CASEY ANTHONY SENTENCED TO 4 YEARS: OUT IN DAYS

SMILING
CASEY Anthony will serve just four years behind bars for lying to police, but with credit, she could be released within days.
How much credit she gets will be determined Thursday,  but it won't be announced in court.
The sentence which also includes four $1000 fines for each of the counts was imposed by Judge Belvin Perry who gave her the maximum allowed under the jury's decision.
Anthony who appeared relaxed and happy as she arrived at court, showed no reaction as the veteran lawman gave his decision.
He said: "As a result of those four separate and distinct lies law enforcement spent a lot of time looking for young Caylee Marie Anthony.
"The search for her went on from July through December over several months trying to find Caylee.
"Just as the jury spoke loud and clear on counts one, two and three, they also spoke loud and clear to the remaining counts."
Clearly wanting to punish her, he disagreed with her attorney Lisbeth Fryer, who had argued that the four convictions should be consolidated into one count, because all of her false statements stemmed from a single incident.   
Perry said he would need to meet with attorneys for at least an hour today to determine how much time Anthony will serve, based on how much credit she will receive for the three years she has already spent in jail.
They will run consecutively with each other.
