Then when he gets Krunk on the stand he doesn't ask him one thing about any of that stuff he said about him.
In the US it seems anyone can sue anyone for anything. If I were Krunk I would definitely consider suing that dumbass Baez guy for slander. Sorry to any lawyer types here but if you're going to trash someone in that manner in open court in front of millions of viewers you better have the evidence to back up your accusations or else.
Btw, Baez's questions annoy the hell out of me. State of mind crap, did Casey's father or brother molest her etc etc... To me NONE of that shit matters. The only thing that matters in this case that a little girl is dead, and is there negligence or murder involved on the part of the mother. That's it. If they focused on that the case would be over in a few weeks tops.

It was stated by one of the commentators that the attorneys have immunity in whatever they say during the trial and cannot be held accountable in the way you mean. This was brought up because during the opening statements Baez said that Casey learned to lie because as a girl she would have to go to school right after having her father's penis in her mouth.
Until Casey goes on the stand and testifies to that fact, it remains completely unsubstantiated and certainly destroyed George's reputation which one would think would be reason to go after Baez but he is immune.
