Report: Bobbi Kristina’s Boyfriend Hires Casey Anthony’s Defense Attorney

Whitney Houston’s family has learned of a report claiming her associate Nick Gordon has enlisted a high-profile lawyer to clean up the serious legal issues he has with her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.

Surprising news below…

Jose Baez is the high-profile lawyer  responsible for ensuring Casey Anthony was not imprisoned after she was tried for the murder of her two-year-old daughter back in 2011.

Now, Gordon is said to have called on the lawyer to take care of his legal issues after he was accused of faking his marriage to Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina and assaulting her before she entered the coma she’s remained in since the alleged attack.

Billboard adds:

Baez joins a team also including Joe Habachy and Randy Kessler, and investigator TJ Ward, who investigated the Natalee Holloway disappearance, according to People.

Baez’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Brown has been in a coma since January, when she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her home in Atlanta. Last week, Brown was move to hospice care and  her conservators filed a complaint against Brown, alleging he abused her and stole  $11,000 from her.

The Fulton County district attorney is reviewing the case.
