Casey Anthony has been ordered to pay twice as much as she was originally scheduled to pay after being convicted of lying in the investigation of her missing daughter Caylee, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Judge Belvin Perry ruled on Friday that the amount Anthony, 25, must pay the Orange County Sheriff’s Office is $145,000, an increase over the $25,837 she was initially ordered to pay, bringing the total amount she owes to $217,499.23.

Perry had asked the Sheriff’s Department to resubmit documents that further detailed the cost of the search for little Caylee from July 15, 2008 to September 29, 2008 and they returned with the higher amount of costs.

“We’re glad the judge was able to reconsider the information,” Captain Angelo Nieves of the sheriff’s department said.

Casey’s defense team claimed in the opening arguments of her trial that Caylee accidentally drowned in the family pool on June 16, 2008 and then said she told lies to cover up her death.

Casey Anthony is currently living in Florida serving her one year of probation from her check fraud convictions. She was acquitted of murdering her daughter Caylee in July and released from jail a few days later.

Her mother Cindy Anthony, recently told Dr. Phil that “her worst nightmare had just unfolded right in front of me,” when she learned Caylee had been missing for 31 days.

I'm sorry, how did this crime become Georges? I can't believe anyone actually bought Baez's lies. Ask yourself, where was Caylee all the months Casey had her and was out partying at night. Where was her baby? We still don't know.

Can you imagine the look on evil George's face when he came back out to finish burying the baby and it was GONE!!! He thought Casey came and got it.. and Casey was oblivious...the EVIDENCE is so obvious!!!

In the jail tapes Casey says she knows the baby is buried close by... becaue it was her Dad's job to bury it but Kronk screwed it up.. and then neither George nor Casey knew where the baby was and George sent her under the bus.

One day I wonder if Casey will go back to Kronk and ask him to tell the truth so her father gets his just deserts. The state should offer him innumity.. it was just petty theft... that BLEW UP on his part.

George and Kronk will never tell the truth.... because they will go to jail big time... to bad they couldn't have offered Kronk immunity to tell the TRUTH about where he really found that baby

I believe if Kronk hadn't of come along and grabbed the bag on his rounds.. that baby would have been under a cement slab buried by George, they would be in denial to their graves... wacked family.

If it meant I could look at a magazine or web site without seeing her face, I would vote for Florida to forget the money and buy the plane ticket for her to go to Mexico. All she has to do is agree not to ever come back.

No way - I live in Fl, and I say she should pay up!! Additionally, her promising to never come back is a hollow guarantee here. I mean she is paying these fines because she was found guilty of "lying" instead of murder.
