ORLANDO, Fla (Reuters) - A judge ruled on Friday that Casey Anthony, the young mother acquitted of murdering her toddler, must be in Florida by noon on August 26 to serve probation on a 2010 check fraud conviction.
Judge Belvin Perry rejected a defense team motion that argued Anthony, 25, already served her probation while in jail awaiting trial on a charge of murder connected to the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.
The sentencing judge at the time had intended that Anthony's probation begin upon her release from jail.
