"Sacramento bounty hunter Leonard Padilla said he plans to sue Casey Anthony and her attorney, Jose Baez, for $200,000.\"Not only did he mislead us, they conned us. And, he did a good job,\" Padilla said to KCRA.Padilla said Anthony's attorney accepted an offer by Padilla to fly to Florida and to search for Casey Anthony's daughter in 2008. He contends that both Anthony and her attorney knew at that time that Caylee was dead.\"Jose Baez said during the trial's opening statement and in his closing that they knew all along she was never lost,\" said Padilla.Padilla said he will file his civil lawsuit within two weeks.Padilla is seeking to recover $200,000 in personal expenses.Sacramento criminal defense expert, Johnny Griffin, said Padilla's claim may have legal merit. However, he added that Padilla will need more evidence than the words of Casey Anthony's attorney.\"Casey Anthony never testified at trial. So, he needs to prove that she lied to him,\" said Griffin.Griffin also said that Baez could countersue Padilla claiming that he made more money inserting himself into the Casey Anthony story than it cost him to travel to Florida."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
