ORANGE COUNTY, Fla.
-- A Florida prison inmate wrote a letter concerning the Casey Anthony
case in July 2009 and Eyewitness News obtained a copy Monday
(read it).
READ LETTER: Jerry Jackson's
Letter |
Inmate's Mug
Jerry Jackson is a 21-year-old inmate
(see
mug) 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."
Jackson wrote, if no one responded by August 15, he'd take the
information to his grave. Jackson has received mental health treatment and has
told Eyewitness News in the past he's committed unsolved crimes that police say
is not true.
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.
