Casey's Christmas in Jail: Roast Beef, Gifts, and Candy Canes, Too

Casey Anthony will not be allowed to attend the funeral of her daughter, Caylee Anthony, whom Casey is charged with first degree murder.

The fact that Casey is charged with a capital felony (murder), it is unlikely that Casey will have privileges to attend even if her defense motions the court for a special request.



AS OF 12/23/08 7PM: Casey has not petitioned the court for special permission to attend the funeral, nor has plans to. In a statement from her defense, Casey will not attend the funeral or memorial, because she does not want to be the "center of attention", or have the service be turned into a media spectacle...
out of respect for Caylee at this time, I will refrain from commenting on this statement.

However, Casey will be having a Christmas dinner of Roast beef, mashed potatoes and bread. She will also receive gifts which include candy canes, socks and a pocket calendar.

Caylee Anthony would have been enjoying her 4th Christmas as an energetic 3 year old. The perfect age to begin realizing the meaning of Christmas as Jesus' birthday, waiting for Santa, and all the traditions.

Instead, there will be a funeral held after the second autopsy of her remains. It is alleged Caylee succumbed at the hands of her own mother, Casey, on or around June 15, 2008, a month and a half shy of Caylee's third birthday.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Caylee's remains have been moved to a funeral home.
