UPDATED: Inmate Claims He Knows Who Killed Caylee

Jerry Jackson is a 21-year-old inmate behind bars since 2004 on a 30-year sentence for crimes committed in 2002, including sexual battery with a weapon, armed burglary and kidnapping.

The letter, written on July 22, 2009 and addressed to "whom ever is representing Ms. Anthony," suggests that Jackson knows who killed Caylee Anthony and claims it was not Casey.

"I happen to know for a fact who killed her in which who is not Casey Anthony," Jackson wrote in the letter. "The person that killed her was a guy whose name I will not reveal at this time."

In April 2006, a then 18-year-old Jackson claimed in a letter written from behind bars that he kidnapped missing 13-year-old Ashani Creighton and killed her. However, his claims were dismissed amid a history of mental illness.

Eyewitness News is working to learn what actions were taken on the letter he wrote regarding the Casey Anthony case.

Bondsmen: I Wasn't Working For Anthony's Attorney

Bondsmen: I Wasn't Working For Anthony's Attorney
Tony Padilla Says He Wasn't Part Of Defense Team

POSTED: 4:06 pm EDT August 24, 2009
UPDATED: 4:47 pm EDT August 24, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The California bail bondsmen who got Casey Anthony out of jail last August said he did not work for Anthony's attorney.

Anthony is currently in the Orange County jail awaiting trial on murder charges in the death of her daughter Caylee.

Attorney Jose Baez has argued that anything Anthony told Tony Padilla or his employees is protected by attorney-client privilege and therefore should not be used in her trial. Padilla, however, said that he was not working for Baez and that Baez did not want him to work for him.

In court on Friday, Baez said he reviewed all kinds of law to figure out how to protect Anthony from anything she might say in front of Padilla and his staff.

"As far as signing any paperwork to be part of the defense team, I never signed anything like that," Padilla said. "Jose was very adamant. He did not want any of us at all working for him."


Attorney: Baez Could Use Searchers To Create Doubt

A defense attorney WESH 2 has been consulting said Baez may be able to create reasonable doubt by finding searchers who were in the area where Caylee's remains were found before they were located and didn't see anything. Then, he said, the state will have to counter with experts on the plants found growing in and around those remains.

Judge Stan Strickland said on Friday that he is inclined to give Anthony's defense access to records of Texas Equusearch volunteers who searched for Caylee near the area where her remains were later found.

Hornsby says those searchers could go a long way toward creating reasonable doubt in the minds of jurors.

The state, however, already has testimony from a botanist who told them that based on root growth around the remains, they had to have been there at least four months, which counteracts Anthony's claim she could not have put them there because she was in jail at the time.

But Hornsby said the plant science is not a slam dunk and jurors could be more inclined to believe searchers who said they didn't see anything

3 Rulings Awaited In Anthony Case
Casey Anthony Charged With Murdering Her Daughter

POSTED: Monday, August 24, 2009
UPDATED: 4:32 pm EDT August 24, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla.-- The judge in the Casey Anthony murder case has not yet ruled on three motions presented at a hearing last week.

Anthony, 23, remains jailed in first-degree murder charges in the death of her daughter, Caylee, who was 2 years old when she was reported missing in July 2008. Anthony has pleaded not guilty.

Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland will soon decide whether to ban celebrity bounty hunter Leonard Padilla and his associates from testifying about what Anthony said in their presence while out on bond.

Strickland will also determine how much information the defense can receive about volunteers from Texas EquuSearch, which looked for Caylee Anthony's body before it was discovered in December.

Strickland also has yet to rule on whether Casey Anthony's murder trial will take place before her trial on bad check charges.

Casey Anthony: Bail bondsman says she talked a lot about jail, not Caylee

Self-absorbed was the impression left by a WESH-Channel 2 report tonight. The station offered a "Today" interview with bail bondsman Tony Padilla, whose uncle is bounty hunter Leonard Padilla.

In the "Today" interview, Tony Padilla said Anthony mostly talked about jail and never talked specifically about Caylee or trying to find the toddler.

Padilla said Anthony's mood ranged from "very concerned and very overwhelmed" to "very upbeat and very much into like a kind of festive atmosphere." Padilla said that his employee Tracy McLaughlin, who spent a lot of time with Anthony, will be able to offer a lot of insight into the young mother. Kealing added that in an off-camera interview, McLaughlin once told WESH that Anthony never talked about the child.

WESH also reported that the state attorney's office isn't putting much weight in an inmate's letter that he knows who killed Caylee. The prison inmate, Jerry Jackson, says a sex offender confessed to the murder.
