Casey Anthony: WKMG asks why she’s getting special treatment

WKMG-Channel 6’s fine investigative reporter Tony Pipitone struck an unfamiliar pose tonight: He editorialized about “Casey Anthony’s double secret probation.”

Pipitone started by saying the Florida Department of Corrections is “going out of its way” not to release any information about Anthony’s whereabouts.

Anthony on Wednesday night reported to start a year of supervised probation for check fraud. Pipitone complained that the information this morning at a DOC news conference was “minimal.”

Pipitone explained that Anthony apparently won’t have to work because of security concerns and that she will take online courses.

Then Pipitone revealed that he has a future as an editorial writer. He sounded off: “Other than concealing her whereabouts, keeping her probation officer’s name and gender secret, not requiring her to seek employment and keeping an office open late last night so she could meet her officer undetected, DOC says Casey Anthony is being treated like every other probationer.”

Pipitone stressed that this was all DOC’s call — not a judge’s order — and that the station was challenging it.

What does that mean? WKMG has put in a public records request asking for the documents about Anthony’s probation officer, where she reports and her educational efforts, Pipitone said in an interview.

Anthony was acquitted last month of first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.
