Casey Anthony Verdict: Legal expert advises Casey "do the exact opposite" of O.J.
(CBS) - Since Casey Anthony's acquittal on the most serious charges in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, there has been a lot of speculation about book deals, movie deals and even pornography, but according to a legal expert she needs to take some time to living "under the radar."

On Tuesday, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. Anthony was found guilty of four lesser charges of providing false information to a law enforcement officer, but is unlikely, say legal experts, to serve any additional time in jail.
"My advice to Casey would be to take a page out of O.J.['s book] - and do the exact opposite," says criminal defense attorney Elizabeth Kelley about how to behave when she is released from jail, potentially Thursday.
Kelley explained that after former football player O.J. Simpson was acquitted in the 1994 deaths of his ex-wife and her friend, he lived as an "aging playboy" and never made something out of himself with the opportunity he was given with his acquittal.
According to Kelley, Anthony "should concentrate on being a good citizen, which includes not going to parties and being the crazy 22-year-old that she used to be."
TMZ reported that Steve Hirsch, co-chair of adult entertainment company Vivid, has already tried to contact Anthony's attorney Jose Baez about working with Anthony.
While others are speculating that many more entertainment industry offers will follow, allowing Anthony to profit from the story that captured the nation, Kelley believes it is going to take quite some time for people to accept her.
"Though she was acquitted by a jury of her peers, there are a lot of people out there that still believe she is guilty," Kelley said. "If she gives herself some time, then she could possibly emerge from all the controversy."
Anthony has been in jail since her October 2008 arrest on first-degree murder charges. The case began in July 2008 when Caylee Anthony was reported missing.
