1. Latest news in Casey Anthony bankruptcy case
Casey Anthony was catapulted to fame when her two year old daughter went missing in 2008. After
making false claims that her daughter had been kidnapped, it was finally revealed that her daughter had
drowned and was disposed of out of fear. Casey Anthony’s trial sparked a public interest nearly
unparalleled by any other. She was eventually found not guilty of murder. Now she is back in court and
back in the spotlight again, this time for a bankruptcy case. Of particular interest is a lawsuit against her
filed by Texas EquuSearch, the organization that launched a massive search for Casey Anthony’s
daughter before it was revealed that she was already dead.
The lawsuit
Texas EquuSearch filed the lawsuit against Casey Anthony claiming that Casey Anthony already knew
her daughter was dead when the search organization launched the efforts to find her. EquuSearch claims
to have spent approximately 100,000 dollars on the search for Anthony’s daughter and that Anthony
should be responsible for repaying that debt.
The ruling
Casey Anthony’s attorney argued that she should not be responsible for EquuSearch’s decision to search
for her missing daughter and that according to the bankruptcy code, the debt should be discharged in
order to give her a fresh start. The judge ruled in favor of Casey Anthony and gave EquuSearch three
weeks to amend their complaint against her. The ruling has one again sparked a negative response from
the public.
