A big fat book deal? A life in hiding? Motherhood again? What could the future hold for Casey Anthony when she gets out of jail, perhaps this week? A day after she was acquitted of killing her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, in a case that was a coast-to-coast TV sensation, many of those who followed the riveting drama are wondering. "Anthony will always be dogged by the belief that she killed her child," said Lewis Katz, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. "She will never lead a normal life." In a country known for second acts, never is a strong word. But should she be released, after nearly three years behind bars, the 25-year-old Anthony could be hard-pressed to piece together some semblance of a normal life: She may have to leave town. Threats have been made against her, and online she is being vilified. Nearly 15,000 people ‘liked' the ‘I hate Casey Anthony' page on Facebook, which included comments wishing her the same fate that befell little Caylee. Ti McCleod, who lives a few doors from Anthony's parents, said: "Society is a danger to Casey, she's not a danger to society." Her family has been fractured by her attorneys' insistence that Anthony's father and brother molested her and that her father participated in a cover-up of Caylee's death. On Tuesday, Anthony's parents rose from their seats without emotion upon hearing the verdict and left the courtroom before everyone else. Their attorney, Mark Lippman, said they haven't spoken with their daughter since the verdict, and he wouldn't say whether they believed she was guilty. Anthony didnt finish school and has limited work experience. Her last job was in 2006 as a vendor in a theme park. While she once professed an interest in photography, it's not known whether she has skills for a career. In a 2010 letter from jail to a friend, Anthony said she would like to adopt a child from Ireland, "accent and all." Judge Belvin Perry will sentence Anthony on four counts of lying to investigators while they were looking into her daughter's disappearance. Each count carries up to a year behind bars. At worst, she will serve additional time. Prosecutors contended that Anthony suffocated Caylee with duct tape because she wanted to be free to party and be with her boyfriends. Defence attorneys argued the little girl accidentally drowned in the family swimming pool and that Anthony panicked and hid the body because of the effects of being sexually abused by her father. The prosecutor in the case, Jeff Ashton, told NBC's ‘Today' show the verdict left him and other prosecutors in shock. From / Gulf News
