Well at least it's something, and at least it's a higher amount than what the judge originally said, $217,000 to pay back, without a job? Good luck on that one, bitch.

LOL, people crazy. Fuck she gonna get the money to pay it back? SHE BEAT THE FUCKING CHARGES PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya'll need to move on. Leave this woman be. I never thought I'd see the day where there would be a WHITE, female version of OJ.

She's going to get the money because she is going to get book and/or movie deal money.

Why anybody would pay a cent for anything endorsing her is beyond me. A book deal? She can't tell the same line twice, how is she...you know, you KNOW every word she says is going to be a lie, might as well pay to listen to a bunch of gasbag politicians speak, won't find a word of truth in anything they say.

The chances of Casey Anthony getting a book deal or movie deal are pretty slim. I know people who work in both industries and in the publishing industry most memoir manuscripts are turned down. Casey Anthony doesn't have much credibility despite her acqutial. There is quite a bit of investigation records that have been released to the public because of Florida's sunshine laws and in a lot of law enforcement interviews with former friends, Casey has a long history of lying and some of her friends that were interview by law enforcement didn't testify in trial but what they said about Casey to police was damaging.

The publishing industry also is very leery since the James Frey controversy about publishing books in which people make claims about other people with concrete evidence or proof. Casey accused her father and brother of sexual abuse which will never be proven and publishers always want to avoid potential defamation suits.

As for the movie deal,someone I know who works for Paramount in LA has told me that the talk around town is that there is a chance a movie about the Casey Anthony case will be made but the screenplay will likely be based on court transcripts and other public records with no involvement from Casey.

Not opposed to them fining her for deliberately sending them on a wild goose chase. They're entitled to recoup any losses in money & man hours that could have been better put to use. But at some point this whole thing has to just be released to the universe, turn the page, close the book & just let go. Fate/karma whatever people want to call it will deal with her.
