She wants to sell her story to pay her debts
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.
