Casey Anthony might have been found not-guilty but she’s not completely scott-free… the 25-year-old has bills, bills, BILLS!! Just one week after a Florida judge ordered Anthony to pay nearly $100K for costs related to the investigation into the disappearance of her daughter, Caylee, Judge Belvin Perry revised his ruling to require Anthony to pay an additional $119,822.25. Hit the jump for more details!
(HP)–The amended order filed this afternoon covers expenses incurred by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office — the agency that headed up the search for Anthony’s daughter Caylee.
According to the order, Anthony is responsible for reimbursement of the expenses because she “provided false information as to the location of her daughter” and made “other misrepresentations to law enforcement.”
On July 5, a jury of seven women and five men acquitted Anthony of killing 2-year-old Caylee, but found her guilty of lying to investigators. The child’s remains were found in December 2008 near the Anthony family home, some six months after she was last seen.
During her first-degree murder trial Anthony’s attorney, Jose Baez, said Caylee had drowned in the family swimming pool. The revelation was in direct contrast to previous statements Anthony had given police, saying her daughter had been kidnapped by a nanny. Because Anthony misled police, officials say thousands of dollars were wasted on search efforts and the investigation into Caylee’s death.
