A rep for Casey Anthony's attorney Jose Baez said a planned book from Anthony's ex-fiance Jesse Grund is just a ploy to make money off the tragic situation.

Grund, who was with Casey from January 2006 until June 2006, has been shopping around a book proposal that would shed new insider insights on America's most notorious mom, according to Tuesday’s New York Post.

Baez's rep said Grund has been anxious to hop in the limelight of the most-watched legal case in years.

“I found Mr. Grund to be very interested in serving himself ... prosecutors told me that Jesse was upset that he wasn’t called as a witness," the rep told the paper. “He was adamant about being called in to be a bigger part of the case.

"Jesse Grund and [his father] Richard have traveled to New York more than any other group to do interviews, and I would say the same about George and Cindy Anthony."

The rep said, “There have been many witnesses trying to exploit the situation; this is nothing new.

“People are more concerned with making money than anything else.”

In the book pitch, Grund claims he knows "what events in her life have molded her into the vilified Casey Anthony.

“The story played out," he wrote, "has a deeper, darker unknown element to it.”

Jesse is trying to profit from the tragedy?????? Uh.......I believe it is Casey who is trying to profit from the tragedy. Isn't she the one announcing some outrageous fee to interview her?? So she's the only one entitled to make $$$ off of this?

I saw Jesse on a show saying that he and Casey were watching a movie & Cindy Anthony comes in & asks Casey when SHE was going to pay her back for hospital bill for having Caylee & asked Jesse why he wanted to marry the high school drop out Casey.

Yes, he said this, but his judgement of Casey was that she was great. A little scary if you ask me.

Jesse seems to be a stand up guy. Poor guy claims to not even be able to get a decent job b/c of his connection to the case. He truly loved Caylee, he should be able to tell his story & how this affected his life.

Baez & Cheney Mason didn't get the big pay day they were hoping for. So now they're stuck with a murdering client they, so far, can't make any big money off of. I'll probably buy the boyfriend's book just to spite them.

I agree, they are just worried about their own pockets....they want first crack at any deals.
