Casey Anthony to be Released From Jail July 17, Not July 13

After spending nearly three years in jail accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Casey Anthony will go free July 17. She was to walk free on July 13, but it was later determined that the correct release date is July 17. 25-years old Anthony, who was acquitted this week of the most serious charges, was ordered today to remain in jail after Judge Belvin Perry sentenced her to four years in jail and a fine of $4,000 on her conviction of lying to law enforcement officials.

Judge Belvin Perry ordered the one-year terms to run consecutively, and also imposed a $1,000 fine for each count. Perry originally estimated that Anthony could be freed by late July or early August, but her attorney Jose Baez said she would be released July 13, ABC News reported. He said as a result of Casey Anthony's lies, law enforcement spent "a great deal of time, energy and manpower looking for young Caylee Marie Anthony."

According to the LA Times, 25-years old Casey Anthony arrived in the courtroom appearing relaxed and happy, wearing her long hair, normally in a bun, down. Her smiles disappeared, though, as Perry handed down his sentence.
