Casey Anthony Release Date Pushed Back

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orange County Corrections Department issued a press release late Thursday evening that projects Casey Anthony will be released on July 17, 2011.

According to the release, July 13, 2011, the date provided to the court earlier on Thursday, is no longer correct.

"After receiving the signed order this afternoon on the sentencing of Casey Marie Anthony, Orange County Corrections conducted a detailed recalculation of the projected release date. The projected release date is now Sunday, July 17, 2011," the statement, released by public information officer Allen Moore, read.

In regard to Anthony's release, Moore added: "Due to the high profile nature of this case and intense, emotional interest by the public, appropriate measures will be taken to release the individual into the community in such a manner so as to preserve the safety of the individual and the public."

Anthony, 25, was acquitted on Tuesday of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, but she returned to court in Orlando on Thursday for sentencing on four lesser counts of lying to police officers about the disappearance of her child.

Chief Judge Belvin Perry sentenced Anthony to four years for lying to police during the investigation into Caylee's 2008 death, but he counted the 1,043 days she had already served after being arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

On the morning of Casey Anthony's sentencing, some 30 to 40 demonstrators -- including Orlando resident Flora Reece -- rallied in front of the courthouse, chanting "no justice" and carrying signs. Reece said she has followed the case from the beginning. "This jury needs to go to another planet," she told The Huffington Post. "When someone does not report their daughter missing for 31 days that is evidence. That is a part of evidence. Where is the common sense in this country anymore?" (Photo: David Lohr)

How can Judge Perry SIGN an order saying Ms. Anthony will be out on Juy 13 and then jail officials recounted for hours and decided that July 17 was correct? I do not believe that was done, I believe she will be out today, July 13 as Judge Perry declared and signed for her. Could he sentence someone to whatever and then change his mind after judging? I think not, he can't take it back, just as the jury cannot take back their judgement.....just sayin'

Something is wrong in this country for people to still be freaking out about this case. No one KNOWS what happened. Not you, not me, not Casey's parents. No one except Casey knows. She was found not guilty from lack of evidence. Get over it and move on. Look at the children next door and around the corner and walking home from school and safeguard THEM.

She lied to authorities about her daughter. The system failed. This SHOULD be a concerned to EVERYONE. Seems like you're empathizing with casey. BTW, GOOD parents DO SAFEGUARD THEIR KIDS. They don't need people like you to tell them that.

"Casey should marry Drew Peterson" is the cleverest of the bunch!

Casey Anthony has said that as soon as she gets out of jail, she wants to get pregnant and have a baby boy. Good for her! After all... what could possible go wrong.?

They should tie her tubes.

Where does that come from? The mother of my grand-daughter had an abortion and out of her guilt from that decided to get pregnant again. The latest thing "guilt pregnancy".

It's no surprise that only the nuts would be happy to marry her. Looks like she has many potential husbands now.

Despite that, I do not believe that any amount of security could protect her from any of the dangers that she will face after getting out of prison this weekend.

So far, all I'm hearing from is all the haters, nutters, and wannabe vigilantes. I can't wait to read her book, and see her side of the story.

That book will probably be filled with lies....who cares.

You're probably filled with lies.

Semper Fi Brother. You're right. Her lies as well as her parent's lies. In the end though, you & I know who they'll answer to. They said SHE drowned ? Well guess what they get. Mathew 18:6.

[peaches1921]

08:38 PM on 07/11/2011

We already know her side.....Only someone of the same caliber as this deadbeat would be interested in her book of lies...

[Boo2You2]

09:54 PM on 07/11/2011

That's funny, peaches :) Why so miserable??

Anyway, I hope it's not too long before her book comes out.

To quote the article; ["After receiving the signed order this afternoon on the sentencing of Casey Marie Anthony, Orange County Corrections conducted a detailed recalculation of the projected release date."]

SIGNED order already released her on the 13th. 17th is a red herring--is my educated guess and because the order had already been signed.

[Garry Meyer]

04:57 PM on 07/12/2011

I do believe your right. The court signed the release for the 13th. Perhaps this is a illustion to protect her from the crowd that will be gathering on the 17th. We'll see

People are convicted of murder everyday without a body..There was more than enough circumstancial evidence in this case.....Caylee was last seen with her deadbeat mother, caylee is missing for 31 days, Caylee ends up dead in swamp..What more do you want
If Cindy and George were somehow not in the picture, that baby would still be in that swamp and Casey would still be living the god life...

• Casey writes she ‘wants to give money to charity’
• Casey ‘plans to write a book’ according to letters
• Casey Anthony revealed that she wants to be a mother again in jailhouse correspondence

I believe that Casey Anthony's behavior is psychopathic/sociopathic but, according to most psychiatrists and psychologists, there is no known treatment or cure for that condition. As bizarre as it may sound, an exorcism may be what's called for in her case, and others like her. For many years, I was a sceptic about such things, but the longer I live, I've come to realize that some people may, in fact, be possessed with something that is inherently evil.

The behaviors, of people like Case Anthony, Joran Van der Sloot, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer and many other infamous murderers that we have heard about, defy any rational or moral explanation, and exorcism may be the only answer in addressing what afflicts them, and ultimately save potential victims. Most importantly, if this affliction is recognized by their parents and done early enough, it may be the only way to keep them from the initial harming and killing of others. Since we have no other way of stopping these people exorcism may, at least, be worth a try.

You can not possibly be serious....

[alexandra23]

01:07 AM on 07/10/2011

Quite serious.

[paulthamec]

08:46 PM on 07/11/2011

Thats a thought...sociopaths and psychopaths have been here since mans evoloution, explain why you would think exorcism would work...i say put em to death let god deal with it.

[wheres ur morals]

[paulthamec]

08:48 PM on 07/11/2011

[dgregory23]

So, the police will know where to look if something happens.

Maybe all you "citizens" will think twice before trying to get out of jury duty.

A jury found her inocent of Murder. Let her be and allow her to get her life together if she ever can.

[Martin Beck]

11:10 AM on 07/09/2011

yea I agree .

[jingles32]

11:52 AM on 07/09/2011

They most certainly did NOT find her "innocent;" she was found "not guilty," a huge difference. In our system of justice, juries do not determine innocence. And if you listen to what the few jurors who have spoken have said, they in fact did believe she was most likely the one who caused her death, but didn't believe there was sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction. I believe the words one juror used in describing having to declare her not guilty was, "it made us sick."

[Boo2You2]

12:57 PM on 07/09/2011

Whether you like it or not, she is presumed innocent. I know that a lot of hateful people would like to twist it otherwise, but it just ain't so.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocent_until_proven_guilty

She was not proven guilty, therefore she is presumed innocent, all the nutters not withstanding.

[Asuigeneris1]

06:26 PM on 07/09/2011

She was innocent until proven guilty and was NEVER proven guilty, please learn the laws of our country. : P
