Casey Anthony gave up the rights to sell her life story to settle bankruptcy case, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Last March, trustee Stephen L. Meininger filed a motion seeking permission to sell "the exclusive worldwide rights ... of Anthony's life story," the Sentinel reports. Meininger reportedly claimed Anthony's story is property and can be sold to pay her more than $790,000 debt.
"Anthony's bankruptcy attorneys have opposed Meininger's motion, saying it creates a 'slippery slope that would have dangerous repercussions far beyond the scope of this case,'" according to the Sentinel.
The two sides discussed a resolution and decided to order the authorization to "compromise a controversy between the Estate and the Debtor relating to intellectual property rights, the right of publicity and commercialization of the Debtor's life story."
According to the Sentinel, both sides reportedly agreed "alleged property interest is novel and has not been addressed by any case law that the parties have been able to discover."
Anthony also agreed to a $25,000 settlement, meaning she now owes significantly less than when she filed the case.
Anthony was acquitted of the murder charges on July 5, 2011, stemming from the death of her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. Anthony was convincted of lying to police officers.
Since the little girl's death, lawmakers have fought to strengthen laws on reporting missing children.
"We found with the Casey Anthony trial that there was a loophole", bill sponsor Rep. Juandalynn Givan, D-Birmingham, told AL.com "She was not convicted by a jury of her peers for the actual crime of murder, but she could at least have been convicted for failing to notify authorities."
Caylee's Law, goes into effect in Alabama on Aug. 1, 2013, stating that there is no specific time frame where parents must report a missing child. Failure to tell authorities means the parent(s) is guilty of reckless disregard for the child's safety.
"This is just another tool in the prosecutor's toolbox," Sen. Bryan Taylor, R-Prattville, told AL.com.
Anthony failed to report her daughter missing for 31 days, and the little girl's skeletal remains were later found inside a trash bag.
