Casey Anthony: What's Next

The million-dollar question in the Casey Anthony saga right now is: what's next?

A million dollars is used figuritivily and literally in this sense. I heard one "expert" of sort saying she certainly could extract $1 million from this case, in various ways. Interviews, the story, a number of media-based appearances and such.

There's no doubt people will be lining up at every opportunity to hear what she has to say. The demand is there, without question. But it's too hot out there for Casey Anthony right now. She can't be parading out front and center because, as her defense attorney Cheney Mason said, "There are idiots everywhere."

Mason spoke candidly about Anthony's future and some trials and tribulations his client has and will encounter.

"You ask her about coming back to the state of Florida. Would you? I wouldn't. The State of Florida tried to kill her," Mason said in the USA Today video.

Mason said Anthony mentioned wanting to work in his law office after release, but Mason says that's "not realistic." He said over 350 people have offered Anthony a place to stay and hundreds have offered jobs.

Mason said he would advise against media appearances and that Anthony isn't looking for money right now, just wants to be left alone.

Mason on Anthony reconciling with family: "I think she has a better reality of some relationship with Lee (her brother)."

On whether she did it: "My soul knew she did not kill that child. I believed it when I talked to her, I looked at the evidence and knew it. She did not kill that child.

For Anthony, staying out of the public eye will be most important for the near future. The first appearance would have to be a trusted news outlet, who came to her, for a televised interview. I wouldn't recommend anything for the first year.

From reports, Anthony has received not only jobs and lodging, but also financial contributions from many people and places. Her defense team will have something set up where she is isn't desperate for money but eventually Anthony will have to earn some income to support herself.

There are plenty of jobs you can do from home and out of the public. Certainly some profit will be made on the story and media appearances, however should be shelved for the first couple of years. For everyone's sake.
