September 4, 2008 Casey Anthony posts $500,000 bond

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The mother of a missing Florida toddler is
getting out of jail again.

Orange County officials confirmed that Casey Anthony has posted
$500,000 bond for the second time and should leave jail by Friday
morning. She is charged with child abuse and making false
statements to investigators.

Her daughter, 3-year-old Caylee Anthony, was reported missing in
mid-July from Orlando. The girl hadn't been seen for a month before
Anthony told authorities.

Detectives have said Anthony's trunk had contained a decomposing
body and that it was likely her daughter's. However, no other
charges have been filed against Anthony.

Prosecutors asked for a high bond, hoping Anthony wouldn't be
able to get out.
