ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A Florida jury has acquitted Casey Anthony of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

After 33 days of interrogating witnesses, analyzing facts and processing evidence, 12 jury members took ten hours to deliberate on the faith of Casey Anthony, who stood accused of murdering her two year old daughter Caylee.

Anthony began crying when the jury’s verdict was read Tuesday and hugged her attorney afterward. A prosecutor shook his head in disbelief. She could have received a death sentence if she had been convicted of first-degree murder.

She was found guilty on four counts of lying to investigators for which she could receive up to a year in jail for each count. Judge Belvin Perry will sentence her Thursday.

Caylee disappeared in June 2008 and her body was found in woods near her grandparent’s home six months later. A medical examiner was never able to determine how she died.
