Casey Anthony spotted shopping in Ohio

Casey Anthony can run, but she can’t hide!

The universally loathed, once-accused child killer turned up in Ohio with a new slouchy-shopper look as she tried to blend in at a mall, in the first pictures taken of her since she beat a Florida murder rap.

Anthony — an Ohio State Buckeyes baseball cap pulled tightly over her face — has been under cover since jurors in Orlando cleared her of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.

Her frayed blue jeans and skintight T-shirt are a far cry from the subdued image she presented during her sensational murder trial — and in a slew of sexy pictures showing her partying hard in Florida in the weeks after her baby girl was reported missing.

Now she’s wearing clunky designer frames and blue contact lenses to conceal her natural brown eyes — and has packed on the pounds to a once-slender frame.

Anthony was snapped in an Old Navy store clawing through racks of clothes in an apparent search for a wardrobe to accommodate her new zaftig figure.

But her next close-up won’t be in Orlando this morning, as previously scheduled.

A judge put off an earlier ruling that Anthony had to check in with probation officers there, stemming from a 2010 check-fraud conviction.

Defense lawyers argue that she served probation while in jail before and during her controversial murder trial.

Judge Belvin Perry, who handled Anthony’s murder trial, scheduled a hearing on the probation issue for tomorrow.

Defense lawyer José Baez said his client must be set free and left alone.

“This thing is over and done,” he told NBC’s “Today” show. “And for some reason, things seem to keep coming up again for no apparent reason.”

Anthony is putting together her new life three years after the sickening disappearance and death of little Caylee.

The adorable child was just shy of her third birthday when she vanished and was later found buried in a shallow grave — a horrific incident that prosecutors pinned on the girl’s hard-partying mom.

Jurors on July 5 cleared Casey Anthony of murder, and only nailed her for lying to cops.

She was sprung from jail on July 17, and hadn’t been seen — until now.
