Casey Anthony court victories

DAYTONA, Fla. — Casey Anthony, who beat a murder rap in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, yesterday won an appeal on two lesser convictions.

A Florida state appeals court threw out two of her four 2011 convictions for lying to detectives. Anthony’s lawyer had argued that her statements amounted to a single lie, not four.

The court ruled that since she lied in two interviews, two convictions would stand.
