A Florida Bar complaint has been filed against one of Casey Anthony's attorneys for making an obscene gesture at reporters and spectators after her acquittal on murder charges.
While celebrating the jury's not guilty verdict Tuesday at an Orlando restaurant, attorney Cheney Mason gestured with his middle finger toward people gathered outside. An Associated Press photographer snapped a picture of the gesture.
In his complaint, Coral Gables attorney John B. Thompson said Mason violated Bar rules for "maintaining integrity of the profession."
The complaint says Mason's gesture in a public setting falls under the Bar's regulatory policy, which holds that actions by lawyers even in private that reflect poorly on the profession are subject to discipline. Mason was in court Thursday and not available for comment. ----------------------------------------------
