Casey Anthony smiles in court Thursday, but judge did slap her with the maximum sentence - however, it wasn't much. She got four years, but with time served she'll be home in five days.

Casey Anthony verdict

Do agree with the jury's verdict that Casey Anthony was not guilty of murdering her daughter, Caylee?

	Yes.
	No.
	I'm not sure.

In 10 days, Casey Anthony will be free.

The woman who gave life to Caylee Anthony and may have taken it away will be out of jail.

Free to party again. Free to do the big interviews. Free to tell her story in a memoir.

Free to hang out with minor celebrities, like her notorious neighbor O.J. Simpson once did. Free, even, to do a reality show.

With her tight sweaters and hair all Rapunzel again, can an offer to do a centerfold be far behind? And because a Florida jury found her not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Casey Anthony is free to reap the profits.

Professional poker player Brett Schulman is willing to bet on it.

He was the first guy to show up to witness the trial, arriving at 4 a.m. on day one. Schulman told the Daily News he'd wager that Casey Anthony will make at least a million dollars on interviews alone.

"That's fine," said Schulman, 51, who attended as many days of the trial as he could.

"Because the state of Florida will probably deduct about $780,000 for the cost of her lying.

"I'm sure that [defense lawyer] Jose Baez will act as her agent."

Schulman has been busy promoting a GPS technology to stop texting while driving but came to court as often as he could.

He even devised a numbering system the sheriff used for spectators to enter fairly when "things got crazy."

He wanted to see the trial for himself "to feel the truth, or not, of what people were saying."

Schulman feels about the verdict the way a lot of Americans do - that a defenseless child, who was so little when she died that all we know about her is that she liked SpongeBob and cake, lost.

"I'm actually depressed," says Schulman. "I'm physically blown away by that jury. I do believe she was guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt."

Why does he think the 12 jurors believe differently?

"When I saw the jury, I called them a bunch of hillbillies, and I got yelled at by my friends," says Schulman.

"But I'm sorry - some of those individuals did not even take notes, and while I was there, they were not paying attention. I saw some of them even fall asleep.

"Yes, a lot of the evidence was circumstantial, but they could not comprehend it. They couldn't connect the dots."

The man who makes his living by chance thinks the random selection process of our courts didn't work in this case.

"We have a great justice system," says Schulman. "But unfortunately, this time, I think it failed. Caylee did not get the justice she deserved."
