ORLANDO, Fla.—Acquitted of murder charges involving her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie, Casey Anthony will have to report to the Orlando probation office by 12 p.m. on Friday, August 26 or face a bench warrant being issued and then being arrested and extradited back to Orlando, Fla., where she faced a trial over the death of her daughter and pled guilty in an earlier case of check fraud. The check fraud case is the reason why Anthony is being ordered back to the city she left in disgrace after she was found not guilty of murdering little Caylee.

Five years ago, Judge Strickland made a verbal order in his courtroom that if Casey Anthony was acquitted of murder charges that he would order her to serve probation in the check fraud case immediately after her release. Judge Belvin Perry presided over the murder case, and after Anthony was released to a shocked courtroom and outraged public, she began her exile from Florida and reportedly lived for a short time in Ohio before being ordered by Judge Perry to return and honor the probation order that his predecessor required to end case she agreed to plead to. However, in what the court is calling a clerical error, the Orlando jail gave Anthony a letter stating that she’d completed her two-year probation while in custody awaiting trial in the murder case. Even though no previous inmate had been released without probation claiming they had served the commitment in prison or in jail, Anthony’s defense attorney Jose Baez claimed that she had indeed served her time, and filed an appeal before the Florida Appeals Court, which was denied on Tuesday.

Baez is also being investigated by the Florida Bar for possible violations relating to this case, and he has said that he is not guilty and looks forward to the end of the investigation to clear his name. He’s faced approximately 20 other ethical violation accusations and stated that he was cleared of those as well. Baez further said that when a defense attorney represents an unpopular defendant that these issues often arise. He’s speaking of his client, Casey Anthony, which a national poll recently taken stated that she was the “most hated woman in America” immediately following her acquittal.

The loss of her appeal means Anthony must serve one-year probation in the check fraud case, and must become gainfully employed, must not drink in excess and must not use any illegal substances or socialize with known felons or convicts. It remains highly doubtful that Anthony would be employed by any of the businesses around her Orlando home, unless her attorneys choose to offer her a position. During post-trial interviews, several of her attorneys including Jose Baez stated that Casey Anthony wishes to enter into a career in the legal system, such as a paralegal. She was reportedly answering telephone calls for the firm, which Baez runs, while on bail after initially being arrested for the disappearance of her daughter Caylee.

Her time of being in hiding must come to an end in less than 72 hours, and attorney Matt Morgan with Morgan and Morgan in Orlando is preparing his firm’s case against Casey Anthony for defamation of one of their clients, Zenaida Gonzalez, who was fired from her job as a nanny when Casey Anthony claimed a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez kidnapped her daughter Caylee. In opening arguments, Jose Baez told the court and the jury that Anthony had made up the nanny, and that she never existed. Casey Anthony has reportedly been in Florida for the past few days in preparation for the possible loss of her appeal, so that she could report to the Orlando authorities to begin serving her probation. No word on whether Anthony will report privately or, as all other probationers do, in the public offices.
