Florida judge orders Casey Anthony to serve year of probation

Casey Anthony must serve one year of supervised probation for a check-fraud conviction, saying that failing to carry through on a "lawfully imposed sentence" would be a "mockery of justice." Orange County Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. said that Anthony has to report to a state Department of Corrections facility in Orlando no later than noon on August 26, though she can report earlier.
Perry also ruled the Department of Corrections can keep Anthony's address confidential to safeguard her well-being. Citing reports indicating Anthony is highly disliked by the public, the judge acknowledged that there "is a high probability that there are many that would like to ... physical(ly) harm" the defendant.
The probation order states that Anthony cannot leave "the county of (her) residence" -- which has been Orange County -- without her probation officer's approval.
Jo Ellyn Rackleff, spokeswoman for the corrections department, said Friday that her agency is reviewing the order.
"We will then determine what is the best way to implement it," said Rackleff. "Miss Anthony has not received permission to move to another state."
