Admirers shower Casey Anthony with cash gifts: report

For someone who was once accused of killing her child, Casey Anthony sure does have a lot of admirers.

Anthony may be getting death threats following her acquittal, but she is also reportedly receiving checks in the mail from admirers so that she has cash to spend on make-up and snacks while in jail.

Since May, ABCNews.com reports that at least 17 people have sent money orders to Anthony, according to jailhouse records from the Orange County Corrections Department.

As of today, Anthony has $472.18 in her jailhouse account -- nearly $200 more than what was in her account the day she received the verdict.

Casey Anthony smiles before her sentencing.

One stranger donated $100 just this week, the website reported.

The average balance in an Orange County jail inmate's account is $36.30.

One donor even offered Anthony a place to stay when she leaves jail this Sunday.

"If she ever did contact me and wanted to live in the middle of nowhere I have three houses out here...I'm scared for her," said Gary Bradfield, 44, who lives on a ranch in Texas.

He donated $99.40 to Anthony in February 2011 so she'd have money to celebrate her birthday a month later.

"I know she was probably segregated from everybody else. I was like hell, she's got $32 in there. I'll send her a little bit of something," said Bradfield. "I believe that we're all innocent until proven guilty."

Anthony may need more money once she is released.

On Wednesday, a non-profit group served Anthony in jail with a lawsuit seeking to recoup more than $100,000 spent on the massive 2008 search for her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

The lawsuit filed by Texas EquuSearch is the second civil court fight Anthony, acquitted last week of killing Caylee.

A woman named Zenaida Gonzalez has already filed a defamation lawsuit against Anthony after she lied to investigators that a nanny by that name had kidnapped Caylee.

A Florida jury found 25-year-old Anthony not guilty of a first-degree murder charge stemming from the 2008 death of Caylee, whose skeletal remains were later found in woods near the Anthony family home.

Casey Anthony was convicted of misdemeanor charges of lying to detectives during the investigation and sentenced to the maximum four years in jail.

She will be released this weekend after receiving credit for time served awaiting trial and good behavior.
