In addition to any deals she might have made with her lawyers the line is already forming to get a piece of the almost guaranteed multi-million dollar income she will have soon. There is a defamation suit starting up by someone who claims she slandered them in her testimony, a search and rescue company out of Texas is starting a suit to recover the money they spent searching for her daughter, and that is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
But there should be plenty to go around, that is why they are lining up.
A think a lot of people underestimate how big the US is, let alone the world. There are plenty of places far away from Florida where many people have never heard of Casey Anthony. Heck, all I know about this case is what I’ve read on the SDMB.
She could set up a Paypal donation webpage to raise money to pay for sterilization surgery. Think of all the money she’d rake in!
[Serious reply–it scares me that she has expressed an interest in having more children. When I heard the verdict my first thought was “please please don’t have any more children.”]
Has there ever been anybody who has been through a big media circus trial,who has ever “suffered extremely” afterwards (by that I mean something like being lynched or viciously and repeatedly physically assaulted)? Lizzie Borden,William Calley, Angela Davis.William Zantzinger didn’t like the Bob Dylan song about him,claiming he distorted what happened but lived to be 69,although he had tax trouble. Some guys like G Gordon Liddy and Eliot Spitzer even parlay their crimes into a media career. Clifford Irving had a career and probably even more fame after being convicted in trying to pass off a bogus Howard Hughes autobiography.
If this woman has a miserable life,it will probably be due to her already existing characer defects,not because of anything that a pinhead like Nancy Grace has says.
Amy Fisher never escaped her past. She is on Dr, Drew now trying to recover. I suppose her guilt kept her from being normal. She claims the press has kept a relentless tab on her ever since her release.
Well technically, Linda Kasabian was not prosecuted and therefore not convicted of the Tate and Labianca murders although she was at both murder scenes. Linda was given immunity in order to win murder convictions against Charlie Manson, Tex Watson, Pat Krenwinkle, Susan Atkins, and Leslie VanHOughton. Linda Kasabian, as the state’s main witness in all 4 murder trials, Linda was more well known than any of the others in the Manson family except Charlie himself.
Well, Fatty Arbuckle’s career in the 1920s was pretty much destroyed after he was tried for (and acquitted of) raping and murdering a young actress.
And Michael Richards, though not charged with a crime, hasn’t really done anything of note since the infamous n-word incident, other than playing himself in the Seinfeld reunion season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

Casey Anthony has only been an adult for 4 years, and she spent about 3 of her 4 adult years in prison. Casey was a free adult woman for only about 1 year of her life. Most of Casey’s entire adult life was spent behind bars, in solitary. Casey really does not have a normal adult life, nor any sense of normality, to fall back on once she is released from jail. You can guarantee that Casey will have lots of problems adjusting to being free in society, esp Casey stays away from George Anthony and ends up with no family.
It was reported that Casey declined a visit from her mother in prison in the last couple of days. I guess that doesn’t bode well for her trying to take shelter with them when she’s released.
I wonder if she’ll be released to a halfway house first? I wonder if she’ll be such a security risk that the police will hide her somehow? Would witness protection be a stretch?
