Casey Anthony was found not guilty of murder earlier this week, but was still sentenced to a year in prison this morning for lying to investigators.

Her lies to police during the investigation of the death of her daughter Caylee came early and often following the toddler's 2008 disappearance.

Anthony was convicted of fours separate counts of lying to authorities - fabrications that sparked a massive manhunt for her missing child.

The charges each carried a maximum of a year in prison, but Casey has already been in jail for three. Judge Belvin Perry gave her one year.

Perry also hit Casey Anthony with around $4,000 in fines.

Anthony's defense argued that the four misdemeanors occurred during one day of questioning and therefore should be counted as a single crime.

To punish her on four counts would violate double jeopardy rules, the defense said, but Perry was unmoved and Casey was taken into custody.

"As a result of those four distinct lies, law enforcement expended time, energy and manpower looking for young Caylee Marie Anthony," he said.

So, despite her murder acquittal, Anthony isn't a free woman yet. To the MANY people stunned by Tuesday's verdict, it's a small silver lining.

She'll have plenty of time to work on her new advice book.
