The state commission that might be asked to pay Casey Anthony's legal bills has "severe concerns" about her request to be declared indigent.

In a motion filed by Anthony's defense team last week, Anthony is claiming she can no longer afford to defend herself against murder charges.

If the judge decides that Anthony can no longer defend herself and taxpayers must foot the bill, her legal expenses will be paid by the judicial administrative commission.

According to JAC attorneys, "Because the defendant has been able to provide over $110,000 in her defense, the JAC has severe concerns regarding the defendant's indigency."

In recently filed court papers, Anthony acknowledged spending that much money on her legal defense so far, although it is unclear where that money came from.

At a hearing next week, the Judge Stan Strickland will decide if Anthony is eligible for public money, which the state sets aside for people who cannot afford to defend themselves.

If Anthony is declared indigent, the state money could only be used for her defense expenses, such as depositions, legal research and copies of documents. The money could not be used to pay attorney fees.

In their written response, the JAC pointed out that, under state law, the judge must find out how much the attorneys are being paid and who is paying those attorney fees.

Because of that, next week's hearing could give insight into who has been paying Anthony's legal bills until now.

The Orange County Clerk of Courts has already determined Anthony to be indigent, but the judge will have the final say on whether taxpayers will foot a bill that could total in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Anthony is being held at the Orange County Jail on first-degree murder charges in the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Caylee was 2 when she was reported missing in July 2008. Her remains were found in December 2008.

Anthony could face the death penalty if convicted.
