ORANGE COUNTY, FL -- Prosecutors want to know how Casey Anthony is paying her legal bills.
Casey and her attorney, Jose Baez, are in court to discuss a potential conflict of interest in her murder case.
The state wants to know if Baez has any book or movie deals to help pay for the eight attorneys on Casey's defense team.
The state's motion reads, her "seeming conversion from pauper to princess did not come from the sale of some tangible asset."
Baez denies any conflict.
Casey (photos) has responded in an affadavit in which she says her agreement with Baez does not contain any "clauses or parts that allow or entitle him to any rights that would allow him to sell my "story" or that of my daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony."
In her own handwriting, Casey added in the affadavit that she believes one of the state prosecutors is "angry" becaused she refused to "take a plea agreement for a crime that I did not commit."
A legal expert told Orlando station WFTV that if Casey's attorney has made some kind of deal to sell her story, she could potentially use that to help form an appeal if she's convicted.
Casey is charged with first-degree murder. Caylee Anthony's skeletal remains were found in December near the home where she and her mother lived (photos).
