Court Rejects Anthony Appeal

Casey Anthony ordered to report to Florida probation office by Friday

By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff

Posted Aug 24, 2011 5:56 AM CDT

(Newser) – Casey Anthony was not serving probation while she was in jail awaiting her murder trial and she must report to a probation office in Florida by noon Friday, an appeals court has decided. The court ruled that the 25-year-old cannot "take advantage" of an administrative error to dodge the sentence from a check fraud conviction, CNN reports. Anthony, who has been in hiding since her release from jail last month, will be required to get a job and stay in Orange County, Florida, unless probation officers grant her permission to leave.

Neighbor: Casey Anthony Borrowed Shovel

... just two days after Caylee was last seen

(NEWSER) - Chilling detail from the Casey Anthony trial today: A neighbor testified that Anthony borrowed a shovel to "dig up a bamboo root" two days after Caylee was last seen alive, reports AP . The testimony came after prosecutors grilled a string of Anthony's friends to drive home a point: She sure didn't act like a concerned mother during the time Caylee was either missing or already dead, reports the Orlando Sentinel .
