Casey Anthony may be freed late July or early Aug.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Casey Anthony learned Thursday she could be free in a matter of weeks after spending nearly three years in jail on accusations she murdered her 2-year-old daughter, a case that captured the nation's attention and divided many over whether a killer had been acquitted.

While cleared of charges of killing and abusing her daughter Caylee, Anthony was convicted of lying to investigators and sentenced to four years. The judge said she could go free in late July or early August because of the time she has already served and her good behavior credit.
