Casey Anthony: “I don’t care if I’m convicted or not - I
like jail”

Just minutes before a hearing to determine when she will stand trial for the
murder of Caylee Anthony, her 2-year-old daughter, tot mom Casey Anthony reportedly
told a member of her legal team that she’s “starting to like jail … and
… don’t care if I’m convicted or not.”
She went on to say she’s “not guilty of a damn thing … life
in prison will have to be better than life (as a free person on the outside) …
everybody hates me … even my (friends) …”
The statements mark a sharp departure from Anthony’s earlier insistence that jail
was the pits and she wanted out in the worst way.
The source who overheard the statements, 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.”
It was reported that she took notes with a pencil throughout the proceeding, although
one person who claims to have seen the notepad she was working on said there
“wasn’t a word on it, just doodling.”
As she scribbled away, Circuit Judge Stan Strickland granted defense attorney Jose
Baez’s motion and request to visit the crime scene where Caylee’s skeletal
remains were found, the mouth of the skull wrapped with duct tape.
Strickland said he will rule on Baez’s request to obtain the records of volunteers
who helped in the search for baby Caylee at a later date. Getting that information could
help the defense make the case that the tot’s body was dumped long after Casey
Anthony had been jailed, legal experts say.
That, in turn, might help the defense prove that she didn’t kill the baby, they
explain.
On the issue of a change-of -venue motion, Strickland said he will set a hearing
date when the appropriate paperwork is filed.
It was also determined that if the trial is not set for the end of the year, a change
of venue motion may not be necessary - and the trial could be held in Florida.
