A Florida appeals court has thrown out two of the four convictions that Casey Anthony faced for lying to a detective during the investigation into her daughter's disappearance in 2008, according to reports.
The conviction of giving "false information to a law enforcement officer during a missing person investigation" were thrown out while an additional two convictions on the same counts were upheld by Florida's 5th District Court of Appeal.
Anthony's attorneys had argued that she was in police custody at the time and hadn't been read her Miranda rights.
Casey Anthony's lawyer Cheney Mason tells In Session correspondent Jean Casarez that when he called Anthony to tell her the ruling, Anthony said, "We keep fighting."
Judges on the 5th District Court of Appeals agreed with Anthony's attorneys Friday that two of the charges constituted double jeopardy, or being convicted more than once for the same crime.
Though she had briefly been handcuffed and put into a Sheriff's Office vehicle, "we conclude that a reasonable person in [Anthony]'s position would not believe 'that his or her freedom was curtailed to a degree associated with actual arrest,'" the panel ruled.
Anthony was acquitted of killing Caylee in 2011. Jurors convicted her of four counts of lying to detectives, and her attorneys appealed those convictions.
