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.

Oh please. I’m not taking my opinions from the media, although some here might. My opinions are coming from the facts of the case. I watched some of the trial, I read a lot of the transcripts, and when available, I looked at the evidence. Since I seldom agree with MSM, it is unfair to say I drew my opinions from the source, and many here will tell the same is true for them.
But now that we’re talking about it, how much of this case did YOU follow?
Totally agree with that!!!!

Casey was missing another 16 days, which is 31 days...
Did the mother report the baby missing? NO...The grandmother did.
The mother, Casey, was dancing, drinking, getting a tatoo that said 'beautiful life, and entered a hot body contest.
This is evidence of neglect.
This part is not densely populated like the east coat and central regions.
There are miles and miles of rural areas and sparsely inhabited woods..........except for bears, snakes and alligators..............
You saw arguments about evidence that were taken out of the jury's view. You saw motions that were taken out of the presence of the jury. Most of all you saw a whole list of media whores pumping up the public on a daily basis to get ever higher ratings.
We've been close to the edge before, but now we're leaning over the abyss.
Thank you for having common sense...
Overtired??? Mob mentality??? You know go along to get along. And maybe they just wanted the heck out of there and made a snap decision. Who knows? What they did though was make a huge mistake. They just let a murderous fend off scott free.
There were other charges available, including a child abuse or neglect charge and manslaughter. They only voted guilty for the lying charges. But I ask again, WHAT, EXACTLY, WAS SHE LYING ABOUT? Please, do think about that.
HUH???? LOLOLOL..... did you say manslaughter was not one of the options the jury could have selected?? Yes, it surely was.
Wow, proof that many on this site who defend the lazy, idiot jurors do so without facts.
That’s absolutely true. I also think people are in a fury because this mother waited 31 days and then it wasn’t her that called police it was her frantic mother. All the while Casey was out partying and getting a tattoo that said life is beautiful. That just enrages me.
I second your *sigh*...
sheesh!
And the older women are often called “blue hairs.”
I have no doubt in my mind that Casey killed Caylee, whether on purpose, in a rage, by neglect, on drugs, drunk or otherwise.
But the evidence must be followed and the evidence must be presented in a court of law. And that evidence must prove beyond a reasonable doubt not just that Caylee died, not just that her death was a result of an action of another, but that Casey herself was directly responsible for Caylee’s death.
We “know” she was, but the evidence must “prove” she was. The prosecutor overreached, and in doing so he rolled the dice that the jury would side with him and fill in the blanks without him providing evidence.
It was a rickety bridge he constructed and the jury felt that it didn’t hold up when he tried to drive his charges across.
I would love to do Jury duty - I have never been summoned.
It’s not like you can call up and volunteer.
My gf said they had a stack of papers to read over of instructions. She believes there was no way they could have read all the instructions and came to that conclusion in 11 hours.
Giving rise to the classic bumper sticker, “We don’t care how you did it up North!”
That’s fine if it was. I hadn’t come across any information suggesting that it wasn’t an either/or type of conviction. However, having said that, the prosecution still failed to prove its case.
You don’t convict somebody, just because you think they should be convicted.
