Casey Anthony | Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Casey Anthony is breaking her silence, telling CNN’s Piers Morgan, “Obviously I didn’t kill my daughter.”

The 26-year-old Florida woman, who was acquitted in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, spoke to the TV host for 10 minutes over the phone, a conversation which wasn’t played on-air.

“There’s nothing in this world I’ve ever been so proud of. There’s no one I loved more than my daughter. She’s my greatest accomplishment,” Piers quoted Casey as saying.

“The public perception of me is bad, absolutely horrible,” she also told Piers. “I was a stupid kid. I’ve never been a ‘party girl,’ and I’ve gone through hell. I’m ashamed in many ways of the person I was.”‬

As for life after her now infamous trial, her lawyer revealed she spends her days indoors, reading and watching television.

“I don’t drink now. I’ve probably had a handful of beers since I’ve been on probation. I’ve never done drugs, apart from a little bit of marijuana in my early 20s,” Casey said.

Casey Anthony is speaking out for the first time since she was found not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter.

The 25-year-old mother of Caylee Anthony, sporting a blonde bob, recorded the video in October, just three months after she was released from jail.

“It’s just a little surreal how much things have changed since July and how many things haven’t changed. But the good thing is that things are starting to look up and things are starting to change in a good way. I just hope that things stay good and that they only get better,” Casey, who does not mention Caylee, says in the video.

NBC News has confirmed that this is Casey on camera.

Casey Anthony was officially released from jail just after midnight on Sunday (July 17) in Orlando, Fla.

The 25-year-old was recently on trial for the murder of her young daughter Caylee, but was acquitted of those charges. Casey was charged with lying to law enforcement and was sentenced to four years in prison.

Outside of the jail, Casey was greeted by rioters, who screamed out profanities and yelled their opinions, according to People.

“She had a look of relief on her face,” said Tony Zumbado, a photographer who talked to People. “There was a smile on her face. She looked glad to be out of there.”
