HLN is reporting that the judge ruled on the State's request that Casey Anthony be responsible to pay the $500k investigation costs. The judge ruled that she can only be held responsible for the costs associated with the lies she told in relation to the charges for which she was convicted, namely lying to police. This decision was reached after reviewing state and federal case law. So, Casey is being held responsible for $97k, believed to be the costs incurred from July through Sept 2008.
