Casey Anthony Latest News: 'Death Threats' Foil Job Search
Casey Anthony, voted most hated person in America, was permitted more time Monday to find a job due to recent death threats and a tough economy.
“Many of our probationers are unemployed in this economy, and since Ms. Anthony has received several death threats from the public, she is particularly handicapped in that area,” Department of Corrections spokeswoman Jo Ellyn Rackleff told the Christian Post.
Florida’s Department of Corrections reported that Anthony, who began her one-year probation sentence in August, told her probation officer that she has not had a job in the past month and has not used any illegal drugs.

According to the monthly Anthony report released by the Department of Corrections, “[Casey Anthony] answered all questions from her probation officer and continues to be compliant.”

“She couldn’t just go work at Wendy’s,” Rackleff told CP.
Anthony’s probation officer has awarded her more time to find a job, due to her extenuating circumstances as a controversial public figure.
She has been voted “The Most Hated Person In America” according to Ledger magazine.

She has recently been fined $217,000 in costs related to the investigation of Caylee’s disappearance and death.
Anthony is currently serving probation for an unrelated check fraud case. In 2010 she was found guilty of six counts of check fraud after she used her friend’s checkbook to purchase $400 worth of clothing and groceries.
The 25-year-old continues to remain in hiding at an undisclosed location in Fla. Casey Anthony has yet to address the public in an interview.
