ORLANDO, Fla. -- Offers are rolling in for one of the most iconic pieces of evidence in Casey Anthony's murder trial -- her white Pontiac Sunfire.

The car is still in the possession of the Orange County Sheriff's Office, which says the car can be picked up anytime by George and Cindy Anthony, who own the car.
Their attorney, Mark Lippman, told WESH 2 News he's been getting calls from people interested in buying the car.

The names of jurors in the Casey Anthony murder trial will remain secret until at least October 25 to allow those enraged by her acquittal to "compose and restrain themselves," according to the judge's order on Tuesday.


Perry lamented what he said was the blurring of lines between news and entertainment, saying court proceedings have become just another form of mindless entertainment and a revenue source for broadcast networks.

"It was reported that television ratings for the trial were extraordinary. Clearly, the broadcast of an official and serious court proceeding such as this trial where a young girl was dead and her mother faced the death penalty devolved into cheap, soap-opera-like entertainment," Perry wrote.

"Unquestionably, use of Florida public records laws by the media ... has become simply a tool to sell a story. It is time that Florida's public records laws recognize this fact," Perry wrote.

Judge shares perspective on pressure in high-profile cases, such as the Casey Anthony murder trial

In a rare invitation, Judge Tharpe agreed to talk about the Casey Anthony case. Until now, a sitting judge has not offered a perspective on how Judge Belvin Perry, who presided over the trial, handled the case.
"I don't envy Judge Perry. I would not have wished to have a case of that magnitude. God bless him for what he did," Tharpe said.

Because of his position, Judge Tharpe could not share his opinion of the verdict. But, said if it was guilty, he felt all of Perry's decisions would have held up if they were appealed. And that was an example to anyone sitting on the bench, even seasoned veterans like him.

"I think Judge Perry has followed the letter of the law. I was really proud of what he did at the trial," Tharpe said.
