Did Casey Anthony Serve 1-Year Probation in Fraud Case While Jailed Awaiting Child-Murder Trial?
Facing a new legal issue following her release after being acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Casey Anthony is returning to Orlando, Fla., for another court hearing.
The question: Did she already complete her earlier, one-year probation in a check-fraud case while she was being held in jail prior to her murder trial? Or was the probation supposed to start after her release? The court clerk’s office and the sentencing judge apparently had differing ideas of what was intended, and Anthony is to return to the state so the situation can be sorted out, CNN reports.
The Orlando Sentinel also has a story.
