The website reported that Ashton sent out a mass email asking for donations. One of the emails went to Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's former attorney.

In the email, Ashton wrote quote, "Dear Jose, after 30 years as a prosecutor, I decided to retire and run for State Attorney because I saw an office in shambles. I need your help to turn around the State Attorney's Office and make it a place where lawyers, business people and the community know justice is served."

Ashton also asks Baez to donate between $50 and $500 in the email, according to the report.

Sources told TMZ that Baez will not give any money to Ashton's campaign.
