CASEY ANTHONY 'IS RESPONSIBLE' FOR CAYLEE'S DEATH

RESPONSIBLE

PARTY MOM Casey Anthony may have been found not guilty by a jury but she "is responsible" for the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee according to a report by Florida's Department of Children and Families.
The 25-year-old promiscuous felon, who was found to be the most hated person in America in a recent poll here was "neglectful" of her toddler investigators for the welfare agency found.
The damning report also concluded that she failed to protect Caylee by not reporting her disappearance in 2008 for more than a month and that failure interfered with the law enforcement investigation and efforts to find her child.

Damningly they also concluded that the tot died as a result of abuse or neglect, but the report said the agency was unable to substantiate that the toddler had died from asphyxiation.
DCF spokesman Joe Follick said: "The inactions by the mother were clearly failure to protect. As the child was found dead, obviously the failure to protect led to the death."
He added that the state agency is mandated to conduct reviews when there are allegations that a child dies as a result of abuse, abandonment or neglect.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office will not take any further action as a result of the report, Capt. Angelo Nieves told CNN.
He said: "This closes out the DCF case, and it does not create additional follow-up on our part."
Anthony has not been seen since she was spotted in Ohio which we reported here. 
Here parents George and Cindy did make an appearance at the spot where their granddaughter was killed on the day when Caylee would have turned six, which we reported here.
It remains to be seen whether she will give a media interview with her side of the story, after the astonishing case. 

CASEY ANTHONY EXCLUSIVE FIRST PICTURES

THESE are the exclusive pictures of Casey Anthony taken in Ohio this past weekend.

As you can see she's put on a bit of weight after the trial and despite her lawyers assertions, she doesn't seem to be in danger. More After the break.

According to TMZ she was snapped on Sunday trying to blend in by wearing an Ohio State University baseball cap, a tight-fitting top and glasses as she walked around town ... stopping at an Old Navy to check out some dresses.

Anthony has several relatives who live in Ohio -- but it's unclear if she has spent time them.
Next stop -- no one seems to know.

CASEY ANTHONY 'MUST' RETURN TO ORLANDO: JUDGE

CASEY Anthony's time in hiding is over, after a judge ordered her back to Orlando to serve a year of probation for her check fraud conviction.
The one time party mom has been in hiding, since she was sensationally found not guilty of the murder of her young toddler, but now she will have to return to her home state.
Back in January 2010, she admitted to stealing her friend a checkbook from her friend Amy Huizenga - who later testified against her at her murder trial - and writing herself five checks
totaling $644.25. At the time of her sentencing she told the court: "I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm sorry for what I did. I take complete and full responsibility for my actions, and I'd like to apologize to Amy. I wish I'd been a better friend." 
At the time, it was assumed that she would serve the probation while she was being held on murder charges.
But now it appears that Judge Strickland has changed his mind and he's ordered her back to serve the time.     
Cheney Mason, one of Anthony's defense attorneys, said his client's legal team is working to "set aside and vacate the order."
He added the order claims Baez and Anthony were present Monday for a hearing -- something Mason said "did not happen."
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said they would move on Anthony if she failed to show.
She said: "We're prepared to move forward with the court order. If she doesn't report, she'll be in violation of her probation, unless something legally happens and we're told to hold off."

CASEY ANTHONY 'NEEDS PROFESSIONAL HELP'

"ISSUES"

CASEY Anthony is seeking professional help for mental health issues, instead of the limelight of TV interviews, sources close to the party mom have revealed.
The 25-year-old who was sensationally acquitted of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee has admitted 'obvious issues' according to TMZ. 
According to the gossip website, she has now realized that her behavior was questionable, after Caylee's disappearance and she still needs help coping with the "obvious trauma of losing her child.
After nearly three years in solitary confinement in a Florida jail, spending 23 hours a day in a 4x9 foot cell, she also feels the need to cope with something that "messed with her head."
But some media commentator's are speculating that it might be a cunning ploy by her attorney, Jose Baez, to drive up the price for her story.
It is known that in recent weeks he has been negotiating with all the major networks for the first interview. 
However media commentator John McDade has warned that they're brinkmanship could backfire.
He said: "At the moment, everyone wants to hear Casey's story, but as time goes by people may well lose interest or a new story comes along which will capture the public's imagination more.
"So the price she can command, may actually go down. If she is going for treatment, I wish her luck, but if they're just using this as some sort of bargaining chip, I would urge caution."

HUSTLER MAG OFFERS CASEY ANTHONY $500 GS

STRIPPER?

PARTY mom Casey Anthony has been offered $500,000 to pose naked for Hustler magazine.
Owner Larry Flint claimed even he found the offer to America's most notorious women,  "a little weird" but said that fans of the magazine had repeatedly asked him about it.
He said: "I just felt that people wouldn't want to see her with her clothes on or off, so I kind of forgot about the idea.'
But he added: "I just recently got off of a book tour where dozens of people would come up to me in Philadelphia, Austin, Houston, they'd
say, 'Why haven't you made an offer to Casey Anthony?"'
Despite some of the weird and wacky things Flynt has done in his checkered life, he admitted that even he was a little bit wary about the idea. 
He said: "You've got men who say, hey, I want to see her in her birthday suit. There may be some sick individuals  but that's what life is all about."
He added that in addition to the $500,000, he offered Anthony a percentage of whatever he earns from her pictures.
The news comes just days after we revealed here that she had been offered $1 million for her first TV interview, about the murder of her daughter Caylee.

PARTY MOM CASEY ANTHONY COST STATE $147,000

BROKE

PARTY mom Casey Anthony's defense team have sent a massive $147,018 bill to the state of Florida, for their work clearing her for the murder of her two-year-old daughter.
A jury astonished most onlookers this earlier this month, when they found her not guilty in the case which some have called the most controversial acquittal since OJ Simpson.
But now in a move that is bound to infuriate taxpayers statewide they've submitted their bill which claims expenses for a range of categories including expert witnesses, mental health evaluations and court reporting services.

According to the Orlando Sentinel  the state has paid $118,847 of those expenses and but refused to fork out nearly $12,000.
The largest portion that has been paid to date is for the category that includes investigative services, mitigation specialist work and subpoena service - totaling up to $67,100, reports the paper. 
Anthony initially paid for her defense with $200,000 she received from ABC News for her family photos and videos, and money from private donors.
But she ran out of money and in March 2010 asked the court to declare her indigent so the state could pay the rest of her defense tab, something Circuit Judge Stan Strickland, the judge initially assigned to the case, agreed to.
Casey has been in hiding since the astonishing ruling, although it's believed she may be in California at the moment.
Her lawyer, Jose Baez who controversially accused both her father an brother of sexually abusing her, without producing a shred of evidence to back up his claims is in New York at the moment, negotiating a lucrative TV deal for his client as we reported here.
It is unclear as to whether they have struck a deal yet.

CASEY ANTHONY OFFERED $1 MILLON FOR TV INTERVIEW

MILLIONAIRE?

CASEY Anthony has been offered a cool million for the first TV interview, after she was cleared of murdering her daughter Caylee. Independent TV producer, Al Taylor told MailOnline that it was a "done deal" and that Casey would be interviewed by an as yet unnamed host for his company Private Elevator Productions. 
He added that she may take a lie detector test, if the interview goes ahead. 
Taylor bragged: "She made them come to Palm Springs. She wants the money that's for sure. No one else has the balls. I'm offering money from my own company. We're the only game in town." 
He added: "She was a little concerned about how she is going to look with the lie detector test. But I said: 'You're the most hated woman in America, if you have to do some weird thing.'
"We were worried she wouldn’t answer the questions. We wanted to get our million dollars’ worth." He also claimed that while Casey was keen to work with him, her lawyer Jose Baez, who flanked her for the 15 to 20 minute meeting was less impressed. Taylor said: "Jose's a great lawyer but he's not a great agent. Take the money." 
However Taylor's audacious claims seem to be negated by the fact that Baez has been spotted in New York where he is due to spend this weekend negotiating with executives from all the major networks. 
According to TMZ, NBC who are paying for him to stay in the plush Mandarin Oriental Hotel are the frontrunners, with ABC a close second. 
Here at Crime Scene USA however we don't feel Casey should make a penny from the controversial case and we're asking you to join our Facebook group No Money for Casey Anthony To Show your support.

BIDS FLOOD IN FOR FIRST CASEY ANTHONY INTERVIEW

IN THE MONEY

CASEY Anthony's lawyers have been inundated with interview requests from hundreds of media agencies around the World scramble for the first exclusive interview.
According to experts she could make hundreds of thousands, if not millions from lucrative, TV, book and magazine deals, as people scramble to hear her story, after she was cleared of murdering her toddler Caylee.
Media expert John McDade said: "It's going to be bigger than Jaycee Duggard's recent interview with Diane Sawyer. Those viewing figures were huge, but Casey's will undoubtedly be even bigger.

"The network's know that love her or loathe her, everyone will want to know what she has to say for herself, especially as she chose not to testify."  
He added: "It means the checkbooks are out and Casey could make a fortune, possibly over a million if she decides to speak up."
Anthony has laid low after her release from jail but her lawyer Jose Baez insisted that his client had the right to cash in on her infamy, if she chose too.
Jose Baez said: "Right now we are just moving forward and trying to start putting the pieces back together for Casey's life." 
He added: "She has certain rights as an individual in his country, and we will labour hard to make sure she has the ability to exercise those rights. If she decides she wants to speak publicly about it, she'll make that decision."

   

CINDY ANTHONY WILL NOT BE TRIED FOR PERJURY

CASEY Anthony's mom will not be tried for perjury despite being shown up to be a liar on the stand during her daughter's explosive court case. 

Despite initially denying it to police, on the stand Cindy Anthony claimed that it was her, not her daughter, who searched for chloroform on the family computer. 
Instead, she told the court that she had mistakenly searched for 'chlorophyll' because she thought it was making her dogs ill, when the knockout drug appeared instead.   
She also claimed that 'neck breaking' had appeared on a pop up advert during one of the searches. 
It appeared to blow a huge hole in the prosecution argument that Casey had searched for death terms before her daughter Caylee went missing. 
But Cindy's old boss quickly showed her up to be a liar when she said that she had been in work at the time the searches were made. 
Records were also produced by a chief compliance officer for Mrs Anthony's old company showing she was still logged into her work computer on the afternoons she claimed to be conducting the internet searches at home.
However despite making the false claims she will not be prosecuted for perjury on the stand. 
But despite apparently lying to protect her daughter, Casey does not appear to have appreciated the gesture as she refused to see her mother when she tried to visit her in prison. 
It's believed she may try again before her daughter is released on Sunday. 
 

LAWYER FEARS FOR CASEY ANTHONY'S SAFETY

FEARS

MASON

CASEY Anthony's lawyer fears for her safety when she is released from jail after being acquitted of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee. 
It's thought the one time party mom will be released this weekend, but once she's free her lawyer Cheney Mason fears for her safety. 
He said: "We're all concerned about her safety and her future. I don't know that anything is ever beyond repair. But I think with her parents that's pretty well burned."
He added that he didn't know where she would go after she was released next weekend telling NBC I don't know and if I did I wouldn't tell you.

Mason came under fire last week for celebrating the court victory with a champagne party at a local bar.

In an apparent moment of madness, he turned to one camera pointed at him and rudely flipped his middle finger.
Instead of defending the action, however, Mason said he was gesturing towards a 'stalker' who he threatened was lucky he did not come out to confront him properly.
The news came on the back of a  USA Today/Gallup poll which suggested two thirds of Americans believe she is guilty.

CASEY ANTHONY'S MOM 'INCREDIBLY HURT'

DISTRAUGHT

ON RELEASE

CASEY Anthony's distraught mother is refusing to give up on her daughter and will try to visit her behind bars again.
Cindy Anthony, was turned away when she went to Florida's Orange County Jail last week, after Casey was sensationally cleared of murdering her two-year-old Caylee.
It's thought that she was trying to rebuild some of the bridges burned during the explosive trial when Casey's lawyer, Jose Baez, claimed that she had been sexually abused by both her father, George and brother, Lee. A friend of the family revealed:
"Cindy was incredibly hurt and upset when Casey refused to speak to her. Despite everything, she is still her mother.
"She understands the huge toll this has take, but thinks it will be ten times worse once she is released, so she's desperate to try and sort, at least a few things out, before Casey is released on Sunday. 
"As much anything she was hoping to find out what her plans are, once she is freed."
Neither Cindy or George have had any contact with their daughter, since before the trial and they fear that, like them, she will be subjected to vicious death threats or possibly worse.
Their lawyer Cheney Mason, has already sent one letter threatening to kill Casey and the juror's who acquitted her to the authorities.
The friend added: "Cindy has already lost a granddaughter and she doesn't want to lose her daughter too."

CASEY ANTHONY SNUBS MOM CINDY AT JAILHOUSE VISIT

BOZO

NO GO

PARTY mom Casey Anthony has refused the chance to build bridges with her own mother by snubbing her at a jail visit.
Cindy Anthony tried to reach out to her daughter, who will be released next week,  for the first time since she was sensationally cleared of murdering her toddler Caylee.
But instead Casey turned her away and refused to face her, telling her jailers that she didn't want to see her.  
It's thought that George, her husband and Casey's father is furious that her lawyer suggested that both he and their son Lee has sexually abused her. 
Jail spokesman Allen Moore told Reuters: "This morning under policy, Casey was told of the visit and she has declined the visit so it will not occur." 
The snub came as it was revealed that Anthony will be only the second inmate in the past 15 years to not walk out the front door of the jail lobby when she is released on Sunday.

Instead a secret exit plan has been devised for her own protection, because it's feared people may try to attack her after the controversial. 
A jail insider revealed: "The last thing we want is some nut attacking her, or worse and the strength of public feeling is such, that it was felt measures should be taken." 
The only other inmate who got such special handling was Noelle Bush, daughter of then-Governor Jeb Bush and niece of then-President George W Bush, who the Secret Service believed could be targeted by terrorists.

PARTY MOM CASEY ANTHONY RELEASED NEXT WEEK

SO. READY. TO. PARTY.

CASEY Anthony will be a free woman next Sunday, corrections officials have revealed.
Although Judge Belvin Perry sentenced her to four years for lying to police officer's, she will be free if she wishes, to return to her hard partying ways, because she has already been behind bars for that length of time.
It is unclear what she plans to do with her life after the jury cleared her on first-degree murder and aggravated manslaughter charges in the death of her two-year daughter Caylee, Anthony.
The 25-year-old Anthony must decide whether to return to a
community in which many onlookers long ago concluded that she's a killer, or to a home strained by her defense attorneys' accusations of sexual abuse.

Legal commentator and all round expert, Steven Michael O'Grady said: "It's going to be tough wherever she goes, because so many people think she was guilty of Caylee's murder.
"She going to face people who are openly hostile because of the deep impact this case has made. It will be interesting to see if her family, and remember, her lawyer accused her father and her brother of sexually abusing her take her back."
Whatever Anthony decides, she has just over a week to come up with a plan after court officials gave her a projected release date of July 17, her 1007th day in jail due to credit for time served and good behavior.

CASEY ANTHONY SENTENCED TO 4 YEARS: OUT IN DAYS

SMILING

CASEY Anthony will serve just four years behind bars for lying to police, but with credit, she could be released within days.
How much credit she gets will be determined Thursday,  but it won't be announced in court.
The sentence which also includes four $1000 fines for each of the counts was imposed by Judge Belvin Perry who gave her the maximum allowed under the jury's decision.
Anthony who appeared relaxed and happy as she arrived at court, showed no reaction as the veteran lawman gave his decision.
He said: "As a result of those four separate and distinct lies law enforcement spent a lot of time looking for young Caylee Marie Anthony.
"The search for her went on from July through December over several months trying to find Caylee.
"Just as the jury spoke loud and clear on counts one, two and three, they also spoke loud and clear to the remaining counts."
Clearly wanting to punish her, he disagreed with her attorney Lisbeth Fryer, who had argued that the four convictions should be consolidated into one count, because all of her false statements stemmed from a single incident.   
Perry said he would need to meet with attorneys for at least an hour today to determine how much time Anthony will serve, based on how much credit she will receive for the three years she has already spent in jail.
They will run consecutively with each other. 

DEATH THREATS FOR CASEY ANTHONY'S FAMILY

DEATH THREATS

CASEY Anthony's parents have been receiving death threats since their daughter was cleared of murder yesterday.
Their attorney Mark Lippman said they were currently being guarded by Orange County Sheriff's, from members of the public, furious that their daughter had appeared to escape justice for the killing of her daughter Caylee. He added that they were surprised at the verdict and they had not spoken to their daughter since their daughter had been cleared, but imagined they would do at some point.
He told GMA: "You can never tell what a jury is going to do. They were shocked that the jury didn't find any sort of evidence against her
even though the state did a fantastic job."

He added: "My client George Anthony and Lee Anthony never molested her. Certainly George had nothing to do with moving the body and the rest of the things the defense said about my clients in particular never happened."
Lippman added that the family would have to work on rebuilding their relationship one day at the time.
He said: "Hopefully they can start to rebuild their lives. Their lives will never be the same. This case has destroyed everybody's reputation for the rest of their lives. Where we go from here I can't discuss that."
 

KIM KARDASHIAN 'SPEECHLESS' ON CASEY ANTHONY

PARTY GIRL

PARTY GIRL

KIM Kardashian joined a chorus of stunned celebrities in shock at the news that Casey Anthony had been cleared of murdering her daughter. 
The celebutard, who's father rose to prominence working on the OJ Simpson trial, which some have compared this case too, said she was "speechless" at the verdict.
She tweeted: "WHAT!!!!???!!! CASEY ANTHONY FOUND NOT GUILTY!!! I am speechless!!!"
Other celebrity's were also stunned at news, which could see the one-time party mom freed in just days.
American Pie star Jason Biggs also compared the verdict with the infamous OJ trial, which saw the one time football star, cleared of killing his wife Nicole Brown and her lover Ron Goldman, when he said: "I guess the glove didn’t fit."
The Voice host Carson Daily expressed his fears for the 12 men and women who made the decision saying: "That Jury better get into hiding."

CASEY ANTHONY'S LAWYER JOSE BAEZ: 'I SAVED A LIFE'

LIFE SAVER

CASEY Anthony's defense lawyer made the astonishing claim that he "saved a life today" after his client was found not guilty of murder. 
Jose Baez said "there are no winners" in the case of two-year-old Caylee Anthony, whose dumped, decomposing body was found near the Anthony home, but insisted his client was innocent. Astonishingly he added: "The best feeling that I have today [is] I know when I go home my daughter will ask me what did you do
today? And I can say I saved a life.
"Caylee has passed on far, far too soon and what my driving force has been for the last three years has been always to make sure there is justice for Caylee and Casey because Casey did not murder Caylee.
"It is that simple. And today, our system of justice has not dishonored her memory by a false conviction."
The acquittal, marked the end of an amazing rise for the formerly unknown legal eagle which court tapes revealed, Anthony had chose at random. 
Despite graduating from law school in 1997, the 42-year-old Navy veteran was only admitted to the Florida Bar in 2005 because he refused to pay child support to his former wife or secure life and health insurance for his teenage daughter.
Having previously declared himself bankrupt and defaulted on loans, according to an order by the Supreme Court of Florida, he was refused admission  to the bar for eight years. 
In their ruling they wrote the financial marks on his name showed: "A lack of respect for the rights of others and a total lack of respect for the legal system, which is absolutely inconsistent with the character and fitness qualities required of those seeking to be afforded the highest position of trust and confidence recognised by our system of law."
During this time he worked for two bikini businesses.
According to reports his home was still in foreclosure last year and given that Casey has less than $100 in her account, she will be unable to pay him until she receives money from media appearances or a book deal.
Still, given this amazing verdict Baez will likely be in great demand in future, meaning his money woes will be well behind him. 

CASEY ANTHONY COULD NOW MAKE MILLION$

MILLIONAIRE?

THE STUNNING decision to acquit Casey Anthony means she could make millions from lucrative TV and book deals and there is also talk that the compelling case could be turned into a movie. 
Despite being branded a compulsive liar by all, including her own lawyer Jose Baez, the 25-year-old is now likely to be inundated with interview requests according to media expert Steve Hay. 
He said: "This case has captured the public's imagination and the verdict has both appalled and excited in equal measure. 
"Given that she didn't testify, no one aside from a few people no one knows what she thought about her daughter's death, during the court case and now she has been acquitted those opinions could be worth millions.
"The first TV interview will be worth a fortune and if she writes her autobiography, it could quite easily be a bestseller.     
"Just because most of the public are reviled by her and think she did it, it doesn't mean they won't pay for her side of the story."
But although she could be in line for a small fortune, rebuilding the relationship with her family could be considerably harder.  
Speaking after the verdict her lawyer Jose Baez said: "The family hopes that they will be given the time by the media to reflect on this verdict and decide the best way to move forward privately."
But after her defense team accused her father George of the murder and implied that both he and her brother Lee sexually abused Casey, it's thought her reception could be frosty

JUROR: DA DIDN'T PROVE CASEY ANTHONY'S GUILT

HUEKLER

CASEY Anthony's prosecutor's 'didn't meet the burden of proof' according to one of the alternate jurors who was on stand by during the trial. For six weeks Russ Huekler watched the trial unfold, ready to step in, in the event of one of the other jurors had to withdraw from the bench and he said if he had to deliberate the not guilty verdict would have been the same.
Huekler of St. Petersburg told Fox 13: “I agree whole heartedly. It was the right decision that they made. The prosecutors didn’t meet the burden of proof. We had a lot of reasonable doubt there. They didn’t show us the evidence good enough for a conviction."
The decision, which has been called the most controversial since the acquittal of OJ Simpson, stunned most onlookers, but Huekler, a
teacher said defense lawyer Jose Baez's argument that Caylee drowned made sense to him.
He added that he did think the one time party mom was a liar, but he did not believe the prosecution's assertion that she killed her two-year-old tot Caylee.
“There was some type of horrific accident by the family," he explained.
"Whatever happened I think more than one person knows and I think that was possibly George Anthony. For some reason they made an accident look like a murder scene.”

CASEY ANTHONY: THE MOMENT SHE WAS CLEARED

THIS is the amazing moment when Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the murder of her daughter, Caylee:

Clearly shaken, the one time party mom shed a few tears as the clerk of the court read the astonishing verdict that she was cleared of the murder.

Crowds gasped outside the courtroom as the 25-year-old mother was found not guilty of drugging her young daughter, suffocating her and dumping her body in overgrown woodland after a compelling six-week trial, which has seen a family torn apart by accusations of rape and incest.
Some are already calling it the most controversial court verdict since OJ Simpson was cleared of murdering his wife Nicole and her lover Ron Goldman. 
Quite what now lies in store for the Anthony family remains to be seen, after her lawyers accused her father George of abusing her and dumping Caylee's body after she drowned in the family pool.
Her lawyer Jose Baez also implied that her brother Lee fathered Caylee. 
In a statement they said: "While the family may never know what has happened to Caylee Marie Anthony, they now have closure for this chapter of their life. They will now begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.
"Despite the baseless defense chosen by Casey Anthony, the family believes that the jury made a fair decision based on the evidence presented, the testimony presented, the scientific information presented and the rules that were given to them by the Honourable Judge Perry to guide them.
"The family hopes that they will be given the time by the media to reflect on this verdict and decide the best way to move forward privately."
