Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla will not be attending the public memorial service for Caylee Anthony scheduled for Tuesday.  “I’m not invited,” Padilla said.

According to Padilla, Caylee’s grandmother, Cindy Anthony, has stated publicly she does not want him at the service.  “She specifically stated in the media that she didn’t want me there, so I can’t go.”

Padilla and his nephew posted a $500,000 bond to bail Caylee’s mother, Casey Anthony, 22, out of jail in Aug. 2008, amidst much dismay and outcry from the public. 
 
Shortly after bailing Anthony out of jail, Padilla’s relationship with the Anthony family began to sour.  He has made a number of television appearances stating his belief that Anthony murdered her daughter. 

Anthony eventually returned to jail and is now charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee. 

Padilla said, “It’s a battle of the titans.  She [Cindy] figures its Cindy’s memorial, not Caylee’s, so she can invite and disinvite me, I’ve got no problem with that.”

The public memorial service for the slain toddler will be held at the First Baptist Church of Orlando on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009, at 10 a.m.
