Casey Anthony will don disguise, new name once she is released: report

Casey Anthony is getting a make-over.

Acquitted daughter-murder suspect Casey Anthony is reportedly considering using a number of disguises and living under a new name once she is released from the slammer on Sunday.

A source close to the Anthony’s legal team said she was considering using various disguises to alter her appearance, The Chicago Sun-Times reported today.

The source added that Anthony, 25, dismissed a plan to get plastic surgery, but will live in a secret location under a new name.

“There even have been discussions about cosmetic surgery, but Casey has rejected that out of hand,” the insider told the newspaper.

The source added that Anthony “really does not completely understand the depth of hatred out there. She’s fully aware of the various death threats, of course, but she thinks that’s isolated to relatively few nutcases.”

Once she is released, Anthony will be taken to the secret location where she will live under a pseudonym “almost as if she was living in a witness protection-like program” in an effort to avoid being harassed, the newspaper reported.

Anthony was sentenced last week to one year and fined $1,000 for each of the four times she lied to authorities — the stiffest punishment the judge could mete out after Anthony was cleared of murdering 2-year-old Caylee in 2008.

The verdict shocked the country, with many blaming jurors for not doling out justice in the case. Jurors have said the prosecution did not present enough evidence pointing to Anthony as the murderer.

The party-loving defendant, who showed up to her sentencing with a new, jailhouse-glamorous look — a tight fitting sweater, styled locks and lipstick — had expected to walk free, but was stunned to find out she’ll be held in the slammer in Orlando for about another week.

Anthony has served 1,043 days while she awaited trial. With good behavior and time served, Anthony will be released this weekend.
