Casey Anthony won't have to pay most of debts

Casey Anthony will not have to pay most of the thousands of dollars of debts listed in her bankruptcy case, a judge ruled Tuesday.

The ruling from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge K. Rodney May does not close Anthony's case and does not determine how much money, if any, will be paid to her creditors.

Anthony filed for bankruptcy in January, listing more than $792,000 in debts. She owed the most money to Jose Baez, the defense attorney who represented her during her high-profile murder trial.

Tuesday's bankruptcy discharge order eliminates Anthony's legal obligation to pay most, but not all, debts listed in her case.

It is unclear what debts Anthony may have to pay, but among the types that generally are not discharged are: debts for taxes, student loans, fines and restitution for criminal cases, and "debts that the bankruptcy court specifically has decided or will decide in this bankruptcy case are not discharged."
