Casey Anthony, who earlier this week was found not guilty of killing her daughter, was sentenced on Thursday to four years in jail. The precise amount of time she will spend in jail has not yet been determined but it is likely to be significantly less than one year and could be as short as a few weeks, given the nearly three years she has already served.
Judge Belvin Perry said he would need to meet with lawyers for at least an hour Thursday morning to decide Ms. Anthony’s jail term based on how much time she should be credited with, including time served for good behavior. A decision is to be reached sometime Thursday.
Ms. Anthony, 25, was also fined $1,000 for each of the four counts of lying she was convicted of for her statements during an interview with the authorities investigating the disappearance and death of Caylee Marie, her 2-year-old daughter. Ms. Anthony showed no visible emotion as her sentence was being read.

I posted this journalism piece this way because journalism has a very formal and informative tone. I used some non-essential information, but for the most part I had very simple sentences to keep each thought separate. I had a short paragraph structure. I didn't use the word "I."
