She’s Baaack!

Casey Anthony, the infamous mother, who last year was acquitted of murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, has resurfaced. A video diary, purportedly filmed on October 13, 2011, and placed on the Internet on Wednesday, has given Anthony another opportunity to grab the media spotlight and the attention that many believe she craves.
