Casey Anthony released from Florida jail

Dozens of protesters showed up to the Orange County Courthouse on Casey Anthony's sentencing day, & officials are bracing for more when she's released from jail on Sunday.

Changes are already being made at the jail, jail officials said, & barricades are set up for protesters.

The Booking and Release Center parking lot will be shut down Saturday evening, & jail staff said major plans are under way for Anthony's safe & secretive release.

Criminal defense attorney Jeff Deen said, "My best guess is you are not going to see her."

When Anthony is released from jail, as early as 12:01 a.m. Sunday, Deen expects that it will not be anything like the frenzy that's surrounded her exits in the past.

Deen said, "The point now is her safety, that she acclimates back into society. Nobody needs to be in anybody's face with the emotions connected to this case & verdict."

A jail spokesman said the facility has not given Anthony any special treatment, but her release is the exception. The jail's preliminary plan will allow three journalists: a video graphic, a photographer & a reporter to be inside the jail to capture Anthony's final steps to freedom.

Jail officials said the media will be notified by email, once Anthony is a safe distance away.

Deen believes beginning a new life for her will not be easy.

Deen said, "She's O.J. Simpson without the fame, & he never got past the stigma of it."

Outside of the jail, protesters like Bree Thornton will be kept in a grassy area along John Young Parkway. Thornton said she is planning to camp out at the jail 24 hours, not to catch a glimpse of Anthony, but to remember Caylee.

Thornton said, "It is about Caylee, not about Casey. I do not care to look at Casey. I do not want to look into the eyes of a killer."

There's no word from Anthony's attorneys what she will do or where she'll go when she walks out a free woman after 1,005 days in jail. Deen said Anthony can leave the country with a passport, even with civil lawsuits pending.
