CASEY ANTHONY TRIAL JURORS WILL COST $361 GS

PRICEY CASEY
PARTY girl Casey Anthony's trial jurors will cost the court system almost $400,000 administrators estimated yesterday.
The sexually adventurous young mum faces capital murder charges in the death of her two-year-old daughter Caylee, who's body was found after almost five months of intensive searches after she was reported missing in July 2008.
She faces the needle if convicted.  
But the potentially explosive trial will require 20 jurors to judge Anthony, who turns 25 on Saturday, costing a staggering  $361,000, according to court administrators.
Expenses include everything from housing, transportation and three daily meals, to wages associated with the sheriff's office, court clerks and courthouse facilities for the duration of the trial.
 Prior to a jury being seated, the Orange County Clerk of Courts Office will be required to pay nearly $4,000 in jury selection costs.
Court spokeswoman Karen Levey told The Orlando Sentinel: "It's an
estimate of the expenses, but it's certainly not all-inclusive."
However, she added, the cost breakdown per juror is "fairly accurate."
Jury selection in Casey Anthony's murder trail is scheduled to start May 9.
