Casey Anthony juror, 60, quits work and flees town in fear of her life

Daily Mail Reporter ^ | 7/11/11 | Daily Mail Reporter

[Dr. Scarpetta]

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.

Well stated. You are a credit to the Class of ‘98.

I don’t hate you, BTW.

But the ranting of the yahoo Columbos and Perry Masons on these threads is getting tiresome.

[Palladin]

You are hysterical. No one is going to take a juror’s life over this. They may be subjected to unpopularity and ridicule, but bottom line, most of them will make a pretty penny off of this case.

[commonguymd]

That charge was available to the jury.

[Jonty30]

No. There are people out there who would think along the lines that if Casey didn’t pay the price for what she’d done, somebody should pay. That’s what blood feuds are all about and you see these kinds of blood feuds played out in the inner cities, or whereever else gangs reside, all the time.

That is hardly a hysterical position, considering such things happen all the time.

I'm with you.....look at the evidence. I posted some of what was reported from court testimony in post 410 , this thread.

I believe the defense explained away the duct tape (three layers) saying it was to prevent leaking body fluids.

Here's a link to what happens to a body after death. Timely Death From the link,
............"Body Decomposition: At death, the body begins to decompose. Bacteria go to work on the tissues and by 24 to 36 hours the smell of rotting flesh appears and the skin takes on a progressive greenish-red color. By 3 days, gas forms in the body cavities and beneath the skin, which may leak fluid and split. From there, things get worse. Add to this, predation by animals and insects and the body can become completely skeletonized before long. In hot, humid climes, this can happen in 3 or 4 weeks."...............

If she was just trying to dump the body after an accidental death, why the duct tape at the time? It would not have leaked body fluids immediately, and actually the whole body leaks fluid with the gas build-up. Other areas would also leak fluids - pelvic area. Why only the duct tape on the face?

As far as the smell of a dead body in the trunk, Expert for defense admits Casey's car smelled

.........."For example, Ashton got Huntington, a key defense expert, to admit that when he examined Casey Anthony's Pontiac Sunfire in July, roughly two years after Caylee's death, the car still smelled. "............

“The jurors names should be published. There is no reason for secrecy.”

I think Judge Perry made a big mistake when he told the jurors their names would be kept confidential. If they’d known their identities might be revealed after the trial, something tells me they would have taken their sworn duty a lot more seriously and actually looked at the evidence and deliberated before coming up with their verdict. Heck, they might have even paid attention during the whole trial instead of just latching onto Baez’s pack of lies in his opening statement and ignoring what the prosecution presented.

we saw everything and then some that the jury saw and were stunned that they came to the opposite conclusion.

You are at least the 3rd tv watcher who claims to have seen all of the evidence. Weird. I had not heard that each and every piece of evidence (especially the photos of Caylee) had been placed in front of the tv cameras for the home jury to view.

[dmz]

Count me among those that knew she was guilty beyond any reasonable doubt and beyond ALL doubt.

<><><><

I’m guessing you “knew” that before the trial started.

[Jonty30]

Or maybe they would have just rendered a guilty verdict for the sake of self protection. This way all the prosecution has to say is, “she did it” and rest his case.

It works both ways.

Thanks for the heads-up, Dr. Scarpetta. I saw Classy Mason on the Today show this a.m. and I am not sure that I can stomach another dose of him in the same day. Of course he has the perfect excuse for flipping the bird.....it was directed at someone who deserved it; someone who “done him wrong”, sniff, sniff.

[dmz]

I followed the case and read every piece of evidence, all transcripts of interviews and watched all videos from the jail, and listened to the recordings, and then I watched the entire trial start to finish. I even trekked the swamps.

Appropos of nothing, but why would you do all that?

[roses of sharon]

Letting a child murderer go free was bound to have repercussions.

I don't feel like seeing him either.

I was touched by a missing little girl that was reportedly kidnapped by a vanishing nanny and I have many friends in Orlando.

Well said...

You are a buffoon

You are a buffoon too.

ahh yes thank you, how could I have missed the best source of them all.

“Or maybe they would have just rendered a guilty verdict for the sake of self protection....It works both ways.”

You could be right. But something needs to be done to restore the public’s faith in the integrity of our jury system. It would have been easier for me to accept their verdict if they’d actually taken the time to deliberate. Just 11 hrs (less time for picking a foreperson, reading/understanding the rules, meals and breaks) for a 6-week trial tells me their minds were already made up when they went into the jury room.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Mason should take Casey in if she has no place to go. She could babysit for his family.
