Anthony pleaded guilty in January 2010 of stealing checks from Amy Huizenga, her friend at the time, and writing a series of checks totaling $644.25. However, when it came to time to hand down punishment, there was confusion as to when she was supposed to start serving her probation sentence. Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland signed a document in 2010 allowing Anthony to serve her year of probation and her custody sentence while awaiting trial for murder concurrently. Yet, according to Orange County State Attorney Representative Randy Means, what Strickland originally signed and what he intended became two different things after she was released from jail.
Earlier today, Strickland amended the court order to include the words "upon release" to the documents dictating when her probation would begin.
"From my reading of this, she should be reporting to probation in Orlando probably within 72 hours," Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland said after signing the amended document.
Since being released from jail, Anthony has all but disappeared from the public eye. She has not commented on this newest development in her saga. There is no word on whether her defense team will appeal the decision.
Back in 2010, she expressed an apology to Huizenga.
"I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm sorry for what I did,” said Anthony at her check fraud sentencing. “I take complete and full responsibility for my actions, and I'd like to apologize to Amy. I wish I'd been a better friend."
