Inmate Details Anthony's Response To Death Penalty

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orange County Jail officials are denying a report that Casey Anthony had to be restrained the day she found out the state was seeking the death penalty.

A corrections spokesman confirmed that a woman who posted a report on a Web site was in Casey Anthony's pod in April when she learned the state was seeking the death penalty against her.

The report is posted on RadarOnline.com and said that Casey Anthony was in a dining area and started yelling and getting angry when she heard the news.

Anthony is in the Orange County Jail charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of her daughter, Caylee.

“I have been able to confirm that there was no time in which inmate Anthony had to be placed on a restraint bed,” Orange County jail spokesman Allen Moore said in an e-mail. “Additionally, there is no indication that the incident, as described in the tabloid media, ever occurred. As we have stated before, Casey Anthony has been a very cooperative inmate who follows jail rules and has created no operational problems or disruptions.”

The woman, identified as Teri Narsesian, 44, said Anthony was screaming and thrashing in the bed. At one point, Thomas said Anthony looked at her through tears and asked her for help.

Narsesian was in jail for three weeks in April on charges of violating her probation for a bed check charge.
