Mother in toddler's murder freed | Bangkok Post: news

Casey Anthony, acquitted earlier this month of murdering her toddler daughter in a high profile case that riveted the US public, walked out of a Florida jail early Sunday under tight security.

Anthony, 25, was greeted by a boisterous crowd, some of whom shouted ``killer!'' as she was escorted by police from Orange County Jail to a waiting vehicle just past midnight, and whisked off to an unknown location.

Anthony spent over three years in jail on suspicion of killing her two-year-old daughter Caylee. Acquitted by a jury on July 5, she remained in jail for 12 more days, after being convicted of lying to authorities probing the case.
