Casey Anthony Spotted Playing With Baby Amid Reports She Is 'Bored' After Acquittal In Daughter's Murder
Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, was photographed Wednesday playing with a baby while at lunch with her friends at a restaurant in Clearwater, Florida. According to TMZ, the 6-month-old baby with whom Anthony was spotted is the grandson of a veteran NBC producer who is close to the Florida mother.
TMZ published the photos late Wednesday amid a report that the 31-year-old was living a more secluded life than ever. Some sources told People magazine that Anthony doesn’t have enough work or friends.
“There are days that she’s bored out of her mind,” a source who’s in contact with Anthony told People. “There’s nothing really to do. She doesn’t have a huge circle of friends, and the friends she has are all employed elsewhere, so she doesn’t see them 24/7. She binge-watches TV, plays around on the Internet, and doesn’t do much more than that. Frankly, it’s all pointless and aimless.”

Another source, who worked with Anthony's legal team mentioned about her first interview after leaving prison, saying: “There were a lot of people who assumed that she’d someday make big money on her first interview. ... And then she gave it away to the Associated Press (AP). So there are all these people who thought that they were going to be part of it when she made the money, and then Casey went behind their backs and gave an interview for free.
“But that’s just classic Casey,” the source continued. “She does what she wants, and everyone else just has to deal with it.”
Anthony was accused of killing her daughter with chloroform, duct taping her mouth, and throwing her body in a wooded area near her home. The judge who presided over the case, Belvin Perry Jr., said he thought it was likely that Anthony killed her daughter accidentally by using too much chloroform.
In March, Anthony took part in her first interview since being released from prison in 2011.
"I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about me, I never will," she told the AP. "I'm okay with myself, I sleep pretty good at night."
Anthony, who was once dubbed “the most hated mom in America,” said in the interview that she doesn’t know what happened to her daughter the night of her death, adding that she didn't care what anyone thought of her.
Following the AP interview, Anthony received criticism from Nancy Grace, the journalist-turned-crime show TV host.
"No parent in their right mind could ever get over the death of a child," Grace wrote on her website, Crime Online. "With all the mothers and fathers that I’ve dealt with over many, many years, prosecuting their children’s killers, trying to find their missing children, beating the streets to help locate kidnap victims and murder victims, I have never once in all my years had a parent say they sleep pretty good at night when their child has been kidnapped or murdered."
