Jose Baez who successfully defended Casey Anthony in her murder trial, met with Aaron Hernandez a couple of days ago.
He was noncommittal at the time if he would be representing him, but today he made it official.
“I can now confirm that my firm has been retained to represent Mr. Aaron Hernandez in his upcoming trial,” Baez said in a statement.
“Mr. Hernandez strongly maintains his innocence, and I plan to establish that before a jury of his peers.”
Baez will be defending him in his upcoming double murder trial in Boston.
