Casey Anthony Case Made Into Play Called “Tot Mom”
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The Casey Anthony case is coming to a stage in Australia. A play called “Tot Mom” will be headlining at the Sydney Theatre Company in Australia starting in late December.
The mastermind behind the idea is Oscar-Winning director Steven Soderbergh who is famous for directing movies like the Ocean’s Eleven series and Erin Brokovich.

According to the company’s web site, Soderbergh uses, “Excerpts from transcripts of Nancy Grace’s show, court documents and police reports to create a compelling drama for our sensation-hungry times.”
The play will run December 18 through January 31.

County fires worker who found Caylee’s remains
Roy Kronk, the utility meter reader who found Caylee Anthony’s bones, has been fired by Orange County.
Kronk was terminated late Tuesday after failing to attend a disciplinary hearing for an as-yet-undisclosed issue, records show.
“Roy Kronk was scheduled to attend a pre-determination hearing yesterday to address issues pertaining to his employment with the County. He failed to show for the hearing, and a decision has been issued terminating his employment effective immediately,” the county wrote Kronk’s lawyer. “Therefore, the County shall not pay any legal fees associated with representing Mr. Kronk that are incurred from this point forward.”
The letter was written by Assistant County Attorney Peter A. Lichtman to Orlando lawyer David Evans, who had been paid by the county to represent Kronk after the skeletal remains were found in December.
“We appreciate the courtesy and professionalism you have demonstrated throughout your excellent representation of Mr. Kronk,” Lichtman wrote. “Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.”
Kronk had been working most recently in Orange County Utility’s fiscal and administrative support division.
The county fired Kronk for failing to attend a pre-determination hearing on Tuesday, one step in the county’s disciplinary process which can end in termination.
“He was basically unable to perform the essential functions of his job,” said Ron Nielsen, interim Deputy Director of Orange County Utilities. “I’m not at liberty to discuss the reasons why.”
Kronk most recently was working in the utilities warehouse as an inventory specialist responsible for receiving, issuing and repairing supplies. The utility employs about 800 workers, said Nielsen.
Kronk found the missing child’s remains on Dec. 11, after previously searching the samea wooded lot near the Anthony home in the Chickasaw Oaks neighborhood in August. At the time, he was assigned to check utility meters for the county.
The discovery of Caylee Anthony’s remains was a major development in the case over the toddler’s disappearance which was first reported to authorities in July a month after her mother Casey Anthony says she disappeared.
The meter reader’s successful sleuthing was an intense embarrassment to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office which had searched the area and failed to find anything. A deputy who responded to a 911 call made by Kronk in August about suspicious-looking items in the wooded lot was fired for failing to adequately investigate the information.
Sudden fame followed the discovery.
Orange County hired Evans of the Mateer Harbert law firm to represent Kronk believing he would be overwhelmed by media requests for interviews. The county set a $10,000 limit on Evans’ bills, which had to be raised $2,500 more even after Evans discounted his hourly rate about $100 to $225 an hour, records show.
Until then, Kronk had been a low-profile, $10.60-an- hour county worker. His discovery landed him on Good Morning America TV show in January. He later was given $5,000 by Orlando lawyer Mark NeJame, money NeJame had earned representing George and Cindy Anthony, the parents of Caylee Anthony’s mother, Casey SOURCE: Orlando Sentinel 11:17 a.m. EDT, October 29, 2009
Judge Strickland is da man. He’s not going to allow the trial to be moved after hearing the A’s and Baez and his crew are the ones going on the talk shows,48hrs running their mouths about this case. If you don’t live in Florida or go on blogs there really isn’t very much news about this case now cept for them hitting prime time TV. Even for people who live in Florida I’m sure if they took a pole they’d find out there’s a lot of them who haven’t paid much attention to the case if any. I don’t agree with Fannings saying 90% of America knows about Caylee. I know lots of people who haven’t. They have more important things to do than watch the news or NG,JVM.
Save the taxpayer’s some $ and stay in Orlando.

Caylee is not getting justice in this case at all. It has become exactly what Casey wished for; hollywood news and Casey getting famous. What about the 2 year old who was murdered, went missing for 31 days BEFORE it even being reported. As for Kronk, he did the right thing and tried to report the body in AUGUST and again in DECEMBER 2008. What is the real deal? A tragic comedy of errors or perfectly plotted because Casey almost got away with the body being never found. Who else is involved? No one but Casey and her family– Yes or No? It seems there are a lot of hangers ons here and the real issues is being forgotten being the murder of a two year old beautiful child by her psycho mom. God help us find justice for Caylee and the rest of the vultures can go to hell!!!!!!!
