Anthony, who is now 35, was acquitted in 2011 of her daughter’s murder and other charges

One of the jurors who voted to acquit Casey Anthony of first-degree murder in the Florida death of her 2-year-old daughter is speaking about the panel’s decision a decade later, reportedly saying it "haunts me to this day."

"I think now if I were to do it over again, I'd push harder to convict her of one of the lesser charges like aggravated manslaughter," the anonymous juror said, according to People Magazine. "At least that. Or child abuse. I didn't know what the hell I was doing, and I didn't stand up for what I believed in at the time."

Anthony, who is now 35, was acquitted in 2011 of her daughter’s murder and charges of aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child. But she was found guilty on four counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer.

As some lawyers do, if we are to believe tv movies, why do you think you were allowed to become a juror?

that was a tragedy! Casy should have been found guilty of at least child endangerment.
I never believed the “Daddy Molested Me” story. Made that up to spare her the death penalty. Who knew she would luck out and walk away scot free.

The defense did a great job at voir dire and put on a great case.

That whole family was complicit. I live in Florida and I remember the day they confirmed the remains. I was at work and cried my eyes out.

That Casey is still breathing is a tragedy.

i read alot about that case, Cindy Anthony was an enabler of Casey’s bad habits.
I understand being protective of your kids, but Casey was rotten back in high school! Cindy always cleaned up her messes.
Even to this day Cindy defends her.
I would not be able to even look at Casy if she was my kid.

I caught a ‘Dateline’ or a ‘2020’ a few weeks back hinting at Scott Peterson getting a new trial after being found guilty of killing his wife (Laci) and unborn son 20 years ago, now! His Death Penalty sentence has already been overturned, so, I guess, he can date again, LOL!

Scott Peterson may be innocent. Certainly he is not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The media convicted him.

She had a face like Skeletor.

She was more like a dirty skank, never hot unless she had been fried in Old Sparky as she deserved.

Nope, it’s on the juror’s conscience. They can darn well live with it.
