Where is Casey Anthony and is where is she going to meet her probabtion officer?

Where is Casey? Is she in witness protection? I may be mistaken, but I thought that witness protection was for Federal Cases and witnesses that testified in order to convict the "bigger fish" in the outcome of a trial. I understand that Casey has had death threats, but aren't there many others who put their lives on the line everyday in order to put the "bad guys" behind bars. I guess I am actually confused, as a Paralegal Student, as to why we are protecting someone who received the ultimate "not guilty" verdict that many criminals would give anything in order to receive.

She now has to report to a probation officer and that is causing a problem in order to keep her identity confidential. I am not taking up for Casey in any way; however, why if her life was so important was  the judge in charge of the case involving fraudulent checks allowed to wait and amend the terms of probabtion until after the verdict was rendered? I would be interested in someone else's aspect or view of the terms involved in this decision, especially, someone who is studying in the legal field and who is unbiased.
