ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony isn’t the only one receiving anger after the trial; another Florida woman, who looks like Anthony, has also received much backlash.
L. Concetta Graves often puts her her hair up in a ponytail, and wears a baseball hat and glasses when she goes out. However, lately that look has caused her to be the recipient of much anger.
Graves says people often mistake her for Casey Anthony, the woman aquitted of murdering her daughter, Caylee. "Some guy flung the door open real fast and he's, 'Oh my God, is that Casey Anthony,’” Graves described to WESH News.
Unfortunately, the confrontations are coming more dangerous. This week she was stalked by a man, who didn't believe her when she told him she wasn't Anthony. Last week, Graves and her brother, D.M. Blade, were attacked by three men who shouted "baby killer!" Blade states, "[h]e was punching at me and I was trying to deflect it." Blade ended up with two black eyes.
Graves says she's going to stop pulling her hair back and wearing sunglasses until the Anthony craze ends. "It's dangerous, it's scary, and if my story can help other people say before they react, 'Wait a minute, maybe that's not her', you know, then that's a good thing," she says.
