Casey Anthony to be released
A court official stated Anthony will be released from prison following her conviction of giving false information to the police while investigating the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.
The case received national attention in 2008, when Caylee went missing and her skeletal remains found 5 months later. Her mother, Casey Anthony, did not report her missing daughter and was subsequently charged with felony murder though she maintained her innocence.
After lying for years about what happened, and even making up a story about a babysitter taking her, Casey finally came up with a story saying Caylee drowned in the families swimming pool. She found the body. Her and her father panicked, and disposed of the body.
