Holly DeVeaux, the actress initially cast to play Casey Anthony in the upcoming Lifetime Network original film "Imperfect Justice," has reportedly dropped out of the project. According to people.com, DeVeaux will now be replaced by Virginia Welch.

A source close to the film spoke with the site, explaining that both DeVeaux and the film's producers were ready for a change:

"Holly moved on and they recast the role," says the source. "This is one of those decisions that happens all the time. Holly was good and very talented; it just didn't work."

Welch now joins Rob Lowe in the film, who will star as prosecutor Jeff Ashton. The lawyer recently commented on the casting saying: "It's flattering. They clearly weren't going for someone who looked exactly like me."
