Casey Anthony: "The death penalty doesn't scare me"
By DEREK CLONTZ
Your World Report
Casey Anthony turned white as a sheet when told that prosectors
had decided to seek  the death penalty in her
trial for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie. But just minutes later,
composed and feisty, she hissed: "The death penalty doesn't scare me.
"Infact, I hope they give Caylee's killer the electric chair. But they'll have to
find him first. I didn't do it."
Her reference to the "electric chair" was a misnomer - Florida has retired
its infamous "Old Sparky" electric chair in favor of lethal injection,
which is thought to be more humane than frying criminals alive.
"Eyewitnesses said they thought Casey was going faint when she heard about
the death penalty," said a source close to the case. "They said the blood
drained from her face and she gulped real hard and couldn't speak. Then she started
fidgeting and she bit her fingernails.
"She drank some water and refused to make eye contact with anyone for a couple of
minutes.
"Then she gathered her wits and said, 'The death penalty doesn't scare me, I mean,
why should it. I didn't kill Caylee. No jury will convict me based on the evidence. In
fact, I hope they give Caylee's killer the electric chair. I think he should be executed
for what he did to me. But they'll have to find him first. I didn't do it. '"
The source went on to say that Anthony, 23, then complained that she was
"bloated" and said, "My stomach hurts. The jail food is making me sick all
the time."
Officials at the Orange County Jail in Orlando, Florida, where Anthony is being held
without bond pending the start of her trial next fall, said if Anthony indeed is getting
sick from jail food, she hasn't filed a complaint. 
"There's nothing wrong with the food," said one insider. "If she's sick,
it's from guilt. Or maybe its from all the junk food she gets from the commissary. I mean,
how many bags of Skittles and Spicy Cajun Chips can you eat before you get a little
queasy? Seriously, come on - this monster is facing Death Row.
"I'd be sick, too. Sick at heart and sick to my stomach and I wouldn't be
complaining about anything. I'd be telling prosecutors the truth. I'd confess to the
murder. I'd beg for mercy. Then I'd get on my knees and do everything in my power to get
right with God, because if you don't do that, Death Row and lethal injection are going to
be a walk in the park compared to what the Devil has in store for you - and that's nothing
less than an eternity in Hell."
