Casey Anthony Teams With TV Producer to Shop $750,000 Interview Special
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Scott Sternberg and his Scott Sternberg Productions have been quietly pitching a no-holds-bared interview with Anthony, who has been lying low since being released July 17 after nearly three years in a Florida jail.

Multiple sources say Sternberg is asking between $500,000 and $750,000 to deliver Anthony, a hefty license fee to be sure. According to sources with knowledge of the proposal, networks can choose the interviewer and Scott Sternberg Productions would co-produce the program. But so far, multiple cable networks have declined. Spokespeople for Discovery Communications' TLC and ID confirmed that the networks have passed on the project. A&E Networks, which includes Lifetime and A&E, also has passed, says a spokesperson.

HLN has not been approached, says a network spokesperson, who adds that the cable news network would not pay for an interview with Anthony anyway. MSNBC has also not been pitched the project. But sources at the NBCUniversal-owned cable channel also say they would not pony up for Anthony, who has become the target of national outrage since her acquittal.

In fact, Anthony’s pariah status has already spurred news divisions to publicly disavow the common and age-old practice of licensing personal photos and home video from interview subjects as a fig leaf to paying outright for interviews. And ABC News, CBS News and NBC News all have stated adamantly that they would not pay for an Anthony interview specifically.

Further complicating matters is that while the interview would likely be a ratings hit, it is not likely to be a moneymaker since it would be difficult to get advertisers to support a program that featured Anthony.

“It will get very good ratings,” muses one cable source. “But who would want to put their ads in that kind of show?”

“The backlash would not be worth it,” says another cable executive.

MSNBC recently became the target of criticism for licensing a British documentary for a reported $500,000 about Dr. Conrad Murray. The license fee came with a pre-verdict interview with Michael Jackson’s former doctor, who was convicted of manslaughter last month in the 2009 death of the pop star. The film's producer, U.K.-based October Films, said that Murray was paid only a "contractual notional $1" for his cooperation.

It's safe to say interest in Anthony remains intense almost six months after she walked out of a Florida prison a free woman; the 24-year-old’s furtive movements have been breathlessly chronicled in blog posts that have put her everywhere from Ohio to Puerto Rico to holed up on Geraldo Rivera’s yacht.

Lets just hope she slips, and says something they can re-try her on

Someone will buy it and millions will watch it. Sad fact of American life is that we deify murderers and criminals and vilify the police.

Double jeopardy even applies to murder unless the judge stays the case I believe. She could confess to everything and they can't re-try her if everything I've seen on Law and Order is accurate.

The lawyers can come up with a lot of new charges and change the "degree" of murder and it is off to the races again. If she confesses, there is no way in hell she will walk scott free. Our system may have it HUGE flaws, but this case was too high profile to allow that to happen.

As for the interview....scheduled lies as opposed to spontaneous ones. Trust me, she won't say a WORD without someone telling her it is ok.

Who has already been released from prison, 6 years ago. If anyone doesn't know the details of that case, and wants to be outraged, look it up.
