A juror in the Casey Anthony trial has told how she received death threats and has been unable to work since she was cleared of murder.
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.

I shall make it even more clear. Stop trying to have it both ways: admit that you think that the jury's choice was the correct choice.
The names have to be released it is public information and always avaiable.I think they were incrediably stupid some of the thigns I’ve heard them say in interviews but if they didn’ want their names released they should not have served on it.
I saw that and just like the others he was an idiot and did not udnerstand the testimony he heeard.The chloraform testimonty same from the FBI the counter came from some unknow “expect” they paid.Reasonable doubt does not mean no doubt at all.

I already said I accepted the validity of the court’s decision.
A red-haired woman in her 60s who moved to Florida from Michigan, she told the court she worked at a Publix Grocery when she was questioned as a potential juror.
Now, she’s in hiding.
Juror number 12 left Florida. Her husband, fighting back tears, tells NBC News he’s not sure when she’ll return to her home in Florida.
Why? He says she fears half of her co-workers want her head on a platter.
The others may understand what she did, but she didn’t want to face them.
She was due to retire in the fall, but Juror number 12, after being released from sequestration, chose to call her boss to announce she couldn’t come to work. She didn’t feel safe.
She retired over the phone.
The husband, who sat with two NBC News producers, glanced repeatedly at his blood pressure monitor on the coffee table and the Bible next to it.
******
A little melodramatic wouldn’t you say? Sitting with NBC producers no les.
Exactly I watched the whole thing on court tv and heard the same case.The jury took what the defense said as gosple and he did not even have to priove anything but put the idea into their heads.They really were stupid IMHO!

Was it painted in the minds of the jury so rigidly that without cold, hard evidence they cannot convict purely on circumstantial evidence. I kinda think this is the main reason—they knew she was involved but no smoking gun. If only just one juror had hung up the whole process a different tune would be sung.
Perjurer Cindy Anthony Writing Book Supports Defense Claims About George
According to a cousin, Casey Anthony’s mother, Cindy, is writing a book in which she will explain how the defense claims about George in the opening statement are true.
A 2nd Cousin to Cindy called into a Houston, TX radio show –104.1 KRBE Roula & Ryan Show (link below) stating how Cindy had a ”conference” call with only her side of the family giving details confirming to them George’s participation as the Defense claimed in their opening statement at the murder trial.
Cindy will release these new details in a book already in the works …. Cindy lied on the witness stand, can we believe her now ??? Is this another ploy of Cindy’s to save her daughter from the world’s hatred?

After finding Casey Anthony guilty of four counts of lying to law enforcement (“A gimme,” said Juror No. 2) they discussed the most serious charge: first-degree murder. There are only two sentences: life in prison without parole or death by lethal injection.
The state’s theory is that Casey Anthony suffocated her daughter with duct tape, then dumped her body in a swamp near the home they shared with the girl’s grandparents. She didn’t want to be a mother anymore, the state said, and she partied with friends and got a tattoo while her child was unaccounted for.
But the only forensic evidence was possible signs of human decomposition in the mother’s trunk, and the child’s decomposed remains found six months later.
The first vote was 10-2 against first-degree murder.
“We didn’t know how she died, we didn’t know when she died,” said Juror No. 2, who was one of the 10. “Technically, we didn’t even know where she died.
“You couldn’t say who did it. To me, that’s why it was aggravated manslaughter of a child.”
• • •
That was the next charge the jury could have found 25-year-old Casey Anthony guilty of. It carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison. Juror No. 2 believed the mother was guilty of “culpable negligence” as required of that charge. He wasn’t alone.
The vote on Tuesday was 6-6 for manslaughter. The two sides hardened. They started talking over one another. The jury foreman calmed them all down.
Here the defense’s theory was key: They told the jury that Caylee accidentally drowned and the family tried to cover it up. But the defense also accused George Anthony of sexually abusing his daughter Casey — a charge he denied. The defense said the abuse trained Casey Anthony to lie and live in denial.
The jury didn’t believe anything George Anthony said on the stand, according to Juror No. 2.
But more importantly to the jurors who opposed the manslaughter charge, no one could say who was Caylee’s caretaker — the mother or the grandparents — when the child actually died.
If it was murder, who did it? If she died accidentally, then who was the child’s caretaker? But Juror No. 2 didn’t buy that.
“The six that voted guilty said it didn’t matter at what point in time she came home and found out her daughter was missing,” he said. “She had to report it in some way, shape or form, and that’s where the negligence came in.”
But some jurors, he said, had decided not to convict Casey Anthony of any charge in the girl’s death. By lunch Tuesday, the guilty side started to lose votes.
Juror No. 2 was the last holdout. Deliberations lasted for 11 hours over two days. They filed into court at 2:15 p.m. Tuesday to hand over their verdict.
“We truly don’t know what happened,” he said. “Somebody knows, but we don’t know.” …

Why are you posting on this thread then?
Just trying to blend in with the herd?
People have an interest in this case because they feel for the VICTIM and God forbid at any time they have family members that are victims of crimes, they want justice for their family.
Instead of running around and saying “we have the best system in the world, get over it” , I prefer “we have the best system in the world but
cases like this prove we have much work to be done”.
We could start with the definition of reasonable doubt, for one.
Then why is she still living with George and seen walking holding his hand?
6-6 vote for Manslaughter...
And in one day 6 morons changed the other 6 morons minds? (I don’t know which 6 are more idiotic.)
Dick Lynch? Pat Lynch? Ryan Lynch? Could you be more specific and as an aside are you Irishphobic?
So now post jury tampering will be coming in now. If the jury can be intimidated, then what happens when a big case comes along, the gov’t is hell bent on conviction and the jury votes for not guilty, not the jury will get punished for their decision by threats and intimidation. Time to be very scared !
Lynch. Meaning Mob Rule. Lacking the rule of Law.
Exactly.. This trial was a travesty.
How did we ever convinct ANYBODY in the 1800s without DNA evidence? Nearly every case was based on circumstantial evidence, yet we still managed to put guilty people in jail.
The verdict was wrong and these jurors should be ashamed of themselves. They cut short deliberations because they wanted to get their summer vacations started.
Disgraceful.
Drama queen. Meaning melodramatic person. All pathos no logos.
