A former lawyer for Casey Anthony, the Florida woman acquitted in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, said he may sue over claims levied by a former private investigator.

In an affidavit filed in her bankruptcy case in April, Anthony’s former private investigator, Dominic Casey, claimed that lawyer Jose Baez and Anthony were allegedly involved in an improper relationship before the case went public. In the documents, which went public this week, the private investigator also alleged Baez told him that Anthony “had murdered Caylee and dumped the body,” reported the Miami Herald.
