Despite the rumors, Baez made it clear that he did not engage in any business with the family.

The lawyer denied speaking to the couple or their son himself before adding, "Therefore, I do not represent him or anyone else related to the case."

He also said that Brian's casework makes it very unlikely for him to take them on as clients, "given its current complexities."
