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.

Maybe Casey can think of a good hiding place for her.
When jurors make money writing books and value their decisions on monetary reward, yes it is broken to some degree. People get convicted rightfully so with very little evidence, yet this case had mountains if you in fact followed it. A non-guilty verdict is likely going to be more valuable to the jurors that want to speak out and write books. That is the sad part of this whole affair. Blame the media that rewards bad behavior. The parents apparently have signed a 2 million dollar deal to profit off the death, of which they have profited enormously from already. The perjury on the stand knowing where the profit was is sad.
I am under the impression that you consider yourself the absolute authority on the verdict. What about people who watched the entire trial, saw all the evidence presented and came to a different conclusion than yours? To say those people who were angry because the felt the jury didn't do there job is an insult. You and others who call people who disagree with the verdict a mob act like pompous asses.
Then I guess the same can be said for all the “Voters” that voted for Obama.
We shouldn’t be second guessing and mocking their decision either.
Just doing their civic duty, right?
I may have to accept the jury verdict but I dont have to respect it. I saw the same evidence they did. they only took 10 hours to go over the testamony? no guily on on counts. Prosecutors did not overreach. They could have come back with manslaughter.
They were just plain lazy and wanted to go home. They are just going to have to live with the critisim.
I agree. The media keep pumping this like there is no end, and there's plenty more they can be reporting on. In the meantime, they have the whole country second guessing their votes.
Enough is enough.
lol...Making friends this early I see!!
It’s easy to jump on a wagon when the wagon finally stopped and play devil’s advocate for fun and sanctimonious glee - when you haven’t followed the case or studied the evidence, the mountains of evidence. Methinks, part of the problem is they watch the 30 minute crime shows where everything is tidy and wrapped up quickly.
I think you’re on to something there. I’ve been on a couple juries and there’s no way that case with weeks of testimony in the courtroom should have been decided with so little deliberation. Slam, Dunk, Let’s get outta here.
She’s shopping for the “right” interview.
To threaten and wish harm upon the jury is Frankenstein like mob behavior and has no place in a civilized country.
How many people throwing insults and condemnation have ever served on a jury? Most likely the people like you did everything they could to get out of serving.
Ping
I think I agree with you
Drama queen, or has she had actual threats?
But of course! If people want another civil war I'll be happy to accommodate.
More pomposity. If the jury was wrong, those who saw all the evidence and disagreed had a right to insult the jury. Did you defend the OJ jury? Why is your opinion of the jury’s verdict the only correct opinion?
She’s gonna sue for something.....Or maybe they discovered she WAS a plant...
Imagine someone wanting to go home to their family after 6 weeks of being sequestered. the HORROR
Drama Queen
