Lawyers in the first-degree murder case against Casey Anthony are slated to argue this morning about her prior felony convictions in a check-fraud case.

The state wants to be able to tell jurors about the convictions, which occurred in January 2010 when Casey pleaded guilty to 13 charges. Orange County Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland -- the judge who formerly presided over the murder case -- found Anthony guilty on six of the charges: one count of grand theft, four counts of check forgery, and fraudulent use of personal identification

Strickland withheld adjudication for the remaining seven counts.

Anthony, now 25, was sentenced to time-served. At that point, she had already served 412 days in jail. Strickland also ordered her to one year of probation and ordered her to pay the court and investigative costs associated with the check-fraud case.
