ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A judge has ruled that Casey Anthony is indigent and can use public money to pay for part of her defense against charges that she murdered her 2-year-old daughter.
Circuit Judge Stan Strickland issued the ruling Friday, a day after her attorney disclosed that ABC had paid the Florida mother and her relatives $200,000 for exclusive use of family photos and videos.
In his ruling, the judge said all costs for the defense will be submitted to the court to make sure they comply with rates and caps on spending.
Anthony has pleaded not guilty and has said a baby sitter kidnapped her daughter, Caylee. The toddler's remains were found in December 2008, six months after she was reported missing.
Anthony's trial is scheduled to start in May 2011.
