HLN’s Nancy Grace said Thursday that the claims made by Casey Anthony to her own lawyers' mental health experts about her childhood and what happened to her daughter - as revealed in newly released deposition transcripts - are “practically unbelievable.”

In the depositions conducted in April 2011, Dr. Jeffrey Danziger and Dr. William Weitz recounted statements Anthony made to them about being molested as a child and believing her father, George Anthony, was responsible for her daughter Caylee’s death. George Anthony’s attorney issued a statement denying the allegations contained in the documents Wednesday afternoon.

Tot Mom Ordered To Pay Sheriff’s Office Additional $120,000

By Stephen Loiaconi

updated 12:00 PM EDT, Mon September 26, 2011

Judge Belvin Perry has ordered Casey Anthony to pay nearly $120,000 in additional fees to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office for the expenses incurred during the investigation of her daughter Caylee’s disappearance in 2008.

Since Anthony was acquitted of Caylee’s murder, Perry had previously determined that she should only be responsible for reimbursing the costs of the investigation through the point where it shifted from a missing person case to a homicide. He determined that period to be from July 15, 2008 when Caylee was reported missing to September 29, 2008.
