Casey Anthony's defense lawyer tells TMZ ... his team popped bubbly and raised their glasses after the not-guilty verdict because "We have a long-standing tradition; we toast to the Constitution."
TMZ spoke with Cheney Mason -- the guy with the beard -- who tells us his team decided to hit the Terrace 360 restaurant across the street from the courthouse Tuesday because, "We were celebrating saving Casey Anthony's life."
Mason also defended his use of his now infamous middle finger salute
that day -- telling us it was directed at a "guy from a radio station
who has been stalking my team for months."
Cheney says, "He was yelling at the ladies on my team, 'Are you on your period?' and he was also calling them 'baby killers.'"
"This guy was outside and pounding on the glass and I flipped the son-of-a-bitch off, and I'll do it again!"
Cheney states -- "It was an expression of my first amendment right."

Didn't F. Lee do a guest spot on Star Trek? Let's be real here, you aren't really famous unless you do a guest spot on Star Trek.
Err . . . how about Simpsons?
Tee hee

Two wrongs don't make a right.
The EDUCATED LAWYER SHOULD HAVE USED RESTRAIN and raising the finger is SO "LOW LIFE"

Carter: If you're talking about old-school Star Trek, it was Melvin Beli not F Lee. I don't know if FLB was on STNG or any of the other later versions.

There are more sour grapes on this board than there are at a NASCAR race won by Juan Pablo Montoya.

Idiot thinks he's Abraham Lincoln and tells quaint little BS stories during the trial. And then he lies, just like all the paid liars.

@ CarterS --
Ooooopsie! I just remember the big draped thing with the little head on top (should probably look up that episode).
Anyway, I know I am too old school. To be really famous you should be on The Simpsons as I have been instructed by my kids.

Most of the people on this board hate Jose Baez because they consider him a wet-back.
HumanNature
Jose Baez is NOT a wet back!!!!
He was born in Puerto Rico, an American Citizen!!!
PLEASE STOP INSULTING THIS MAN!!!

Mr Baez...my apologies, but dude is super sexy. I may have to go out and do something off the hook just to get defended by him. Hey Hose or Jose, whatever your dam$ name is...COME HERE!

Wow......go Alyssa, with your imbecile comments.....you cannot even spell. I live far away from Florida, but still have paid a little attention to this case ever since its started......I have been engrossed in this whole case from Day 1......how could the jury even have gone through all the paperwork from the TRIAL in 11 hours......there was a holiday coming up and they didn't want to miss it, so they made a quick decision......too bad it was the wrong one. And after the defense team acted the way they did after the verdict, who are they to say that they are going to after the prosecution team for their so-called unethical actions (for example......jeff ashton laughing during closing arguments).......when this idiot Cheney Mason does the same thing as the kid did in the courtroom who got 6 days and a hefty fine. You'd think when you are as old as him, you would have learned a little tiny bit of class by now :( WOW.....losers..........and, RIP little Caylee.......there are many, many people in this world that will never forget you, little one ........
