ORANGE COUNTY, FL -- The county meter reader who discovered
Caylee Anthony's remains began a new job on Monday.
Roy Kronk's attorney says his client will be out of the public eye, working in a warehouse doing inventory control. Kronk found himself in the national spotlight in December after he found Caylee's remains in a wooded area not far from her home.
Since then, he has been the subject of public speculation that includes conspiracy theories. "There have been some very threatening online postings," attorney David Evans told the Orlando Sentinel.
Kronk's daily routine as a meter reader made him accessible and vulnerable.
In a recent interview on Good Morning America, Kronk said he felt vilified. "People actually believe some of the things that are being said and I have nothing to do with this at all," he told Robin Roberts.
Evans said Kronk applied for the new job before he found the remains.
PROSECUTORS NOT READY FOR CASEY ANTHONY'S MURDER TRIALThe date for
Casey Anthony's murder trial remains up in the air. During a hearing on Friday, Prosecutors told Circuit Court Judge Stan Strickland they don't anticipate being ready until later this year at the earliest.
Strickland denied a motion by Casey's defense team to have prosecutors removed from her murder case.
Anthony attorney Jose Baez said a complaint against him from someone in the State Attorney's office to the Florida Bar was prejudicial and an effort to interfere with his client's right to counsel.
The state argued that the request was not proper and that none of the prosecutors involved in the case filed the complaint.
Judge Strickland denied the motion saying it lacked any basis.
Casey showed up in court wearing a pants suit and her hair in a bun, a major departure from the blue jail-issued jumpsuit she wore the last time she was in court. On Thursday, judge Strickland ruled that Casey is required to appear in court for every hearing in her case, excluding scheduling and trial status hearings.

On another matter, the judge granted the defense access to the crime scene where Caylee's skeletal remains were found.
The judge said he would rule later on a defense request for more information from Texas-base EquuSearch. He added he would deny the motion if the defense couldn't provide additional support for the request.
