Leonard Padilla subsequently rescinded the $500,200 in bail due to a lack of cooperation from Casey Anthony.On September 5, 2008, Casey Anthony was released again on bail after being fitted with an electronic tracking device. Her $500,000 bond was posted anonymously, and later revealed that her parents, Cindy and George Anthony, signed a promissory note for the bond. Casey Anthony was arrested a third time on September 15, 2008, on new charges of theft, and was released shortly afterward. On October 14, 2008 Casey Anthony was indicted by a grand jury on charges of first-degree murder and was arrested for the fourth time. She entered a plea of not-guilty to the charges that she killed Caylee.
