The Orange County Jail performed an inquiry into Anthony's fall and found that her leg shackles became tangled in the elevator jamb which caused her to fall forward. She was also shackled at the waist and wasn't able to break her fall.
The inquiry found that the corrections officer escorting Anthony was in compliance with the jail's escort/transport policy, according to the report.
Anthony suffered a broken tooth, a bruised knee and a busted lip after she fell in an elevator while on her way to a hearing in her murder case.
Anthony provided a statement on Wednesday that said she was being escorted from the 19th to the 23rd floor via an elevator when, while stepping into the elevator, the chains of her leg shackles became wedged in the door shaft and she fell forward.
