This decision is a good surprise. It makes no sense for someone to serve probation while incarcerated. It defeats the whole purpose. The verdict in the murder trial left me jaded, so I didn't expect Judge Perry to rule in favor of the state and require her to serve real probation in Orlando. I'm glad he did.
Judge Perry seemed very annoyed with Baez (again) for claiming that he had no obligation to inform anyone that he was aware of the court reporter's error in transcribing Judge Strickland's probation order. He knew that the Dept of Corrections was moving forward against Strickland's order/intent when they started the probation clock last year, but Baez didn't say jack. I don't think he had any idea that his guilty client would be set free.. Still, he should have spoken up back then or just conceded to external probation upon the felon's release.
Bet the residents of Orlando are thrilled that Ms. Anthony is returning to the scene of the crime.
