Sheriff's spokesman Capt. Angelo Nieves said George and Cindy Anthony have received at least a half-dozen phone calls in which death threats were made, reports the Orlando Senitnel.
Authorities are now investigating the threats and checking the credibility.
"We are assessing," Nieves said, reports the paper. "We are also making an effort to indentify the callers."
On Thursday, Judge Belvin Perry sentenced Anthony to one year in jail, to be served consecutively, on each of four counts of providing false information to law enforcement as well as a fine of $1,000 for each count, plus court costs.
Judge Belvin Perry and attorneys tried to figure out her credit for time served and good behavior after her sentencing hearing. A court official announced she would be released from jail on Wednesday, but late Thursday night after further calculations her projected release date was changed to July 17, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.
After the sentencing, protesters chanted Caylee's name outside the courthouse as well as "Justice for Caylee," reports the station.
On Tuesday, Anthony was acquitted on first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter charges in the death of her daughter, Caylee.
