Casey Anthony Spotted in Ohio
Casey Anthony, who has avoided the public eye after being acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter, has allegedly been spotted in Ohio.
TMZ recently released photographs of Anthony, 25, shopping for clothing. According to the news source, the Orlando native cleared of murder charges purchased dresses from an Old Navy department store on Sunday.
Anthony was photographed wearing an Ohio State University baseball hat and glasses. TMZ sources stated that Anthony has relatives in Ohio, although they were uncertain about her spending any time with them or where she would be next.

Since being released from jail close to three weeks ago sources close to Anthony said she has been moving around the country, according to TMZ. After being spotted on Sunday, a judge summoned Anthony to return to Orlando to face pending check-fraud charges.
Cheney Mason, Anthony's defense attorney, asked for Judge Stan Strickland's probation order to be excused in an emergency motion to the court. Mason requested for Strickland to "quash, vacate and set aside" the order since it was filed some time ago in January 2010.
The defense attorney stated that the judge's order was "made with a reckless disregard for Ms. Anthony's due process and civil rights," according to The Boston Herald.
Mason also cited a fear for Anthony's safety if she were to return to Orange County.
After her acquittal, the defense attorney said Anthony has received numerous death threats. His motion stated that if Anthony returned to Florida, it will "put her in great peril, as well as impose a significant cost to taxpayers in securing her safety."
As an example, Mason's motion included a specific death threat aimed at Anthony.
"Keep smiling," a photograph with a dot on Anthony's forehead stated. "With a forehead that big, the head shot will be easier."
Strickland is out of court for the week and it is unclear who would hear Mason's motion, according to The Boston Herald. Karen Levey, an administration spokeswoman for the court, said a hearing has yet to be set concerning the probation case, the newspaper reported.
