Lawyer Fears For Casey Anthony's Safety

MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – With Casey Anthony just under a week away from freedom, one of her lawyers believes she may be in danger once she's released.

Cheney Mason said Monday he doesn't know where Casey will go when she's freed on Sunday. Anthony's relationship with her parents is pretty much burned, according to Mason, after the defense claimed she was sexually abused by her father.

Anthony was acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter last week. She was convicted of four counts of lying to law enforcement and sentenced to four-years in jail. But, after good behavior and serving 3 years, she's set to be released.

According to jail records obtained by the Associated Press, Casey Anthony refused a visit last Friday from her mother Cindy.
