Casey Anthony tells inmate she’ll take “truth serum” to prove she didn’t kill Caylee: REPORT

Casey Anthony defiantly told a fellow inmate that she will take “truth serum to prove” she didn’t kill baby Caylee, the 2-year-old daughter cops say she murdered in cold blood last summer, a jailhouse source reveals.

“The inmate Casey was talking to is a reliable informant,” the source told me exclusively. “I trust her. If she said Casey said she wants truth serum to prove her innocence - and she did say that - then I believe it.Artist's rendering of what she might look like if a fellow inmate slugged her.

“I also believe Casey would be crazy to take truth serum,Click to Visit "Herb News" because, let’s face it, she’s guilty, and truth serum would prove it.”

Police deny that Anthony, 23, could have made such a statement to another inmate because, as one veteran investigator put it, “she’s damn near in solitary confinement.”

To which our source said, ”Casey is supposed to be isolated and kept away from other prisoners, that’s true.

“But make no mistake:  inmates in every jail devise ingenious ways to communicate, and oftentimes, especially in murder cases based on circumstantial evidence, the authorities find it convenient to look the other way, especially when one of the inmates is working directly for them.

“You better believe Casey Anthony is talking, and you better believe she has a confidante. Unfortunately for her, in this case, the confidante is an informant.”

Taken at face value, her alleged willingness to take truth serum would be the first indication that Anthony, who by all appearances is an unrelenting and pathological liar, is willing to cooperate in a serious interrogation, as truth serum - scientifically known as sodium pentathol - historically has been used with some success in criminal cases and also in military investigations of prisoners of war and spies.

Tapes, videos and transcripts of such a drugged interrogation would not be admissable in court, legal experts consulted by derekclontz.com agree.

But they still could prove to be valuable by giving police and prosecutors details and information a defendant such as Anthony previously may have withheld.

And the follow-up investigations based on such new information would be admissable in court as long as acceptable investigatory procedures and protocols were adhered to.

“The chances of anybody giving Casey Anthony sodium pentathol are slim to none,” said an expert who contributes regularly to a cable news show covering the murder case. By contract with the cable network, the expert must remain unnamed in print and Internet reports not associated with the show.

“But if she’s really so confident that she can prove her innocence,” continued the expert, “why not take a lie detector test?

“We all know the answer to that. She couldn’t pass a lie detector test,  she knows she couldn’t pass a lie detector test - so she isn’t about to agree to a lie detector test.

“But she can say she would take  truth serum because she knows full well police aren’t going to give it to her.

“Look, Casey Anthony isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she certainly is one of the connivingest. Truth serum?  I can just imagine what would come out of her mouth … she’d be retracting every word she ever spoke. She is a deeply troubled young woman for sure.”

“Casey is supposed to be isolated and kept away from other prisoners, but make no mistake:  inmates in every jail devise ingenious ways to communicate.

“You better believe she’s talking, and you better believe she has a confidante. Unfortunately for her, in this case, the confidante is an informant.”
