Casey Anthony, the mother acquitted of murdering her toddler
daughter Caylee in 2011, appeared in federal bankruptcy court in Tampa. Anthony
made her first public appearance in nearly two years the bankruptcy hearing,
returning to a media frenzy. George Stephanopoulos of “GMA” said Anthony is
“living a narrow life deep in debt with no job, no home of her own, almost no
cash.”
Casey Anthony told the court on Monday that she doesn’t pay
rent or utilities and survives off the kindness of others. She said she has
$484 cash to her name and has no job or car, NBC affiliate WESH in Orlando
reported.
Back in January, her lawyer Charles Greene said that Anthony
wanted to stop people from coming after her with lawsuits, and she would be
filing for bankruptcy.
ABC's Matt Guttman said, "As for the mountain of money
she and many others thought might follow her acquittal, those book deals, the
movies ... never materialized."
Prosecutor Jeff Ashton's book became a Lifetime movie.
Former U.S. Attorney Kendall Coffey, serving as a legal
analyst for NBC, said: “The biggest potential source of income is a book deal
and a movie deal someday, and that’s why it would be vitally important from her
standpoint to keep that asset away from the creditors that she owes money to.”
Anthony was convicted of four misdemeanor counts of lying to
investigators who were looking into Caylee’s disappearance in 2008. She got a
four-year sentence, but was released less than two weeks after the conviction,
counting the time served and for good behavior.
