Casey Anthony to Be Released July 17
Those hoping for a silver lining in Casey Anthony's four-year prison sentence for lying to authorities this morning are about to be sorely disappointed.
She will be released from an Orange County, Fla., jail next week.
Chief Judge Belvin Perry sentenced Anthony this morning for lying to police, giving her four years in jail, or the maximum of one year for each count.
However, she was credited for the 1,000-plus days she's already served since her 2008 arrest, as well as for good behavior exhibited behind bars.
Considering those factors, court officials calculated that she will be released from Orange County Jail July 17. Perry couldn't impose anything longer.
In the courtroom, Anthony, who was found not guilty of murder in a surprise verdict Tuesday, showed no reaction while Perry imposed his sentence.
Earlier, the 25-year-old arrived in court looking relaxed and happy, in contrast to her stoic appearances throughout the nearly two-month trial.
Given that she'll be a free woman after many believed she would be convicted and executed for killing daughter Caylee Anthony, you can see why.

Thinking back, was George in on the defense to save Caseys life?
I didn't like his face showing no surprise at the opening statement of Baez on the ugly statement in detail, of his
molestation. I would have jumped out of my chair and said what?
The jury watched that and his hesitation on answering the molestation question by Baez.The jury of 12 blind mice saw that
as being more important than circumstantial evidence.
Casey will live her entire life by taunting remarks of killer.
Well deserved.

Casey may be able to pull the wool over the eyes of the judge and jury but GOD knows exactly what happened to little caylee. It makes me sick to my stomach and scared to death being a mother of 3 small children myself to know that there are phsycopaths out there who can let this happen to a baby and be so weird about it in the courtroom. She deserved to spend a heck of a lot more time in jail and should have at least been charged with child neglect/endangerment that resulted in the death of a child. I also think maybe this case and the fact of her not being safe outside of prison will make the cable company rethink putting such high profile cases on tv. I dont wish harm on anyone but there r alot of crazy people that dont care about what will happen to themselves n the end and all they c is caylees innocent face as they r doing harm 2 casey. Casey if u r reading this please know u r not safe anymore. u have shown the world u r a bad mother.

13 is supposed to be bad luck.
Maybe something bad will happen to her that day.
I don't really wish bad things on people, but she deserves it.

this whole thing makes me sick. there was no justice for little caylee. a monster walks free and can live life while a little girl is still gone and will never come back. but i do feel that she is in a way better place and is happy knowing there were so many who wanted justice for her. one day justice will be done but it really brakes my heart b/c she couldve had a long and beautiful life. i hope casey rots in hell for what she has done and anyone who had anything to do with it.
