Party girl Casey Anthony’s ‘credibility is pretty much zero’

Party girl Casey Anthony’s recent claims that her dad killed her daughter were scoffed at by the Florida judge who presided over her murder trial.

Anthony recently gave her first interview since the 2008 death of her daughter Caylee on Peacock’s three-part docuseries Where the Truth Lies.

On the doc, Anthony claimed that her father George accidentally smothered Caylee during a sexual attack, then drowned the toddler to cover it up. He has denied the sick allegations and cops have never implicated him.

For Judge Belvin Perry Jr. it’s all too much. He didn’t believe her story during her 2011 trial and he doesn’t buy it now.

He told the U.K. Sun: “Casey Anthony’s believability is pretty much zero.”

A jury acquitted Anthony during the trial of killing two-year-old Caylee in the explosive trial that left her with the title Most Hated Woman in America.

For her part, Anthony denied any wrongdoing — even though cadaver dogs picked up traces of human remains in her car.

Caylee’s remains were eventually found near the family home in Orlando.

“It’s still something I can’t piece together but I wasn’t the only one home. I’m not outright accusing him (George Anthony) of murder but it wasn’t an accident in the pool,” she said on the documentary.

“When I was eight-years-old my father started to come into my room at night. I was physically hurt … scared because I can’t tell mommy what happened, she’ll get mad at me — that’s what I was told. With my father, the abuse one day just stopped, right before my 12th birthday.

“Then my brother started coming in shortly after I turned 12 and it stopped around the time I was 15. It wasn’t the same thing that happened with my father, my brother never raped me, but it was close enough where there was a pattern.”

Anthony’s outrageous allegations have never been proven.

“Nothing surprises me about her anymore,” Judge Perry told the newspaper.

“One question I have is why would George, who clearly loved this child beyond measure, take a simple drowning of a child, not call 911 to see if she can be resuscitated, then duct tape the body of the child and place it in garbage bags, and then dump it in a swap-like area?

“No normal human being does that. George was a former police officer.

‘Why would someone take a tragic drowning and turn it into something else? You just don’t do that. … I’ve never heard of such a case. Casey’s always been one for dramatic flair … (her claims) are just not believable at all.”

The judge also said that Anthony has a Jeykll and Hyde nature. In front of the jury, she was demur, “very calm, very collected.”

“But when the jury was not there she was very much in charge. Her personality became a lot more outgoing, she was not a shrinking violet anymore, and she was engaging with her attorneys,” the judge said.

“It’s quite evident she knew how to play, work, and take advantage of the audience that she was put before.”

The judge believes Anthony should have been convicted.

“The prosecution made a very strong and compelling case,” he said.
