I know this was originally posted ages ago, but I just read this thread and wanted to respond. The reason she's lying about it is because if she told the truth about Caylee's death, deliberate or accidental, it would make her look bad. Casey is all about outward appearance and looking good. Oh, and add to that, that she's a compulsive liar. She lies even when she doesn't have a reason. She lies about random, meaningless bull****. She lies about important events. She lies to get out of situations where she'd have to put herself out. She lies to garner sympathy and nickle and dime money from friends and family. She lies just to lie. She also lies to get her way.
The only "truths" in her written statement to police were that she would lie, steal, and do whatever she had to do, and that she frequented clubs. She added the "to find my daughter" 'cause she knew damn well the jig was up and everything was going to come out. Again, it's all about Casey looking good.
If she had worked as hard at getting an actual job and functioning as a self sufficient single mother, as she did at fabricating la bella vita, and avoiding "adulthood," she'd be a freaking millionaire.
She's pathetic! The shame about all of this is that no one would've/could've given a rat's *advertiser censored* about her "status," imagined or otherwise. They were just having a good time. What a selfish, manipulative, lazy piece of work.
Caylee was an accessory for Casey. Caylee went out of fasion, and there you have it. Time to move on to the fall 2008 collection.
Fortunately, the Fall 2008 collection in Orange County is a blue jumpsuit, pink handcuffs, thick silver chain, and pink ankle shackles. It's all the rage among moms who murder their babies.
