She wants to sell her story to pay her debts 

 

Casey Anthony Released From Jail

 

The trustee overseeing Casey Anthony's bankruptcy case wants to sell the rights to her story so she can pay her debts.

In a motion filed Monday in federal court in Tampa, Florida, trustee Stephen Meininger asked Judge K Rodney May for permission to sell the "exclusive worldwide rights" of Ms Anthony's life story.

Anthony, 26, was acquitted in 2011 of murder in the death her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Anthony filed for bankruptcy in Florida in late January, claiming about $1,000 in assets and $792,000 in liabilities. Court papers list Anthony as unemployed, with no recent income.

During a meeting with creditors in the bankruptcy case earlier this month, Anthony said: "I don't pay rent. I don't pay utilities. I guess you could say I'm living free off the kindness of others."

Anthony reportedly owes $792,000 and has assets of just $1,000.

Her debts include $500,000 for attorney fees and costs for her criminal defence lawyer during the trial, plus more than $275,000 in combined law enforcement investigative fees and Internal Revenue Service taxes, interest and penalties.

She said she was unemployed and has not received any money to tell her story.

Anthony's trial, which was televised, drew massive media attention in the US. But she has not spoken publicly or given her side of the story since being found not guilty.

Before the March 4 bankruptcy meeting Anthony had not been seen in public since she left Orange County Jail in July 2011, 12 days after her acquittal.

David Schrader, Anthony's bankruptcy attorney, did not immediately comment on Monday's filing.

IF and it is a big if, she is pregnant whether with twins or not, and if the sop that had relations with her is rich, she's set for life whether she gets a book deal or not.  She will be able to bleed this guy dry and there's nothing to stop her getting magazine/newspaper deals for her story about the 'twins' and her so called relationship which could appear periodically.  Again, if this is true, she'd almost certainly drop him like a hot potato - it's a case of watch this space

Not that I followed the case closely, but when it's something like that it makes you wonder how desperate for work a big name actor has to be.

 

Related, sort of, but on the news this morning they spoke about Jim Carey refusing to do promo for his latest film Kick-Ass2, even though it was filmed before the Sandy Hook massacre, he feels it is wrong to promote violence.

 

BTW, I haven't seen kick ass anything. I, just mentioning what I saw.

I think I must be a bit odd .......i know I'll watch the film and read any futire books etc.

 

It was a fascinating case with a pretty shocking verdict and at the centre of it all the murder of the dearest little girl.

 

I live in the vain 'hope' that one day Casey will tell the truth - don't see that happening anytime soon.

 

In the interim I really do want to see/hear her deluded version- I wanted to see her on the stand - it never happened. I want to hear her own 'explanation'.

I scanned the cast to see who is playing the divine Yuri - he doesn't seem to feature.
