CHICAGO, IL - She may be one of the most hated mothers in the country, and Casey Anthony will soon operate within that public scorn.
Once she’s freed from a Florida prison this weekend, Anthony will likely wear disguises and live under an assumed name at a secret location, the Chicago Sun-Times reported, quoting a source close to her team.
Anthony was found not guilty last week of killing her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008 but was convicted of lying to authorities.
The verdict touched off a wave of national outrage. The Sun-Times reported the unidentified source said she believes, “Casey really does not completely understand the depth of hatred out there.”
Expected to live under a pseudonym in a secret location, almost like “living in a witness protection-like program,” Casey hopes to avoid being harassed.
Whether or not she can achieve peace and anonymity is left in question.
The defendant is expected to be released through another exit from the Orange County Jail or may even be routed to a different facility in order to avoid any potential danger.
Despite all of the antagonism, many have offered her book and movie deals, as well as TV appearances to speak about her experience.
Katie Couric may even be the first to speak with Casey, “as her first big get” for her move to ABC, according to E! Online.
But Jeff Ashton, one of the lead prosecutors on the case, previously stated on NBC’s Today, “Even if Casey got out of jail and wrote a book and said [what happened to Caylee], I don’t know that any of us will really know if we could believe it or not.”
Though her story may not be believable, there’s no question that the interest will be high.
Her daughter, Caylee Anthony, was last seen on June 16, 2008. Her remains were found in the woods near the Anthony home in Florida in December that year.
