Casey Anthony Statement February 9, 2009

As read to the media by attorney Jose Baez.
"This is a statement by my client and she's authorized me to a make a statement to the public with regards to tomorrow's memorial. I miss Caylee every day and every minute of every day. I can't be there for Caylee's funeral, but some day I want to go and visit her grave and tell her how much I miss her. I allowed my parents to be in charge for the funeral for Caylee. I told them I wanted her buried in a casket and I wanted there to be a gravestone so I could go and visit her. I asked them if there could only be a private funeral for just the family. I know they cremated her. I still don't want a public event with cameras and everybody around for Caylee's service, but I can't stop my parents from doing what they want. I truly hope that it will help them."

What others are saying
- Don't judge? People are mean?Did the same person who is judging people for being mean tell "the mean people" to not judge Casey if she murdered her daughter?
Really? - casey anthonyI've been following this case each day and i'm not only upset the fact that a mother would do this to a precious angel but that casey anthony parents are in denial. From day one casey lied about what happened to her daughter and made up stories as she went along but also the evidence that they have on her puts her guilty.
- My opinion Casey is guilty.She displays the key traits of a sociopath, just as Scott Peterson did. I can remember the moment I knew inside that Casey Anthony was guilty... I saw an interview with her, the first time I saw her, and she referred to her then missing daughter as "IT". Only a sociopathic monster would refer to its own child as an IT.
- CMACMA..CMA...RIH RIH (ROT IN HELL)
- Everybody Hates CaseyFor everyone posting for people to not judge Casey Anthony. Even if she isn't the one who actually killed her we would still hate her for how she acted before and afterward.
- To RGGlad I am not the only one who thinks this. I keep trying to get through at the Nancy Grace show, but the lines are always busy. Once I get through I will ask my questions.....hoping that Lee will be watching.
- She's Over It!Casey is over it because she had the whole month Caylee was missing to get over it. Further, she has a flat affect because she operates her own world, one that many of us loving parents will never understand. She's a narcissist!
- re: hmmmmHalie,
I think you hit the nail on the head. I also think that Lee Anthony is Caylee's father and was somehow involved. I wish Casey would just tell the truth already! - NO SUBJECTYeah, so she is young and that is what young people do, but if your child is missing a normal, innocent person wouldn't be out having fun.
- HmmmLee's statement yesterday left me speechless. CMA.....CMA...clearly he meant Casey.
I believe that Lee is not only the uncle, but also the Daddy to Caylee. And just what is the promise he made to to her ?
I think Caylee was murdered because she was a child of incest and they were afraid the truth would come out or maybe the grandparents couldn't deal with it and they took that poor girls' life.
There is something fishy about Cindy, something is way off.
I hope someone will figure out the truth and I hope they compared the fingerprints found on the tape wrapped around the skull to the family's prints. - WowPeople are so MEAN and hateful. Yes, she may have killed her little girl. Maybe... by miracle... she didn't. Casey is still a YOUNG woman... she was a teenager only 3 years ago! Of course she wants to party! That's normal! Why are people such God-Wanna-Be's and pass judgement on people. Who are you to say who should live or die. Last I heard, God deals with those that "touch his annointed". Caylee was definately God's child. Let GOD deal with Casey or WHOEVER killed this baby. Whatever happened to the rule "If you don't have anything nice to say... don't say anything at all"! RIP Caylee.... God be with you Casey.
- DEATH ROWYOU SHOULD GO TO DEATH ROW, YOU SHOULD OF GIVEN CAYLEE TO YOUR PARENTS TO RAISE HER AND YOU CAN GET LOST
- Cant wait to you go on death rowWhy didnt you just let your parents raise her and get lost.
- Cant wait to you go on death rowWhy didnt you just let your parents raise her and get lost.
- What an innocent person might sayYou would think that she would have had a statement about how sorry she was that she could not have protected her little girl better so that she might be alive today. Or that she hopes that "whoever did this will watch the funeral and will rot in hell for taking such an innocent and beautiful life" or that "although she is not free to attend little Caylee's funeral, that she is thankful for all of the support that she has received from her family who have stood by her through this nightmare". But no, she instead chose to demonstrate that EVEN NOW she is still in contention with whatever her her parents do and say, regardless of the ridicule that they have endured for supporting her through this. I know that the family is trying to bring something positive to this, but, like one poster already said, Caylee is dead because her mother murdered her. She is not (in my opinion) "living in heaven with angels wings", but in reality, no longer exists because she is dead. This is the cold, cruel reality of this poor child's fate and sugarcoating it by trying to pretend that it's anything less is a disservice to Caylee and any other murder victim.
- MURDERER!!!!I HAVE NOOOOO SYMPATHY FOR A MOTHER THAT COULD KILL HER LITTLE GIRL. I HOPE YOU ROT IN JAIL THE REST OF YOUR MISERABLE LIFE! THERE ARE SOO MANY FAMILIES THAT WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL IN THEIR HOME TO LOVE AND TO CARE FOR. YOU ARE NOTHING. YOU ARE NOT HUMAN YOU ARE THE DEVIL! THIS WORLD ABSOLUTELY HATES YOU WITH A PASSION. A MOTHERS LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDS.YOU DONT EVER EVER DESERVE TO GO TO THIS LITTLE GIRLS GRAVE. YOU HAVE NO SAY IN WHAT GOES ON WITH THIS CHILDS FUNERAL SINCE YOU ARE THE ONE THAT MURDERED HER. GET OVER IT. YOUR FAMILY IS IN CHARGE NOW AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO OR SAY TO CHANGE IT! ROT IN HELL CASEY ITS WHERE YOU BELONG!REST IN PEACE CAYLEE! I DONT KNOW YOU BUT I LOVE YOU AS DO MANY OTHERS!
- Typical SociopathI can't wait until the GUILTY verdict is read! "I allowed my parents to be in charge..." How generous of you. You should have "allowed" them to raise your beautiful child. You could have gone off whoring and she could have been safe. Instead, you used her to torment them, and then murdered her when your contempt wouldn't let you give them the satisfaction of taking her off of your hands. Caylee was such a beautiful baby. Justice will prevail.
- CayleeThe mere fact that this crazy woman allowed her daughter to rot in the woods, and continued with her lies therefore leaving Caylee to be eaten by animals while she protects her image is an outrage! I don't have any sympathy for that Psyco, no matter what her family (whom is in denial) request from the public!...What a shame..
- makes you wonder"I truly hope that it will help them."
That says alot about the grief she knows that they have been going through, as if she is trying to compensate for what she has done by "hoping" they will get closure from the service. What a phoney. - Caseyyou told them,"I wanted her buried in a casket and I wanted there to be a gravestone so I could go and visit her." Is this what you were thinking when you double bagged her in trash bags and threw her out like garbage? I think you had your turn you dumb b**ch. Rot in hell Casey. I hope you are tortured every second of your miserable life for what you have done to that precious little girl. RIP Caylee, your mommy can't hurt you anymore.
- CaseyPlease tell the truth...Stop doing this to your family, I feel like it was an accident and you were scared of your parents not loving you, They will always love you no matter what, But you need to tell them what happened and why.The truth may set you free.
To all the haters above me, The family has asked you not to judge-lets wait for the truth to come out before you judge so harshly.God loves us all - What a crock!This pathological liar and her incompetent attorney continue to expose themselves for what they are.
- you evil monstercasey you have no right to watch her memoril service on tv, go to her ashes or to step outside of that jail .Everytime i see your daughter pics on the "nacy grace show " or see her home videos of her singing makes me cry.
- "HOW COULD YOU!!!!!!!"you should have no say in what to do with her you didnt care u were selfish and killed an innocent child or u no who did its a crying shame how people like u could be so cruel i hope u spend the rest opf ur days in misery and hell..u deserve nothing and nobody its sick how u b.s. that ur upset..the only reason u are upset is cuz u no u did wrong and ur plan didnt turn out the way u wanted...tell everyone the truth u so called mother
- R.I.P Cayleehow could this mother give a statement when she killed her own daughter u should rotten in jail and never come out how could some one do this to a little angel....
- CayleeWhat a B! Listen to her...I allowed them to be in charge, I don't want this...me me i i. Go rot Casey. Poor Caylee.
- Roit in jailI hope you never get to step foot on her grave. If you missed her so much then why did you kill her....
- CayleeCasey-
You have no right to go anywhere near Caylee ever again, whether it be her grave or her ashes since it was YOU who made her DEAD! - I don't see how you guys can be so cruel..i mean seriously...y not do as her OWN FATHER asked and be positive sitting there being cruel isnt going to make things any better but for your own self i suppose
- Crazy CaseyCaylee is dead and I don't really think that she has much of thought on anything. She is not looking down from heaven and she is not an angel. She is a murdered little girl who had her short life snuffed out before it ever got started by a mother who is sick in the head and deserves the maximum punishment for this. The End!
- I HOPE YOU NEVER GET OUT OF JAIL TO BE ABLE TO VISIT HER AT ALL, YOU DONOT BELONG IN NORMAL SOCIETY. ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS GETTING OUT TO PARTY WITH YOU FRIENDS AND YOU DO NOT DESERVE FREEDOM.
- CaseySo I sit on my computer everyday morning and night to try to make everything that has happened to this little girl be a dream. I know its not but how dare you do that to your own flesh and blood, I find it discusting and you only being 22 years old your going to suffer now your self. I cant imagine you putting your friends and boyfriends coming in the middle of your life. Your little girl. Wow I cant seem to forget about it. How dare you kill her!?
- I don't understand what has happened and I know most people do not. I am not one to judge right off the bat, but I will make an exception here because it is obvious you are not innocent. If you did it and only you know 100%, I hope the first time you visit that poor girls grave site, you are being buried next to it. Have fun club hopping in hell.
- caseyI do not have compassion for Casey. She
murdered her sweet little daughter. She
knew what she was doing. I do not have
compassion for Caylee's grandparents. They did not protect their grand-daughter from their daughter. Caylee was
a beautiful little girl who had a whole
life ahead of her. And her life was cut
short by her so-called mother who did not want to be a mother and who wanted to party. I hope she will be in jail for
the rest of her life. Casey does not miss her daughter. She loves the attention she is getting from other people. Casey thinks this is all about her. It is not. It is about her daughter
who was brutally murdered by her crazy mother. I have said enough. She is a selfish person and a murderer. - CaseyAgain with the total LACK of personal responsibility-"but I can't stop my parents from doing what they want". Wahhhhhhhhhhh! Poor poor Casey, always the victim.
- CaseyThis just sounds like an attempt to help justify that you cared, so you can refer back to it and say "Looky here, everyone, see what I said? I really do care!", and your lawyer probably had to talk you in to even writing the statement. You're can idiot and a pretty face isn't going to get you too far in this case.
- Jose BaezI think Jose Baez knows she will not ever get out of jail and so he doesn't bother telling Casey not to make these stupid statements. She should be locked away with her self for ever. Put mirrors around her so she can never get away!
- broadcasting servicesListening to this service is unbearable in all its "schmaltzy" lameness. Where's Neal?!
- Caylee... Casey's statement was selfish and sniveling to say this least. It astonishes me that someone can have so little empathy and knowledge of the hurt and pain she's inflicted on so many..most esp. her beautiful and innocent little girl. It is true that one should be "innocent until proven guilty"..however, Casey has proved over and over again,that she is not. I hope Caylee rests in peace and is always remembered for the precious child that she was. May her grandparents find their own peace as well and treasure the love that they had w/Caylee.
- her statementWhats interesting to me is this...It seems like the Anthony family is no longer supporting her. IF ( ok, IF ) she did want her buried in a casket and have a private memorial, they ignored her wishes. If they were still supportive of Casey, wouldnt they have taken her wishes into consideration? I find that interesting. Of course, its possible that there never was a coversation with the family around this stuff. And if there was, when was it?
Rest in Peace, Little Angel - COMMENTS BY EVAwho knows who who gets buried in next plot...but it sure indicates the kind of general wish full judgmental psyche of people in which poor caasey/cindy.george/baez had to operate...and keep their sanity...and sense of our purpose INTACT
- Cindy and GeorgeDon't worry about Casey! we don't believe what she said. You two did right thing. we support you both 100 percent. Caylee will thank you for what you'd done for her. You will see her in spirit tonight in your dream. Caylee forgives Casey what she did to Caylee.
My heart goes to Cindy and George Anthony. Rest in Peace Caylee Marie Anthony. - stickerMaybe Casey wanted to put a heart sticker on the casket?

GREAT POST! - caseyu will visit her when u are in the next plot i hope u riot in jail u was thinkin of her everyday at the bars callin her a little snot head and you are still lying now tell the truth now for casey to rest in peace i hope u do think about her everyday and what u did
- Casey AnthonySeems to me Casey and Baez are simply trying to focus attention on Casey, but her statement is odd to say the least. I "allowed" my parents...please, go back to saying nothing at all Casey Anthony, whackjob extraordinnaire! Your day in court is coming soon enough, although I'm sure you won't take the stand in your own defense as you simply do not have one. We're all waiting with baited breath as to "what really happened" so we'll all finally understand. It's time to face reality and understand no one is buying your story, not today, not tomorrow, and certainly not at your trial.
- Casey is pure evil, She wants to someday visit the grave, hopefully you will rot in prison and never have that chance. Wishful thinking on your part!! Justice for Caylee!! America and the rest of the world loves her!!
- in an 8-sentence statement, casey managed to use the word "I" 14 times. she'll just never get that the world doesn't revolve around her....
- CaseyAS they say about her, if her mouth is moving, she's lying.
- Casey's CommentWhat a joke!!!!!!! Does this stupid woman or her fame seeking attorney think we believe her BS????
- funeral for CayleeEven though you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, I don't think you have the right to dictate what happens to the person you murder. And we all know that you are guilty. I could care less what you want, I know that that little girl would want everybody there that supported the people that tried to find her. God have mercy on your soul.
- again casey has made it alla bout what she wants. that wmn never thinks about anyone but herself. most parents would have put a little more thought into a statement about there daughters service. but this one is just worried about what she is burried in. selfish bitch!!!!!!!!!!
- CAYLEECASEY, FIRST OF ALL YOU HAVE NO MORE SAY SO TO WHAT EVER OR HOW EVER CAYLEE SHOULD BE PUT TO REST. YOU GAVE UP THAT RIGHT WHEN YOU KILLED HER. AND AS FOR WANTING TO VISIT HER GRAVE SIGHT YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. THE ONLY GRAVE SITE YOU WILL BE VISITING IS YOUR OWN. YOU SHOULD OF THOUGHT ABOUT ALL OF THIS BEFORE TAKING YOUR DAUGHTERS LIFE.
- who cares what that vicious child-killer wants?she doesn't want a public memorial because she knows that the public KNOWS she killed that baby. she'd like caylee and all of us who are angered by this murder to just GO AWAY. she's over it, she doesn't understand why we aren't as well.
ROT IN H#LL, you murdering scum. - SOMEDAY..."but some day I want to go and visit her grave and tell her how much I miss her." - NOT someday SOON, NOT just as soon as I'm vindicated at trial, NOT anything but the resignation of a woman who knows that justice will be served by the lengthy sentence she receives as mortal payment for the crime committed of killing her daughter for WHATEVER reason. I would hope that she would cleanse her soul and claim the responsibility for her actions - for only in that act of contrition and confession will she be truly able to live with herself, find SOME redemption, and provide her family with the information which can at least allow them to better adjust to the inevitable "rest of their lives" with some understanding and lessons about just who they raised - and where potentially she got off track. This is a sad story, but it is rich in life lessons - for in their dysfunctionality and it's admittance - can we, as society and as human beings benefit - hopefully to if nothing else, prevent another Casey Anthony from making the same choice. God Bless little Caylee.
