On the same day Casey Anthony was seen in Ohio – the first confirmed sighting of the acquitted murder suspect since her release – her attorney argued that she will not be safe in Orlando, where a judge ordered her to return.
Anthony went into hiding when she was released from jail July 17 after being found not guilty of murder in the death of her daughter Caylee.
However, on Monday, a judge ordered Casey to report within three days to Orlando as part of her supervised probation in an unrelated case.
Casey Anthony admitted to fraudulently using her best friend’s checks to buy more than $400 worth of clothes and groceries back in 2008.
That took place the month after the disappearance of Caylee, 2. Casey, 25, admitted committing the offense while awaiting trial last year.
Her attorney, Cheney Mason, is fighting the judge’s order:
Mason argued that Anthony had already served out her probation while in jail in the murder case and that the judge’s ruling in the check fraud case contained a number of technical errors in ordering Anthony back to Orlando.
Whether she returns to Florida remains to be seen, but we know where she is right now: Ohio, blending in wearing an Ohio State University cap (and creating a PR nightmare for the school even worse than Terrelle Pryor).
In her OSU hat, tight-fitting top and glasses, Anthony checked out some dresses at a local Old Navy store. Casey has relatives in Ohio, though it is unclear if she is staying with them, and/or seeking mental health treatment there.
