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.

If several of these jurors felt she did it from the evidence, but met for less than 10 hours. If the Murder 1 bar was too high, they should have spent a hell of a lot more time sorting through the evidence (which was compelling) to see if they should find her guilty of manslaughter or aggravated child abuse. The speed with which they came to these not guilty verdicts is alarming considering that we keep hearing feedback about how they believed she was involved.
This jury was a failure. There were six weeks of testimony and evidence, and it is pretty clear they spent almost no time reviewing it. In the 10 hours, they had to select a foreman on the front end, and work through the paperwork on the back-end, with meals in between. There is no way they properly considered these lesser charges with any significance. In my opinion, they fell for the defenses false claims to muddy the water...and wanted to go home.
For those claiming this was a brilliant example of the system working, I say the opposite. It shows we need reform of how juries are selected and the ability of defense attorneys to rewrite the rules from ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ to ‘beyond any doubt.’ The jury selection process is broken as anyone with critical thinking skills gets weeded out in exchange for ignoramuses.
By "attacking the jury", do you include posters at FR? If so, do you ever engage in criticism of Obama? If so, does that constitute an "attack"? Should I be calling the secret Service on you?
This is a ‘Damn Yankee’..........
LOL !!!! A little pun, a “Damp Yankee”.
I didn’t say they were required to, I just said that is a big problem for the prosecutions case.
Do you disagree that when a prosecutor cannot say “This is how the victim died” that they have an uphill fight towards conviction?
Life should be hard for the stupid and the lazy. It’s justice or hyperbole. She is being dramatic to up the ante for her first paid interview.
The only tears shed by the matronly dressed and 6 inch lowered chair woman at the defense table were tears for herself, never ever for her daughter, or parents, or friends. The defense was smart to shorten her chair, dress her the way they did but the smartest move they made was demanding the court move the defense table from in front of the judge to against the wall very far away from the jury...
I’m amazed at the hatred shown towards the jurors. Shows how the media is in control - no wonder barry won and no wonder there isn’t this same hatred towards the actions of this administration as it brings America down. How could one claim to be so concerned about one 2 yr old but the millions aborted doesn’t get the same hatred x’s a million by this pro abortion administration. If it were even close, this administration would be feeling the heat as much as these jurors.
Yes. This one stayed. Ergo, damn.............
No doubt. Most criminal cases never even get to a jury. Very few. Common Criminals normally plea bargain. Casey was offered various lesser charge pleas by the State.. She chose to face a Murder 1 trial. How does that square with the Howling Lynch Mob demanding Justice for Caylee? They make me sick.
Its really pretty simple.
Was there proof of a crime? No, there was only proof that a death occurred. If you can’t prove a crime occurred then nothing else matters.
The prosecutors didn’t have the evidence. About the only action that can be taken now is against the defense attorney for his unethical behavior.
Derelict in their assigned duties to carefully weigh the evidence, not consider penalty phase or motive, sick of being sequestered, too weak to do some actual deliberating (first vote was 6-6, QUITE different from the outcome) and I could go on and on.
They were weak so they caved and bailed. And they're upset that people are upset that Caylee was thrown away a second time??
I suspect what is really going on is that this dame has been reading and watching television, either feels guilty or like a total dumbass, and is too ashamed to face her family, neighbors, and co-workers. Only they know that she's on the jury because THEIR NAMES HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED.
I smell Drama Queen, bigtime.
Try to seek some help.
Josef Stalin once remarked, "A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.".....................
The Jurors and the defense team are all now accomplices to the murder of this poor innocent little girl,and they will be held accountable for it by almighty God IMHO
A double ROGER to you both. Thanks for making those points. Excellent!
The profit they reap, won’t be worth much there.
And if this juror isn't being paranoid, the cops making arrests of anyone threatening jurors should help to take care of the problem.
You’re right.
My husband said, "well, they didn't prove she did it beyond a shadow of a doubt." I couldn't believe he said it.
