PARTY MOM CASEY ANTHONY COST STATE $147,000

BROKE

PARTY mom Casey Anthony's defense team have sent a massive $147,018 bill to the state of Florida, for their work clearing her for the murder of her two-year-old daughter.
A jury astonished most onlookers this earlier this month, when they found her not guilty in the case which some have called the most controversial acquittal since OJ Simpson.
But now in a move that is bound to infuriate taxpayers statewide they've submitted their bill which claims expenses for a range of categories including expert witnesses, mental health evaluations and court reporting services.

According to the Orlando Sentinel  the state has paid $118,847 of those expenses and but refused to fork out nearly $12,000.
The largest portion that has been paid to date is for the category that includes investigative services, mitigation specialist work and subpoena service - totaling up to $67,100, reports the paper. 
Anthony initially paid for her defense with $200,000 she received from ABC News for her family photos and videos, and money from private donors.
But she ran out of money and in March 2010 asked the court to declare her indigent so the state could pay the rest of her defense tab, something Circuit Judge Stan Strickland, the judge initially assigned to the case, agreed to.
Casey has been in hiding since the astonishing ruling, although it's believed she may be in California at the moment.
Her lawyer, Jose Baez who controversially accused both her father an brother of sexually abusing her, without producing a shred of evidence to back up his claims is in New York at the moment, negotiating a lucrative TV deal for his client as we reported here.
It is unclear as to whether they have struck a deal yet.
