Shock as Casey Anthony tells baby Caylee - “I’m sorry … I’m sorry …”

By DEREK CLONTZ
Your World Report

Tot mom Casey Anthony stunned not one but two eyewitnesses who during a pre-trial hearing on Friday overheard her whispering emotionlessly under her breath as she doodled on a notepad, “I’m sorry … I’m sorry …” at least eight times.

The apologies came less than an hour after a different source reported hearing her tell a member of her defense team she’s “starting to like jail … and … don’t care if I’m convicted or not.”

That same source said Anthony insisted she’s “not guilty of a damn thing  …  (but) life in prison will have to be better than life (as a free person on the outside) … everybody hates me … even my (friends) …” 

Those statements and the “I’m sorrys …” mark a sharp departure from Anthony’s earlier insistence that jail was the pits and she had nothing to apologize for.

“We have conflicting comments here - on the one hand, she says she’s ‘not guilty of a damn thing’ and on the other she’s saying, ‘I’m sorry’ over and over again,” a psychologist and cable news analyst told derekclontz.com exclusively.

“It’s clear she is struggling - finally - with the truth.

“This is a pattern we see with pathological liars, first, lies, lies and more lies. Then, they begin to mull consequences - in this case staying in jail - and toy with the truth, on this occasion, Casey Anthony apologizing, but not with any real emotion. 

“The eyewitnesses agree that she was saying ‘I’m sorry’ without a trace of feeling in her voice.

“This is typical, and this is good news. It suggests Casey cannot keep up her charade and will either break down and confess or make a decision to talk calmly to prosecutors and police, telling them at long last what is true.’”

The eyewitnesses who heard Anthony apologizing disagreed about what they saw on the notepad she had been doodling on during a hearing in Orange County, Florida on Friday, on Jan. 30.

One saw “nonsensical scribbing” with nothing intelligible except perhaps “something that looked like a little ‘frowning face’.”

The other says, “I am certain I saw the name ‘Caylee Marie’. I would testify in court to that. I would bet my life on it.”

If the baby’s name is on the paper, a legal expert says that would be admissible in court along with testimony about what the eyewitnesses heard.

As the expert puts it: “The question to explore is, ‘Why was Casey Anthony apologizing to Caylee?’

“It might be because she let her down or harmed her in some way. It might be because she killed her.” 

Interestingly, as derekclontz.com was the first to report, the source who overheard Anthony saying she doesn’t care if she is convicted - an insider close to the case - said there was “something different in her voice that I haven’t heard before. I think it was fear.

“It’s like the reality of her trial and the strength of the case against her is beginning to sink in. What Iheard today sounded like someone preparing herself for the worst. 

“It was as if she were telling herself, ‘I’m not going to be able to lie myself out of this. I might as well prepare myself for it.”

Anthony was escorted into a courtroom in Orange County, Florida, at 8:15 a.m. Friday morning with what one observed described as “a Cheshire-cat grin on her face” - a reference to the perpetually smiling cat in Alice in Wonderland.

If convicted, Anthony faces at least life in prison if not the death penalty. Her trial date has not been set, but likely will be moved out of Orange County because the jury pool knows too much about the case from local and national reporting.
