WESH-Channel 2 gave Brad Conway, former attorney for George and Cindy Anthony, a prominent place in the news tonight.
First, Conway popped up in a WESH recap of the Casey Anthony case over the past year. Conway was a surprising presence. He played analyst and wondered what happened to all the money in Anthony’s defense fund. Why was he there?
We soon found out. Bob Kealing returned with a separate report on Conway, who took on a new, high-profile client last week. Anchor Martha Sugalski billed the Conway interview as an exclusive.
That client is the wife of the bipolar man, Clay Duke, who shot a gun at a Panama City school board meeting before he took his own life.
Conway told Kealing that Rebecca Duke “had no idea that her husband was going to do such a heinous thing. Rebecca Duke is accused of no crime, but people are scorning her because of her husband’s actions, Conway said.
Conway “plans on continuing to be her go-between the police and the media,” Kealing reported.
Conway described his role as advisory — similar to how he worked for George and Cindy Anthony, the parents of Casey Anthony. Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.
