Casey Anthony Most Hated Person in America: Poll
Casey Anthony is the most hated person in America, says a new poll that tracks public perceptions of celebrities.
A Florida jury recently acquitted Anthony on charges that she murdered her then 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. The Tot Mom has been in hiding since her release from jail in July, but the public doesn’t seem to have forgotten about the infamous six-week trial that left millions outraged and confused.
According to the poll released on Wednesday by E-Poll Market Research, Anthony is more disliked than the “Octomom,” former football star O.J. Simpson and Paris Hilton.
