The appellate court has ruled that Casey Anthony does have to serve one year of probation.
As you know, the Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) supervises felony probation, and Casey Anthony was ordered to serve a year of probation after entering her plea to 13 felony charges in January of 2010. At the time the judge ordered her to begin serving probation after she was released from jail, which made no sense at the time since it appeared to everyone in the world that she would never be released from jail.
Please read this note on their website regarding Casey Anthony. DOC by court order, is not allowed to post her address or information on their website as they would with any other offender due to the death threats against her. Here's the direct quote of Judge Belvin Perry in his Order:
"It is further ORDERED that the Department of Corrections is hereby authorized in its discretion to keep confidential the Defendant's residential information and any other information that could lead to discovery of her location due to threats on the Defendant's life."
Although I agree with the judge that her location should be kept confidential, it's interesting to me that the Department of Corrections provides the public with a link to sign up for monthly email updates on Casey Anthony's probation progress. As I already recieve more than my allotted amount of spam, I will not be signing up. Will you?
