Authorities took no chances releasing Casey Anthony back into the wild. Anthony was acquitted in the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, in Orlando earlier this month, and just days after her release from a Florida jail, Anthony is still making headlines as rumors fly about where she might be. Anthony’s legal team says she has received death threats since her acquittal, prompting a concerted effort to keep her whereabouts unknown to both the public and the press.

When she left the Orange County jail in Florida she traveled by SUV to a defense attorney’s office in downtown Orlando. But where she went from there is anyone’s guess. Various reports have said she then boarded a private plane to California.

  NBC’s “Today” show reported Tuesday that Anthony left Orlando on a plane owned by California attorney Todd Macaluso -- one of her former lawyers -– and that the plane eventually landed at John Wayne Airport. Macaluso says he has no idea where his former client is. “It’s a closely guarded secret I’m not part of. I don’t even want to know.”

Meanwhile, people are still incensed about the verdict much like they were when O.J. Simpson was acquitted of his wife’s death in the mid 1990s. A dunking booth at the Bluegrass Fair in north Lexington, featuring a Casey Anthony look-alike inside, that is causing some to question whether or not it is in bad taste. The booth is called "State Vs. Anthony”  Pay your money and you can pick up a ball and throw it at one of two choices - "guilty" or "innocent." The goal is to hit one of them, knocking the Anthony look-alike into the freezing cold water below. Fair organizers say they came up with the concept to give people a way to vent their frustration over Anthony's not guilty verdict.

 

However, not everyone at the fair thinks this the best idea, and some even say it's in poor taste. Fair organizers say that they just want to give people a way to vent over the verdict.
