The meter reader who discovered the body of Caylee Marie Anthony will get another $2,500 in legal support from taxpayers, Orange County Commissioners decided today.
Roy Kronk, who works for the county's utility department, was already provided with county funding to deal with media and privacy issues related to the discovery.
The additional funds are aimed at dealing with any legal issues that arise with the upcoming criminal proceedings against the girl's mother, Casey Anthony.
Casey Anthony, 23, is charged with first-degree murder in her daughter's death.
Earlier this month, Kronk's attorney, David Evans, wrote in a recent court filing that a request from Anthony's defense team for all of Kronk's cell-phone records was too broad and was not "reasonably calculated" to lead to information related to the case.
The defense's request "constitutes harassment of Mr. Kronk and a substantial invasion of his privacy," Evans wrote.
In December, the toddler's remains were found by Kronk in woods less than a mile from the Anthony home.
Commissioners today approved the additional $2,500 in a consent agenda item, and no commissioner pulled it for discussion, so it passed with a number of other, typically non-controversial county business items.
It sound like they tried to sneak it in so that the public wouldn't notice. This man is profiting from his participation in the case.
