Casey Anthony Busted Again

Posted Aug 30, 08 6:49 AM CDT in US Crime & Courts 

(Newser) – Casey Anthony, bailed out of jail last week on charges connected with the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter Caylee, was rearrested last night on check fraud and theft charges. A crowd outside her parents' Florida home cheered and jeered, calling her a murderer and baby killer, as officers led her away, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Investigators say Anthony fraudently used checks that belonged to a friend last month and this arrest is not connected to her daughter's disappearance.

The 22-year-old's lawyer slammed the arrest as police grandstanding but cops said the timing was not significant. A group of volunteers is gathering this morning near the Anthony home to search for Caylee. Anthony—whose $500,000 bail on charges of child neglect and obstructing an investigation was paid by a California bounty hunter—is being held on $3,000 bond.

This is nothing more than an attempt by law enforcement to play mind games with my client. They clearly wanted the media to capture my client in the worse possible light. - José Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney
