Casey Anthony released from jail
Casey Anthony was freed from the Florida jail early Sunday, 12 days after she was acquitted of murder while in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony in a very verdict that drew furious responses as well as threats from people across the U.S. who had followed the case with rapt focus.
Anthony, sporting a pink T-shirt with blue jeans, left the jail at 12:14 a.m. local time (0414 GMT) with her lawyer, Jose Baez. Following 3 years behind bars, Anthony was given $537.68 in money from her jail account and escorted outside by two sheriff’s deputies armed with semi-automatic rifles. Neither Anthony nor Baez mentioned anything at all to reporters and protesters gathered outside.
