casey anthony cayleeWith two civil suits looming over Casey Anthony’s horizon, speculation grows about the acquitted probationer’s testimony: about what she will and will not say. During a Nov. 1 deposition for the Zenaida Gonzales defamation suit, Anthony, 25, invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 60 times and avoided answering specific questions about the disappearance of her child in 2008.

Nevertheless, it’s a mystery that anyone would expect the consummate liar to come clean about what really happened to her daughter, Caylee. Freed two weeks after a jury acquitted her of the capital murder of her child and knowing she could not be retried for the same crime, would the “most hated woman in America” make a clean breast of her role in the tragedy?

No. Truthfulness is not within the scope of Casey Anthony’s abilities.
