Murder Charges don't persuade Casey Anthony to talk.

Young Mother Offered No Information To Investigators After 4th Arrest
October 15, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- After Casey Anthony’s arrest Tuesday, some investigators were optimistic the gravity of the charge might compel her to tell them some new information.
Investigators hoped a murder charge might get Anthony to crack, but Wednesday investigators said Anthony seemed to take it all in stride.

Within moments of Casey Anthony being arrested and brought to sheriff's headquarters, investigators told WESH 2 she requested to have her lawyer present.

According to a source who spoke with her, Anthony did not offer any new information on her daughter Caylee's whereabouts. Anthony had requested court approval to travel to places of interest in private with her attorney to prepare her case, but on Wednesday, those motions were ruled moot since she was charged with first-degree murder. (The judge has not ruled on another motion to preserve DNA evidence.)

From the sheriff's standpoint, Tuesday did not help them achieve their prime goal.
"I want to remind everyone that we have not achieved our prime objective. We have not recovered little Caylee Anthony," Sheriff Kevin Beary said.

One investigator who saw Casey in a hallway described her as cool as a cucumber.
Even making eye contact and showing a hint of a smile. Soon after, her attorney Jose Baez arrived and politely told investigators his client did not wish to speak with them, WESH 2 reporter Bob Kealing said.

After the grand jury's indictment was handed up, an investigator said they were waiting for Judge Perry to issue an arrest order, which he did. That meant intercepting Anthony after she'd gotten out of her mother's car on state Road 417 and gotten in with her bail bondsman. He intended to take her back to jail.

Bottom line, that investigator said, they wanted to send a message about who was driving the investigation. The notion of Anthony being allowed to turn herself in on premeditated murder charge was not an acceptable option.

In a fax, a spokesman for Baez called Anthony’s rearrest show-boating and a sham.
What's next for Anthony could last several weeks. Both sides are now gearing up for a trial. The state has 175 days to put Anthony on trial for murder.

If Caylee's body is never recovered, long-time Orlando defense attorney and prosecutor William Shaeffer said it will be harder to convict or get a death sentence. "You're going to have a hard time convincing citizens she should give up her life even if they do believe she committed some level of homicide," he said.

The state accuses Anthony of failing to provide adequate care for Caylee leading to her death, but the indictment does not give a specific theory of how the child died.

But obviously, one investigator said, evidence of chloroform in the car and Anthony's suspected computer searches on the solvent will be key in prosecutor's argument that this was premeditated murder.

Currently, Anthony is at the Orange County Jail in protective custody -- meaning she can see other inmates but can't talk to them. She spends the better part of 23 hours of the day in her cell with no access to television.

She can request the use of a radio and it's up to the staff if they want to let her use one.
Anthony has one hour a day to shower, make monitored outgoing phone calls, and spend time outside in the recreation yard depending on weather and jail staff.
