ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony has a million-dollar offer on the table.

In a WESH 2 News exclusive, reporter Dave McDaniel learned that a freelance TV producer is making an offer for Anthony's first interview once she leaves jail.

"I believe in the right of this woman to tell her story," said California-based producer Al Taylor.

Taylor, who has worked with "Hard Copy," Jerry Springer, and "A Current Affair," said he's ready to hand a real check to Anthony for $1 million.

"We're legitimate news people," Taylor said. "We're legitimate TV people, and she needs to tell her story."

He said it won't be a soft approach. It would be an interview sold worldwide.

"The first question is, 'Did you do it?'" Taylor said. "It's not going to be a softball interview. We're going to grill her like a bad piece of fish. She's going to earn her $1 million. We're going to find out exactly what happened."
