Casey Anthony filed for bankruptcy in Florida on Friday, claiming about $1,100 in assets and $792,000 in liabilities.
Court records show that Anthony, who was acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee in 2011, sought Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in federal court in Tampa.
Her listed debts include $500,000 for attorney fees and costs for her criminal defense lawyer during the trial, Jose Baez; $145,660 for the Orange County Sheriff's office for a judgment covering investigative fees and costs related to the case; $68,540 for the Internal Revenue Service for taxes, interest and penalties; and $61,505 for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for court costs.

If she is awarded Chapter 7 bankruptcy, she will essentially be "forgiven" of all debt except for taxes (if she had child support, alimony or student loans, those typically wouldn't be forgiven under Chapter 7 either). Her paltry $1,100 in assets would be sold off and go towards that $792,000 debt she's accumulated.
I won't be surprised if she pulls it off.
