Accused and acquitted murderer Casey Anthony was let off the hook in July, after Prosecutors couldn’t prove their murder case against her. But, boy did she rack up a bill!

The bills for the investigation and trial are coming in and the total is a whopping $700,000! Holy crap! She should’ve just told the truth and it wouldn’t have gotten that bad…but holy cow. After lying to cops, police had to search and search for Casey’s missing daughter, Caylee.

She was found not guilty of murder or manslaughter, but was found guilty on four counts of lying to police officers. So, as a result, she has to pay the State back for the cost of all of their investigations.

Radar Online has more:

Meanwhile, taxpayers are footing a hefty bill — the breakdown of costs is:

$293,123 – Orange County Sheriff’s Office – costs of criminial investigation from when Casey’s mom, Cindy Anthony reported Caylee missing to when her remains were found in December of that same year.

$186,903 – Jury expenses – selection, hotel, meals for 12 jurors and five alternate jurors for seven-week trial.

$91,000 – Prosecution expenses – expert witnesses, lab tests

$119,000 – Defense expenses – requested by Casey’s lawyer after she was declared indigent and unable to pay.

Grand total: $690,026

The taxpayers should NOT be burdened with this mess. It’s not their fault that Casey lied to the cops or even worse, that she could’ve murdered her own flesh and blood. If I were a Florida resident, I would be miffed — and rightfully so.

What do you think?

If you’ve seen the photos of a reported Casey Anthony on TMZ, strolling into an Old Navy store and perusing their selections, Mark Geragos wants you to know that the photos are fake, fake, fake!

TMZ dropped the bombshell two days ago that Casey was somewhere doing her favorite thing in Ohio. They’ve shown their “FIRST PICS” of the accused murderer while she was shopping. Famed attorney Mark Geragos is calling BS on the shots, saying that he knows for a fact that the woman in the pictures is NOT Casey.

Mark is an acquaintance of Casey’s lead attorney, Jose Baez, and he said on Dr. Drew’s HLN TV show Wednesday night that the pictures that were taken “weren’t her.”

A source close to the situation said, “Mark has firsthand knowledge of the situation, and says those pictures of Casey are fake. He won’t reveal how he knows this information, or who the woman in the pictures truly is.”

So the only logical explanation is that he knows the photos aren’t of her, because she’s either not in Ohio or he knows exactly where she is — or both.

What do you think?

Casey Anthony’s lawyer, Jose Baez, appeared on Today to talk about why his client can’t make the trek back to Florida. She was ordered to return to court there for probation involving writing bad checks, but Jose says that she could be in danger if she returns.

He said, “The last thing we wanna do is put Casey in harm’s way.”

He went on to reveal, “We have an issue of safety”, but did not reveal any specific threat. Perhaps vigilante justice? There were protesters outside of the jail in Pinellas County when she was released.

Judge Stan Strickland ordered Casey to return to Orlando to begin probation for check fraud and gave her three days to return. The Judge has since recused himself from the case. Suspicious?!?

Does anything about this sound shady to you? And why are the paparazzi following Casey Anthony around like she’s some freaking celebrity? I have to wonder why TMZ paid for those photos of her supposedly shopping in Ohio. Who cares? She’s not a celebrity and if we print photos like those, it’ll give the snappers cause to continue following her around.

STOP THE MADNESS.

Accused murderer Casey Anthony won’t be doing any million dollar deals with any networks just yet, because she needs time to heal and get some counseling!

Even though her lawyer, Jose Baez, has been courting the media for that huge, first post-jail interview, we’ve learned that Casey wants to wait. She is putting the brakes on any interview with ABC, NBC or CBS for a couple of months so that she can seek professional treatment for her mental issues.

TMZ.com reports that she realizes that her behavior (not notifying the police that her daughter was missing for OVER a month) stems from “obvious mental health issues.”

In addition to that, she says that she needs help dealing with the “obvious trauma of losing her child.”

Lastly, Casey needs help dealing with the fact that she was locked up in jail for three years, as a result of the murder charges she faced. A source said that “it messed with her head.”

I’ll bet it did. When you’re sitting all alone in a jail cell and you don’t have anything else to do but think about how your daughter passed away needlessly, I can imagine that it would mess with your head. Consider the fact that she’s obviously had something to do with it….

I hope she isn’t able to profit from this senseless tragedy in ANY way when she’s “healthy”. Wouldn’t you agree?

Yesterday, we brought you the news that an eBay seller by the name of Prophunter was selling a latex Casey Anthony mask. As it turns out, the mask actually sold for a whopping $999,900.00! Wow, what?!?

As of the auction’s close, there were 105 bids on the mask. We’re left wondering if that was actually a legitimate bid or if people nefariously hiked up the bidding to ensure that no one would profit from Caylee Anthony’s untimely death.

We’ve reached out to Prophunter in hopes of a response, so stay tuned…

In the meantime, other eBayers have popped up with similar items. Per one of the seller’s descriptions:

Accused murderer Casey Anthony has been laying low, after being rumored to be hiding in Carlsbad, California. Reportedly, her lawyer, Jose Baez, has been negotiating with several networks in an attempt to garner the highest bid for her first post-jail interview.

She was acquitted of murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, earlier this month — and since, she’s gone into hiding. Some of the major networks were throwing around offers for her interview — and the latest we’ve heard was an offer for $1.5 million. The networks were even clamoring to get her parents, George and Cindy Anthony, on television for the sum of $250,000 — an offer that they reportedly laughed at.

TMZ’s head honcho, Harvey Levin, took to his official Twitter account to dispense with the rumors that his company had entered into the bidding war. To avoid any confusion, he tweeted, “we reported the bidding for Casey Anthony is >$1.5 mil. they think TMZ bid on her. We did NOT, would NOT and will NOT. I think NBC got her.”

Since ABC has decided that they will no longer offer money in exchange for photo and video licensing for interviews, we figured they would be out of the equation.

Will you watch Casey Anthony profit from her little girl’s murder? Are you boycotting the network? Sound off in the comments! Let the big guys hear your voice!

Update: NBC is denying that they’ve reached out to Casey with such an offer. Surprised? No one wants that kind of backlash, do they?

This is one piece that’s guaranteed to scare the kids on Halloween! It’s a Casey Anthony “Tot Mom” Halloween mask!

The listing, currently on eBay, is going for a cool $24,501.00 with 109 bids at the time of this posting. From the item’s description:

Halloween is only a few months away. Forget Freddy, Jason, Meyers, here’s your chance to scare the *#&% out of everyone and win every costume contest with this amazing Tot Mom latex rubber mask, possibly the most frightening mask on the planet. And I can almost guarantee it’s the ‘only’ Casey mask on the planet. Sculpted to precision for a parody video by enigmatic pop artist / sculptor Torro, only 9 of these film props were made for production and I got my hands on a few after the video wrapped. One of the best Halloween masks I’ve ever seen. This one is in excellent condition and it is numbered 6 of 9. I kept one for myself because I know these will be priceless. A significant piece of crime history. No matter what your opinion of the trial is, this is still one heck of a conversation piece. I bet Nancy Grace would love one of these. Fits most heads sizes comfortably. Let’s never forget poor Caylee. Production used prop, item sold as is. Free shipping in the Cont. U.S. Feel free to ask any questions. International shipping, ask me for a price quote. Good luck.

Can you imagine the costumes, paired with some duct tape and stickers? That would be enough to scare anyone, even the adults. We’re sure that these will be more widely available before Halloween is upon us. Would you buy one? What do you think of the mask itself? Too soon?

Not only are the networks clamoring for that first post-jail interview of Casey Anthony, they’re also going after her parents — to the tune of $250,000!

We’ve learned that a talk show was laughed at after they put in the $250,000 bid for an interview with George and Cindy Anthony. We’ve also heard reports that Casey has been offered a whopping $1.5 million for her first interview.

ABC News has released a statement, saying that they won’t be paying for photos or video in exchange for interviews, so that means they’re out of the equation. Casey isn’t going to talk for free, and you can guarantee that she won’t allow anyone to ask her any hard-hitting questions.

We hope that Casey won’t stand to profit from her daughter’s death. This is not something that we would want to watch on television. Not unless someone really grills her. She cannot convince the public that she’s innocent of any wrongdoing in regard to Caylee’s death, can she?

What do you think?

There has been much speculation surrounding the location of accused murderer Casey Anthony.

She was released from jail on Sunday, and it was said that she went to visit her aunt and uncle in Columbus, Ohio. Now, we’re hearing reports that she has actually fled to Carlsbad, California.

Either way, she surely is laying low, as the public is already forming a lynch mob type attitude against her. Rightfully so, however, because the entire world thinks that she’s guilty for murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee.

People reports:

Tracking the ownership of the Pilatus PC-12 private jet that whisked Anthony, 25, out of Orlando to points unknown last Sunday morning, NBC News pointed to California attorney Todd Macaluso, who at one point had been a member of Casey’s defense team and had given her $70,000.

Macaluso’s firm maintains an office at the Palomar Airport in Carlsbad. Its private plane, says the firm’s website, “enables us to travel anywhere within the United States in seven hours.”

Is she hiding out there in hopes for a book or movie deal? We’re still on the Boycott Casey Anthony train, so we won’t go near anything she publishes to enrich herself from her daughter’s death. Will you?

Now that Casey Anthony has been acquitted of murder in the death of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, she has been released from jail on Sunday. So where does she go from here?

Upon her release, she had $537.68 in her bank account, no job, no daughter and an offer to make a million dollars. While her future is uncertain and she’s too controversial to get a book deal, she may end up richer than any one of us. If she takes the interview offer and rakes in that million, technically, is she enriching herself from her daughter’s untimely passing?

Everyone in the nation thinks she’s guilty and her innocence was never proven. The only thing that the jurors proved by giving her a not guilty verdict was that the prosecution didn’t prove their case.

Rumor has it that Casey has ventured off to Columbus, Ohio, but no one has been able to verify that as of yet. While we will not show you any paparazzi photos of Casey should she be located, we are still curious what her plans are for the future.

Obviously there are people who want to hear her story. They want to know what happened, even if she gives them some sanitized version of the truth. With regard to that, I say that she had her opportunity to speak on her own behalf at her trial and she declined. Which is what I’ll be doing when her interview goes live.

Are you boycotting Casey Anthony and her ability to make a fortune for whatever involvement she’s had in her daughter’s death? Thoughts?

Accused murderer Casey Anthony was released today, after serving time for lying to police officers. She was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges on July 5, 2011.

Casey was found guilty of four counts of lying to authorities, and received a year in prison for each offense. She has been released as of a little after midnight last night, after being escorted out of Orange County Jail in Orlando, Florida, by her attorney, Jose Baez.

Rumor has it that Casey is actually headed for Columbus, Ohio. TMZ has the scoop:

The Columbus PD tells TMZ … they have a Special Duty program, which allows people in their fine city to hire off duty cops for protection, and that’s what Casey would have to do if she wants someone to guard her from the angry mob.

We’re told, however, if there is a specific, real threat … the PD would treat her the way they would anyone else and provide appropriate protection, without cost.

Should she get protection from the police? What do you think?

Casey Anthony has been receiving monetary donations from admirers while she’s still in jail!

Since being acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges earlier this month, people have been sending Casey money. Even people in Canada are chipping in and she’s been using the funds to purchase snacks, eyeliner, spicy peanuts, nacho cheese dip, toothpaste and deodorant, among other things.

She has already earned $472.18, which is about $200.00 more than she had in her commissary on the day she was given her not guilty verdict.

One of her anonymous donors said, “I do not know Casey personally, nor am I supporting her as a person, nor am I anything like the people sending her love letters and asking her to marry them. However, what I am supporting is the jury’s decision to acquit based on lack of evidence failing to overcome the reasonable doubt standard.”

Casey is scheduled to be released from jail on Sunday, July 17th.

Last week, it was said that the Jerry Springer Show offered accused murderer Casey Anthony one million dollars for her first post-jail interview. Apparently those in charge of the show didn’t sign off on the interview offer and backed out due to the backlash and possible boycotts.

TV producer Al Taylor has come forward to say that he made the offer on their behalf. After they’d backed out, he has now created his own production company to make good on the offer. Here is the letter that he wrote to Casey’s attorneys:

This is Al Taylor. I spoke with you last Friday about the million dollar offer from The Jerry Springer Show that I made to Jose Baez. As I explained at the time, I am a freelance producer for the Jerry Springer Show and other talk shows including The Steve Wilkos Show…

It was through me that the Springer show made the verbal offer to Jose of a Million dollars for an interview with your client Casey Anthony…

It is now apparent that my freelance clients are afraid to follow through with the offers because of the public backlash and threat of boycotts. Because of that, I have now formed my own independent TV production company named Private Elevator Productions and we are officially making Jose’s law firm an offer on one million dollars for the first interview with your client Casey Anthony.

Because we are independent, we fear no media backlash and as such this offer, unlike the others will not be withdrawn. We would like to meet as soon as possible to present you with a million dollar check made out to your client Casey Marie Anthony, so we can sign a contract and conduct the interview as soon as your client exits jail.

Please respond to me as quickly as possible so we can get this done ASAP.

Sincerely,

Al Taylor

It’s sickening that this douchebucket is offering her that much money to talk about her “life story”. Where’s Caylee’s life story??? Jerk. BOYCOTT!

The Casey Anthony murder trial is over and she will be set free for time served on Sunday, July 17th. So now that the jurors have come forth with a not guilty verdict, aside from the four convictions for lying to cops, we’ve learned that there might have been some witness tampering!

Since the verdict, we’ve also learned that Casey’s mother, Cindy Anthony, won’t be charged with perjury. It was speculated that charges might be brought against her because of her claims that she searched for “chloroform” on their home computer. It was later said by her co-workers that she made the searches from her work computer instead.

According to the Orange County, Florida Sheriff’s Department, they are investigating allegations of witness tampering in the case. Officials wouldn’t name the witness, but did make sure to mention that it wasn’t Cindy.

Detective John Allen said, “In regards to where we will go, it really depends on what information we get and what people come forward to provide additional information.”

Aren’t you curious as to which witness was tampered with? Could it be Casey’s father, George? What do you think?

Casey Anthony is reportedly considering various disguises as she gets released on July 17th. A source close to her says that she is thinking about altering her appearance.

A source said, “There even have been discussions about cosmetic surgery, but Casey has rejected that out of hand. Casey really does not completely understand the depth of hatred out there.”

The source went on to reveal, “She’s fully aware of the various death threats, of course, but she thinks that’s isolated to relatively few nutcases.”

She’s also said to be leaving for a secret location where she will live. Only a few people are said to know of its location and expects to live under a new identity, which the source said is “almost as if she was living in a witness protection-like program”.

Maybe she should just move out of the country? I mean, one of the anonymous jurors in the case has already fled Florida for fear of death threats, perhaps Casey needs to completely relocate and hopefully never have children ever again.

What do you think?

Juror number twelve in the murder trial against Casey Anthony has packed up her things, quit her job and has gone into hiding!

She has not been identified in the media, except for being said to be a 60-something woman who worked at a Publix grocery store as a cook. She even felt the need to call in her resignation from her job, as opposed to telling her boss in person. She is in fear of how her co-workers and the general public will react to the shocking decision that the jury reached, freeing Casey.

The juror has received death threats and has told her husband, “I’d rather go to jail than sit on a jury like this again.” Afterward, she packed her bags and left town. Her husband is also leaving after she called the store to resign.

It has only been two weeks since the controversial verdict was revealed. Casey was found not guilty of murdering her daughter Caylee. She was found guilty of four counts of lying to police officers and is being released for time served on Sunday.

If you’ve seen a link that friends have shared on their Facebook walls stating that accused murderer Casey Anthony confessed to murder — don’t click it! It’s a scam!

Casey was acquitted on charges of murder, manslaughter and child abuse. She’s set to be freed on July 17, 2011, after serving out her sentence for lying to police. Casey has not confessed to murdering her daughter.

The scam link looks like this:

“BREAKING NEWS – Leaked Video of Casey Anthony CONFESSING to Lawyer.”

You may have already seen the link on your Facebook wall, as it is spreading like wild fire. Encourage family and friends to report it as spam and make sure to not click it.

The Examiner reports:

PCWorld.com was one of the first websites to issue the warning. They explain that if you click on the Facebook link, you will be directed to enter your age. After you verify your age, you must click a button labeled, “Jaa” which is Finnish for “share.” When you click the button, you are granting permission for the malware to be shared with your Facebook network.

If you continue to follow the directions given, you will be directed to a site, which looks like YouTube. It is not YouTube and is an online survey scam that generates traffic and revenue for the attackers.

Remember, there is no video out there that is legitimately showing Casey Anthony confessing to her daughter’s murder. If there were, she would certainly be sitting on death row. So don’t be fooled.

Even before the verdict was given in the murder trial against Casey Anthony, people were speculating who should play her if a movie is ever made. Seemingly, Breaking Dawn actress Kristen Stewart’s name just kept popping up. Sure, there is some resemblance between the two, and in Hollywood you can make anyone look like a killer.

Now, we’ve learned that Kristen is a bit miffed at the comparisons — grossed out, even. She says that she won’t play the “Murder Mom”, ever.

A source said, “Her people are really annoyed about the Casey Anthony comparisons. Kristen wants that talk to blow over soon, because it looks really bad.”

If that doesn’t tell you about the likelihood of Kristen taking any role based on Casey’s murder trial, then you probably shouldn’t hold your breath. The source revealed, “She would never for no amount of money portray that girl. It’s grossing her out. All those entertainment shows are doing polls and what not and her people just want it to stop!”

I think we should nix any thoughts of basing a movie around this woman if she stands to make a profit from it. Don’t you? It’s sickening to think that we live in a world where someone can “allegedly” murder their daughter and get lucrative deals to enrichen themselves. Sickening. Don’t you think?

Someone out there is awful upset that Casey Anthony is going to walk free on July 17th. Yes, we’re all upset at what is believed to be the biggest bungle of a not guilty verdict since O.J. Simpson. However, Casey, her attorneys and the jurors that found her not guilty are receiving death threats!

Her attorney, Cheney Mason, has revealed that they all have become the target of death threats, but he’s not really worried. He said that his team has been getting “all kinds of threats” at his office since the verdict was handed down, including one he says “we just turned over to law enforcement.”

Recent reports suggested that Casey’s parents, George and Cindy Anthony, have also been receiving death threats and have gone into hiding. Cheney says that he’s not worried and those who are making the threats are “cowards”.

Yes, there’s outrage at the fact that she’s being released while the entire planet thinks she’s guilty. It’s hard to imagine how she can move on with her life, knowing with certainty what really happened with her daughter. But — that’s no excuse to kill her or anyone else. The jurors were only doing their jobs, too. If the Prosecution would’ve proven their case, it may have been a different story, right?

A few days ago, it was reported that talk show host Jerry Springer was offering acquitted accused murderer Casey Anthony one million dollars for an interview on his show.

While the world sat with its mouth agasp at the thought that Casey would be profiting from the tragedy surrounding her two-year-old daughter, we were all wonder why Jerry would attach himself to that black hole. Now, we’ve learned that the rumors are untrue.

As we’ve said all along, Casey shouldn’t be able to enrich herself from this sad turn of events. Apparently, Jerry thinks so, as well.

TMZ has the scoop:

Jerry Springer says the rumors his show offered Casey Anthony $1 million for an interview are “absolutely, unequivocally not true” — in fact, Jerry says he wouldn’t do it even if HE got paid the million bucks!

Jerry was his usual jovial self yesterday when he explained he thought Casey shouldn’t profit from what she did (or didn’t do). Jerry said very directly, “God as my witness, I would never interview her. You could pay me the million dollars, I wouldn’t do it.”

Good for Jerry for not allowing this monster to profit. She should have to struggle like the rest of the world, not become a millionaire overnight. And that’s our final thought!

Casey Anthony may have gotten away with murder and found guilty of lying to police, but there might be some good that comes from this sad situation.

New York, Florida, Oklahoma and West Virginia are in the process of enacting a new law, called Caylee’s Law, that would require parents and guardians to report missing children within 24 hours of their disappearance.

This woman waited over a month before notifying police that her two-year-old daughter was missing. It was enough time for the remains to decompose, thus not giving any accurate information as to the events that led up to her death.

After the not guilty verdicts were read, a petition was started on Change.org for something to happen as a result of this gross miscarriage of justice. Nearly half a million signatures have already been collected. (continue reading…)

Casey Anthony was acquitted on charges of first degree murder, manslaughter and child abuse, but she was found guilty of lying to police officers. Today, she was sentenced to four years in jail, one for each count of providing false information to cops.

Reportedly, she is getting credit for time served and is set for release on July 13, 2011.

A juror in the case has already spoken out to say that they didn’t come to the not guilty verdict lightly. She said that it came through tears and just because they found her not guilty, it doesn’t mean that she’s completely innocent.

Wow, she’s getting out super early. Can you imagine how much money she stands to make off of book deals, a possible movie and any other lucrative offers that the media throws her way. It’s sickening, really, to think of how many people bash her, yet are willing to pay her off for interviews and the such. Hopefully, she will not have it so easy.

Millions of people sat in shock when the verdict was read. Yes, the jury did their jobs and the Prosecution’s case was mostly circumstantial. But, she will have her little girl’s death on her conscience for the rest of her life. She knows what happened when her daughter went missing, and whether or not it was an accident. We, the public, may never know, but she does. It’s her cross to bear. What do you think?

Casey Anthony was on trial over the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee. Yesterday, the verdicts in the case were read and it was found that she was not guilty on the counts of first degree murder, manslaughter and aggravated child abuse. She was found guilty on four counts of lying to police, which carries a sentence of a year in prison each. She has already served three years behind bars and her sentencing is set for Thursday, July 7, 2011. It’s been said that Casey could get out then, with time served.

Now, her lawyers are saying that the intense media coverage surrounding the trial was to blame for the nation being in such shock that she was acquitted.

Her attorney, Jose Baez, said, “We always felt that this case was built on nothing. I have to salute this jury and I hope to one day have the opportunity to speak to them…to thank them for being courageous.”

One of her other attorneys, Cheney Mason, said that the verdict shocked people because of the slanted media coverage, which was unfavorable to his client. He said, “The news media…they hung her here daily for two and a half years. She did not kill her daughter.”

Jose revealed, “This was a horrible tragedy, an accident that snowballed out of control. And it doesn’t get any clearer than that. The jury saw that and they’re the ones that heard all of the evidence, not the propaganda and the speculation and the Frankenstein-like lynch mob that ensued throughout the last three years…This is a tragedy and nothing less.”

Stay tuned as her sentencing is upon us, we’ll have the latest news!
