>> during the same interview on the 16th, with detective melich on the 16th day of july in 2008, the conviction is based on miss anthony informing detective melich that she identified a jeffrey michael hopkins and juliet lewis, that she had told them of disappearance of her child. however, we reassert that there's a materiality issue related to this particular charge and asserted this is out of the same instance of conduct. >> and count seven? >> count seven, your honor, this is the same interview that we've been discussing to detective melich. and this allegation is based on miss anthony asserting that she received a phone call from caylee marie anthony. >> just a second. since you just provided these cases -- >> yes, sir. >> -- to me. let me read them right quick to see if i have any additional questions before i hear from the state of florida. >> do they have a case on this whole idea of double jeopardy? >> oh, absolutely. if all of these statements occurred during one interview, they absolutely have a case. my belief, upon hearing the defense's argument that the judge should simp

because all four statements in the indictment arose during the july 16th interview between detective melich and miss and anthony, all four counts were one count, and must be reduced to one conviction based on one occurrence and course of counsel. in hamill v state, which we provided to the court, a florida case from 2006. >> huh, the defendant was convicted of 15 counts for using a computer to seduce a child. at issue, count five and six, among other things, arose in a sing criminal episode. the court articulated the test to determine whether offenses arise from a single criminal episode. in that test, the court articulated -- >> let me stop you for a second. >> yes, your honor. >> i don't seem to have benefit of what you said you provided the court. >> i apologize, your honor. i gave that to the clerk, and i should have instructed that you needed to have that. >> okay. okay. go ahead. >> thank you, your honor. this test required the court to look to whether there was a separation of time, place or circumstances between the crimes because those factors are objective criteria utilized to det

so in that amazing conversation oovps with yuri melich and john all allen, she admits to not working at universal studios for reasons that are not clear, but maintains the zani story. i'm lying to you about working here, but everything else i told you is true. and she maintains that lie for -- through conversation with law enforcement, she maintains that lie through conversations with her parents and her family which you saw through all of july and into august. but during that period of time, a problem comes up, and that is that her claim of where she dropped caylee off has been conclusively disproven. there's just no way that's true. her claim that she was looking for caylee has also been conclusively disproven. there's no way it's true. realizing that, when she is briefly released from jail on bond and stays with her family, she comes up with the new story, the kidnapping story, the forceful kidnapping story, the blanchard park story. remember the testimony where she told her brother lee when she was out in that later part of august that, in fact, yes, zani did kidnap caylee, but i

because all four statements in the indictment arose during the july 16th interview between detective melich and ms. anthony, all four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer were one continuous criminal act with a single intent. as such, each false statement separately charged violates double jeopardy and must be reduced to one conviction based on one occurrence and course of conduct. >> reporter: but judge perry disagreed, saying apt any's lies sent authorities on four different wild goose chases. >> as a result of those four separate and distinct lies, law enforcement expended a great deal of time, energy, and manpower looking for young caylee marie anthony. >> reporter: and then came the judgment. >> i will sentence you to one year in orange county jail imposing a $1,000 fine on each count, all four counts to run consecutive to each other, giving you credit for the time that you have previously served. >> reporter: realizing she wasn't going free today, the smile was gone from casey's face. and it would take the court the rest of the morning to do the complicat

. >> detective melich, do you recognize that? >> i do. >> casey anthony even took investigators to the universal studios building in orlando. >> we walk into the building, she turns left, starts walking down this hallway. and about halfway down the hallway she stops, turns, looks at us and says "i don't work here". >> detectives believed early on that casey was not telling the truth. this audio recording of an interview with casey was played in court. >> we're tired of the lies. no more lies. what happened to caylee? >> i don't know. >> you do know. what happened to caylee? >> i don't know where she is. that is the god honest truth. >> the lies casey anthony told throughout this case were undisputed by her attorneys. but in the end, the jury determined that telling lies isn't enough to prove murder. tom foreman, cnn. >> but what is waiting for her on the outside? will she be able to have any semblance of a normal life? john king talked to dr. drew pinsky, host of hln's "dr. drew". >> we expect her to be free very soon. then what?

if you believe him, you have to believe that yuri melich, if you believe hip, you have to believe that the other witnesses were lying to you. michael vincent, the other csi person who said he smelled a dead body, mr. arpad vass, and we'll get into that later. cindy anthony said it because this was her third call and she wanted the police to get there quicker. simon burch who runs the police tow yard. now, you may recall that mr. burch didn't make his statement until nine days later, after it was broadcast all over the news and, in fact, referenced news reports during his statement to the police. you had george anthony who did an incredible job of pointing out that your knowledge the first night upon arriving as soon as he arrived. and of course you have mr. neal haskell. now who didn't smell it. you may recall the one at the check cashing place, you may recall that she said she smelled garbage. tone nnlazzaro. charity beasley. clint house, he didn't smell it either. sergeant hosey, he said he smelled something. he's at the home, he's hearing lies, yet he didn't think it was sufficient

and i actually looked around to the lead detective on the case, who was behind me, yuri melich, and i think he just looked dashed >> what happened here, dan? what was your reaction? >> i was very surprised. i think -- i talked to you about the fact that i had correctly predicted that o.j. simpson would be acquitted and i was completely wrong about this case. what do i think happened? i think that the jurors simply did not believe that the cause of death has been proven. and as a result that there was reasonable doubt. those two things are connected. meaning people talk about cause of death and they talk about reasonable doubt, but those two concepts are the two key concepts here. i think in the end these jurors were not convinced that there was enough evidence that thihi was a murder at all. there was the possssility it was an accident. remember, if these jurors are 60%, 70%, 80%, even 90% sure that she did it, they shouldn't convict legally. and it seems that they didn't. >> it's such a leap that you have to take between all the naughty things that were almost proven beyond a reasona

. >> reporter: lead investigator yuri melich was calm, a far cry from the frantic voice on tape interrogating a lying casey anthony. >> what happened to -- >> i don't know. >> sure, you do. her rotten body is starting to decompose because everything you've told us we've locked you into a lie. >> to this day i'm still surprised she didn't come off -- she wouldn't tell us the truth and that's all we were after was the truth. >> reporter: prosecutors are officially declining to pursue a perjury case against cindy anthony for what she said on the stand. >> i started looking up and that prompted me to look up chloroform. >> reporter: but the legal troubles continue for casey. the people behind the massive search for caylee filed suit against her saying she admitted in court that caylee was never missing but died in the backyard pool. they want to recoup the $112,000 they spent searching for nothing. and some exclusive information this morning from the prosecutors' office about conversations the jurors were having behind closed doors. apparently, they weren't too thrilled with prosecutors saying go

uri melich, the lead detective, who again like jose was advised by george anthony and still did nothing. his name is escaping me. fletcher, yes. brendan fletcher. corporate who said he did not -- corporal who said he did not smell anything. came in and out of that garage and that the trunk was open. adriana acevedos, another police officer who was there that said she did not smell anything. now i know you heard a lot of evidence about the smell of this car. if you look at once casey is arrested how many people you have to eliminate, -- you didn't do anything. cindy's explanation of the reason why she said that, at least one person. even if you look at all of the people, and give them the credibility that they deserve, you still have an undance of people who did not smell something. this is a reasonable. when you have this many people, this many people who are telling you a certain thing, you have to have some doubt. this is not one individual like her boyfriend who is trying to protect her. this is significant amount of people from various backgrounds who have no interest in helping cas
