Casey Anthony has been ordered by a judge to pay the state of Florida $97,676.98 toward the costs from the investigation into her missing daughter, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Orange County Judge Belvin Perry ruled on Thursday that Anthony, 25, must pay the costs since she was convicted of lying about Caylee’s disappearance to law enforcement and causing them to look for her missing daughter when she knew that the toddler was already dead.

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.

I'm glad to see her have SOME responsibility for all of the misery and chaos she caused, but no doubt she'll make money through LYING (as usual) in interviews, books, etc.

She should move abroad and give interviews /book/ movie deals from there and keep her money. $ 97,000 for
just walking around the park and kicking beer cans.Come on get real.She signed no contract for the services.

She does not have to file bankruptcy, she is judgment proof, however these clowns are counting on her making
any money in future from interviews or a book deal.Seems Judge is still upset about jury verdict.

Since she has almost 0 chance of getting a job how the hell do they expect her to pay this overinflated bill? She will need to file bankruptcy and wipe all the debts out

I predict that after all her therapy and psychoanalysis, vacations in Mexico and online educational classes, Casey will wait a year or so and then emerge to do her million dollar interview.

I wish the idiots would learn to read. She was convicted of LYING to the police about her daughter being abducted, resulting in a long and expensive search. THAT's what she has to pay for.

THANK YOU! That is correct! And why should the state of Florida get stuck with these costs, especially during such bad times economically, when she KNEW exactly where Caylee was but let everyone look anyway?
