ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Attorney Jose Baez says he no longer
represents Casey Anthony, the Florida mother whose 2011 murder
trial made him one of the best known criminal defense lawyers in
the country.

In a statement Wednesday, Baez says he has withdrawn from the
Anthony case and must attend to the needs of his other clients.

Since the Anthony trial, Baez has taken on as a client Gary
Giordano, an American businessman suspected in the presumed death of his traveling companion in Aruba. Baez also has been giving
speeches and offering television commentary.

Anthony was acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee
last July. She is serving probation on an unrelated charge, and has
appealed convictions on four counts of lying to authorities.

Baez says Anthony isn't fielding offers to sell her story.
