & is a narcissistic, murderous, spoiled, entitled, lying, hell bound, cum guzzling, douche nozzle, serpent, maggot mouth whore! OMG, I still despise that tramp. Just send Bobby B’s boys from Boston down to FL to have a “dark alley meeting” w/NG’s bitch ass!
But if the Browns win the case, they aren’t going to see a dime. Isn’t that why OJ ended up moving to Florida? They don’t garnish wages or something? ( I know I could look that up online but I’m feeling lazy.)
As long as OJ was living in Florida, the Browns (bad luck last name?) and the Goldman’s could not touch OJ’s $25,000 a month pension, but they were able to attache any profits from his book, “If I Did It”.
So he’s drinking again already?
Baez billed the state of FL and Orange Co $100,000 for his work for Casey when she claimed indigence.. He will bill GA as well.
That’s the word on the street, drinking again – and probably drugging too. He’s been video taped lounging around the pool and hot tub at the gated community where he lives with his mother. Now we might all ask, where did he and his mom get the money for a gated community? What does she do for a living, since we know he does nothing? Did Dr. Phil pay Nick & mommy for that train wreck of an interview?
Carrion feeders all around. Gruesome. Pathetic. Evil.
