Casey Anthony will be released Wednesdy

Only a week and a half after she was convicted of lying to police about the death of her daughter and acquitted in her murder, Casey Anthony will leave prison a free woman.

Court officials said Anthony will be released Wednesday, receiving credit for time served and good behavior. She was sentenced Thursday to four years in prison — one year for each of the counts of lying to law enforcement.

Anthony, 25, appeared in court smiling, with her hair down for the first time since her trial began.
