(Newser) – Casey Anthony is broke: As the Orlando Sentinel reports, the 26-year-old has filed for bankruptcy protection, saying that she owes nearly $800,000 and has $1,084 in the bank. She's also facing three civil lawsuits, including one from Zenaida Gonzalez on grounds of defamation related to the 2008 disappearance and death of Anthony's daughter, Caylee. "This most recent filing appears to be yet another calculated delay tactic. We are not deterred and will stay the course," says Gonzalez's lawyer. Anthony called the bankruptcy filing "the next step towards closure for me."

The AP breaks Anthony's debts down thusly:

  • $500,000 for attorney fees and costs for criminal defense lawyer, Jose Baez
  • $145,660 for the Orange County Sheriff's office for a judgment covering investigative fees and costs related to the case
  • $68,540 for the Internal Revenue Service for taxes, interest, and penalties
  • $61,505 for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for court costs.

RLM357 - you are a joke! I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say CA is paying you to post in her defense! There was no "supposition" that Caylee had duct tape wrapped around her head, mouth and nose, there was no "supposition" that CA's car "smelled like a dam dead body", there was no "supposition" that CA did computer searches on neck breaking, chloroform (though Cindy lied "perjury" and not just about this, you have heard of perjury in your years of experience haven't you), CA attorney lied (just like Cindy, George and Casey) more than once in his statements in court and to the court.  The jury simply wanted to go home and decided they would rather have a murderer go free than spend the Holiday sequestered rather than another week or two for the Guilt phase. I find it hard to believe that 12 of them were that stupid so there can be no other answer. They should be ashamed and it is no wonder they continue to hide... they should! I for the life of me (having spent years in the criminal justice field and in a court room) understand that of all the liars on the stand no one was charged and the attorney wasn't even sanctioned for his lies. Anyone else when they commit 3 robberies in one day or one week or what ever it is three charges, you write 6 bad checks it is 6 charges, you rape someone and there are at least 5 charges even though it is the same person same place etc that is the way the law works and if you had "extensive experience" (yes I spelled it correctly) you would know that! It is not unusual for someone that lies to LE sending them on wild goose chases to have to pay the cost. Actually anyone convicted of anything pays fines and costs that is normal. As a resident of Florida I am embarrassed the dog wagged the tail through the entire investigation and trial. If you followed this so closely then you know George did not kill Caylee... go back to the jail tapes since you are so knowledgeable when CA was talking to Cindy and George.  Hope you got paid before she filed Bankruptcy ...lol
