The woman, known only as juror number 12 left her job and went into hiding fearing co-workers would 'want her head on a platter'.
Her husband said before leaving she told him: 'I’d rather go to jail than sit on a jury like this again.'
He told NBC News he was worried for her health and had his bags packed ready to leave if his 60-year-old wife's name gets released.
The woman, who moved to Florida from Michigan fled the area, retiring from her job working at Publix Grocery over the phone because she didn't feel safe.

Damn lynch mob mentality I tells ya!
lol. Thanks for putting that picture as I watch the band wagon jumpers unfamiliar with the case post away.
“I have no idea how I would have voted unless I saw the evidence. The only thing I know is she was declared not guilty by a jury. “
At least you admit you speak from ignorance. Good on you.
They had someone on the jury that was guiding them toward this verdict. There was someone who was guiding the thinking on meeting the highest level of proof for each count, without any reasonable doubt, starting with the first degree murder. He told them that if the prosecution could not even tell you how the child died, you could not be sure it was, indeed, murder. Then, he went on to manslaughter- same thing, didn’t know if it was murder or an accident, or even who did it- could have been George.
On down the line, convincing the jury that there was reasonable doubt for each charge. Once they bought into it for the first degree murder, it was easy to convince the same people for the rest of the charges. The fact that first degree murder in Florida could easily result in the death penalty made it easier to convince the jury that they needed absolute proof, without any doubt, of the circumstances surrounding the death.
I think that the verdict should have been 2nd degree, manslaughter, but if they voted for manslaughter, they had to vote for child abuse, which was really a no brainer, and that would have elevated the charge back to 1st degree. So, they voted to acquit on all charges.
The jurors thought that they were doing their job, but what they were really doing was abdicating. They basically said that we can’t make up our minds, so we are going to acquit.
It should have been a hung jury.
I know and they were wrong to do so. Ideally you can’t.

You’re welcome.
What??????
Isn’t this being swayed by emotions not fact?
Buh bye...this comment takes the cake...
I’m sure you understand, along with the Fifth Amendment we have the First! without the First we have no Fifth!
Right now to forget Casey and the whore Anthony family(?) I’m going to buy a fifth!:-}

No. I only said that extraneous situations can sway a jury.
No she is not and those here who are having the time of their lives playing “lynch the jury” should consider they are no better than Casey Anthony.
Google must not like them...
hehe
You are one of the most ignorant, rabble-rousers on these Casey threads and you need to cut it out. Lynch mob buffoons that are no better than the object of your hatred - Casey Anthony.
What a piece of slime you are. Of course I'm ignorant of the evidence. So are you and everyone else who wasn't in the courtroom. Take your insults and jump in a swamp.

My guns are always clean.
