Casey Anthony gets maxed out sentence of 4 years imprisonment for four misdemeanor convictions
In a sentencing ruling that seemed quite like what I had imagined in this post yesterday, Judge Belvin Perry at sentencing for Casey Anthony this morning imposed the maximum sentencing term of one year for each of the four counts of providing false information to authorities and ordered these counts to run consecutively. In other words, Anthony officially received a four-year sentencing term from Judge Perry this morning.
When Anthony actually gets released, however, is now to turn on complicated Florida state rules on good time and gained time credits. I will be grateful for comments from any Florida practitioners who know exactly what the state credits mean for how long Anthony will actually have to serve in prison.
