Kronk Seeking More Money For Anthony Case Fees

WESH- -- Orange County commissioners are expected on Tuesday to approve spending more taxpayer money for Roy Kronk's legal representation.

Commissioners are scheduled to decide on spending an additional $2,500 to pay the lawyer for the former meter reader who discovered Caylee Anthony's remains while on duty.

That brings the total now to $15,000 in taxpayer money paid to Kronk's lawyer since December. The item is on the consent agenda and should be approved without discussion.

Kronk discovered Caylee's remains in Orange County woods in December, three months after he made an initial call to authorities about his suspicions.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, is charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death. She is being held in Orange County Jail on no bond.

Her trial is scheduled to start no earlier than October.

Kronk has faced depositions about what he saw as well as requests from Anthony's defense attorneys for phone records.
