One of Casey Anthony's defense attorneys said Monday he's worried about her safety once she's released from a Florida jail this Sunday after being acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter.

Cheney Mason told NBC's "Today" show that he doesn't know where she'll go and that she needs time and counseling to re-enter society after spending three years in prison.

Mason said Anthony's relations with her parents were "pretty well burned" after the trial, where her defense team contended she was sexually abused by her father. Her father, George Anthony, denied the claims.

Jail records show Casey Anthony refused a visit Friday from her mother, Cindy Anthony.

Casey Anthony was convicted of four counts of lying to law enforcement.
