Casey Anthony Juror: We Were ‘Sick to Our Stomachs’ Over Not Guilty Verdict

» 71 comments

In an exclusive interview set to air on ABC World News and Nightline, Casey Anthony juror Jennifer Ford said she and the other jurors cried and were “sick to our stomachs” after voting to acquit Anthony of charges that she killed her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

“I did not say she was innocent,” said Ford, who had previously only been identified as juror number 3. “I just said there was not enough evidence. If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be.”

Ford described the jury as emotional and upset at their own vote, feelings that led the jurors to decide not to speak with reporters immediately after the verdict was read in court. “Everyone wonders why we didn’t speak to the media right away,” Ford said. “It was because we were sick to our stomach to get that verdict. We were crying and not just the women. It was emotional and we weren’t ready. We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial.”

    To all of us who made this point before this woman echoed our thoughts, congratulations. For all of you who would have killed this woman because of your personal emotions, take a good look at yourselves!! Your almost as disgusting as Casey Anthony. Your the type of people that would have been present, and shouting the loudest at the Salem Witch burnings!

    I say. BITE ME… You made millions of people sick to their stomach that nobody is going to be held accountable for the death of the child.

    Many times before, people have been convicted of murder based on circumstantial evidence. You could have gone with a lesser degree of charges. You didn’t even convict on child abuse charges. Clearly there was abuse, the child is dead. She was discarded like garbage, it was no accident that she was wrapped in garbage bags along with the blanket from her bed, and thrown into the swampy area. No 911 call to report an accidental death, so no way I’ll ever believe it was an accident.

    Go cry in your pillow and don’t beg for our sympathies for your choice to let that child murderer go free of any charges for the death of that beautiful little girl.

  • Simba

    I didn’t expect the death penalty, didn’t think they had enough evidence for that. But really thought that she would spend some time in prison for it. Not go free.

    The accusers in Salem were mostly children.

    It’s called “Flaking out”.

    The evidence was in order. You lady and all the other jurors, like most human beings when called upon to do the right thing. Take the easy way out.

    A month’s worth of “evidence” was decided in less 48 hours. Just so you could get back to your pointless lives.
    I wish could blame my Daddy for every thing wrong in my life….

    FYI: Keep tabs on anyone the age of 4. They maybe suicidal and will try to kill themselves and will attempt drive out to the country-side to die.

    And the executioners were all supposedly adults?

    She and 11 others went by the law. respect their decision as if you had been on trial. Not Guilty does not mean Innocent. it means they failed to make their case and the bad guys walk. This is nothing new and promotes the sayig “Would rather have murders walk the streets than one innocent person sit in jail”

  • DonnaK

    Cry me a river Juror 3 there are a lot of us sick at our stomaches, that didn’t have a chance to do something about it, like you jurors!! No one took notes, asked for extra information, and made up your minds in 10 hours…Every one of them should be heart sick, every time they see a picture or hear about Caylee Marie Anthony…

  • Just my Opinion

    They could have salved their damn conscience by going with guilty on the lesser
    Manslaughter charge. Where the hell was the common sense?
    But they will all get their 15 minutes.
    Watch! Some will do a book. Others will profit with interviews, etc.
    In my opinion EACH of them should serve some time for Aiding and Abetting.
    F em all.

    I suspect you misunderstood what I mean’t. But I would agree wholeheartedly that we should respect the jurors decision, and celebrate the system that would much rather let a murderer walk the streets than convict and innocent woman.

  • lobodons

    If that’s what they thought, they should have held out for a hung jury and let the prosecution try her again.

  • Ardiva

    HOW? Casey Anthony was pretty clever to wait 30 days to report child missing. Then no evidence of how child was killed on badly decomposed body of Caylee.

  • 2012freedom

    They could have convicted her of a lesser crime. They could have found her guilty of aggravated child abuse. It was not up to the jury to determine the punishment at that point. They only had to determine guilt or innocence.

    Jurys sometimes do issue compromise verdicts, like you suggest, but that would probably be grounds for a new trial. The jury did not believe the prosecutor’s presented enough evidence to proove that the defendant committed the act.

    That was pretty smart..who thought of that? Casey or her father? Mother? Who decided to have her ‘pretend” nothing was wrong and keep partying? Casey? Her Father? Mother? Who actually planted the body? Casey? Father? Mother? Brother? Who let the gurl get free in the yard to drown? oh she didn’t drown? Wait, the mom never hurt her before and had baby sitters so did she just flip one day? do you see the possible doubts?

    Something they needed to work on before trial? Which having a cop ignore calls of a body found for 5 months????? One cop actually getting pissed cause he “fall down” and didn’t do his job and find the body the guy kept telling him was there? the same cop fired for not doing his job? The good guys messed up.. and in the end over prosecuted/charged through MEDIA pressures in my opinion.

  • goldmind

    Those who showed outrage, are made of the same fabric as those who crucified Christ. They buy into the media frenzy, just as those masses who stoned and cursed him along his walk to Golgotha. Dipshits. Mob morons…one and all. I seriously doubt any of them will be heard from if they even hear about the recent murders of two children here in Madison. Why? Because the scumbags in charge of media…will not be able to bleed this incident as cleverly as they did the Anthony case. Media, loves murder, when it profits their ratings and bank books.

    Their job was to uphold the law, and the law is innocent until proven guilty. It was not proven. It isn’t their job to find the killer, they’re not detectives

  • redleaf

    The jurors should have been able to watch cable news, read the tabloids and decide on Anthony’s guilt because “she’s, like, just totally guilty, you can tell.”

    The idea that the jury can only consider the arguments and evidence presented at trial is lame and proves that Obama hates America.

    Not the people who tried and convicted the people accused, on the unsupported gibberish of children!! That behavior couldn’t be excused then, and it certainly won’t be now. The jury system proved itself again. Emotionalism was set aside, and objectivity ruled the day.

  • CAconservative

    Valkyre101:

    There should be no such thing as a “compromise verdict”. If a charge cannot be supported with fact, the person accused must never be subjected to a compromise! That person must be acquitted, period!

    Obviously, you didn’t listen to any of the trial. The medical examiner said that the body showed absolutely no signs of abuse. There were never any reports that Casey abused Caylee . In fact, quite the contrary – it was testified that she was a good loving mother.

    How do you know she wrapped Kaylee in that garbage bag and threw her into the swampy area? There was absolutely no proof that she did it at all. No fingerprints, no DNA, no fibre – no hair – NOTHING tying her to the crime.

    And there was no answer to the questions What, when, how and why.

    I think you are nuts or Italian. You see, in italy they believe you should be able to allow juries to consider all the tabloid garbage in the newspapers. And you should feel damn lucky that they don’t here. How would you like to be railroaded into prison based on the Nancy Grace being judge and jury?

    The job of the prosecutor is to find the TRUTH and deliver the FACTS. There are times that the prosecutor has found that the TRUTH will prove that the defendant didn’t do it, so they have an obligation to let the defendant go and drop all charges.

    Likewise, a jury has the duty to consider the evidence – the FACTS of the evidence and testimony and determine whether the person is guilty “BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT”.

    If the state prosecutor has failed to answer the questions of who, when, how, and why -they have left the jury with REASONABLE DOUBT.

  • MBW

    As someone who has been on a jury myself. I think they made a tough call, but the right one.

    If you can’t prove it beyond reasonable doubt, you can’t convict. That’s how the justice system works.

  • Hippychix

    Poor Jennifer and her “cousins” on the jury. She asked to be on this jury. Her life is gonna suck now. Oh well. Maybe we can all mail her some TUMS because her stomach is gonna ache for a long time. They did not understand the judges directions at all. The reasonable doubt thing was confusing to all of them.

  • rocky road

    Juror No 3, shut the hell up. You and the other 11 are idiots. We are sick to our stomachs because we can’t believe how lazy and intellectually ignorant you and the rest of the jurors are. You are too stupid to understand evidence and too lazy to take notes or pay attention. You enjoyed being in a nice hotel and when you were ready to go home, you bailed. You are a waste of breath.

    The time I served on a jury for a medical malpractice case, we were only allowed to consider information that had been presented in the trial.

    We were not permitted to obtain additional information, nor were we permitted to take notes (except once we started to deliberate). Likewise, we were not permitted to view any court transcripts.

    The case I sat on was in the local media quite a bit and we took some heat from the local press for our decision too……all I can say is that it’s easy to jump to conclusions when you haven’t seen everything that has been presented in court.

    I agree. The jurors didn’t take their charge seriously, at all.
    They just thought, “woo hoo! Free HBO and our meals delivered!”
    I bet they played cards for 10 hours and then said, “can we get out of here? The new season of Big Brother is about to premiere and I don’t have TiVo.”
    And I’m sure that was enough for them to say, “She’s innocent. Let’s go home.”

    I can’t believe they were stupid enough to listen to the prosecutors and defense attorneys and decide if Anthony was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is for idiots who don’t read tabloids and watch Entertainment Tonight. If they weren’t so stupid, they could have turned on their beloved hotel room TV, watched some Extra and gotten the real story. Then they could have ignored their jury instructions and ignored everything the prosecutors and defense attorneys presented.

    There wasn’t a simple manslaughter charge. Nor was there a “negligent homicide” charge. There were only two to consider – Aggravated Manslaughter and First Degree Murder.

    The Prosecutor overcharged their case.

    I just watched HLN and Nancy Grace for 5 minutes or so. It’s almost breath taking the witch hunt carnival atmosphere they have been creating. Complete strangers to the family are crying and so on. Now they are investigating the jurors and mad that 1 juror will give an interview and be paid for it. Everyone else is getting paid so why shouldn’t jurors get paid for interviews after the fact, and even Casey A. get paid for interviews? Why should only Nancy Grace and HLN make money off the tragedy?

  • Dory

    A courageous jury who took their instructions from the judge very seriously. They set aside their personal feelings and ruled strictly based on the evidence. They knew what they were doing, and they hated doing it, but they did it anyway.

    This is how our jury system should work, even when the outcome, as in this case, is so very hard to take.

  • dougx

    They absolutely did not prove murder. That prosecutor on FNC even admitted that no one knows what happened to the baby. How can you charge murder if you don’t even know a murder was committed? They might have gotten an involuntary manslaughter if she had been charged with that, but nothing more. The involuntary manslaughter makes sense because the baby died, in theory as a result of the mother not taking care of her correctly. Anyway no one knows how she died but you have to give the jury some way to give a compromise verdict.

    The lazy way out would be to convict without evidence. You were not in the jury box . You were sitting at home watching your TV and judging by emotion without having the responsibility of the rule of law.

    The essential evidence for both charges required that she did the act. If the jury felt the evidence was lacking to show that she did the act, but also felt she “probably” did it and did not want to let her walk, agreeing to say the evidence for the lesser charge is enough, but not for the death penalty charge, as a compromise, that is, I believe, grounds for a mistrial.

    Exactly! and her aggravated child abuse (neglecting to tell any authority that her child was missing ) could be construed as leading indirectly to her murder. Let’s say little Casey just happened to be abducted, since her mother apparently didn’t feel there was any sense of urgency, her lack of action could have prevented her daughters death. But we will never know, because this stupid mother apparently didn’t find a missing child that big a deal. Ignoring a child’s existence is child abuse. These jurors could have easily gotten this verdict.

  • thayward

    I think the most important question is, since she manipulated the system AGAIN, will she go out of her way to find the imaginary killer to bring justice for her daughter? Caylee deserves justice and her mother sadly continues to live. Casey… knows what happened, playing innocent, lying and throwing everyone and anyone under the bus, proof her daughter is dead.I am concerned if this LIER had a psychiatric evaluation done? I heard so much of Casey Anthony mixed up, had some issue..blah blah…u would think the defense attorney would be concerned for her safety and her well being to locked up where she could be monitored, thats if life was so bad..yeah right…like the story of accidental drowning was not mentioned until 2 years later when she could of faced the death penalty..which her lawyers knew was a crock story.I truly hope the decisions that took place from the Jurors they can sleep well at night knowing she possibly could be quilty BUT let her walk, if anything she could of been charged of child indangerment, felony on a corpse..what kind of message was sent out here? Its ok to kill a child, call it a accident and not have to pay consequences..her intent was payback to the mother and father for caring soo much to her daughter and she couldn’t stand it..I am a firm believer that justice will prevail, might not be in the courtroom but sometime or somewhere Casey will have to face her demon..God I ask as many others that Caylee rest in peace..shes the innocent one not her mother..

  • agatha

    Jennifer, could you maybe have re-read the judge’s instructions and spent a little time on it before you became sick and cried?:
    1- you had several options for murder. The judge did not say that you had to know how or what she died of, only that “Caylee Marie Anthony was dead” and Casey was criminally responsible. You’re not supposed to get off just because you managed to hide the body long enough to prevent full testing. Caylee was rotting in a swamp with duct tape over her mouth and nose. Because a prosecutor doesn’t have a video of how she got there does not relieve you of your duty as a juror exercising REASONABLE common sense.
    2- you have the right to believe or disbelieve any witness- it’s up to you. So you chose to disbelieve witnesses that spoke of chloroform and decomposition presence in her car but believed the ones who said it was not.
    3- The judge told you that your verdict must be beyond a reasonable doubt not a POSSIBLE doubt. The defense will throw out any stories possible to create any doubt possible. For each point one side has the other side counters it. It is their job. A trial is not full of all one sided facts that each party is in agreement with. And you chose to find it believable that George Anthony, an ex-cop, found that Caylee had drowned and made it look like a murder and dumped her all the way down the street from her house.
    4- And you must have believed Casey was dead- drowned or murdered-or you would have at least found Casey guilty of child abuse- any mother who doesn’t report her toddler “missing” for 31 days surely would meet the instructions of “committing an intentional act that could reasonably be expected to result in
    physical or mental injury to Caylee Marie Anthony.”
    I could go on but I just saw you on TV, all smiles explaining you thought Casey was not innocent but you had no choice. You all cried and were sick and didn’t speak to anyone right after for the sake of integrity and not contributing to the sensationalism of the trial. You and your peers caused the magnitude of the sensationalism yesterday. Thank you for waiting almost 24 hours to let the sensationalism die down and maintain integrity. You also said on your exclusive ABC interview that you couldn’t be responsible for someone else’s death. Again- you had other choices other than first degree murder. If legally the verdict was not supposed to be based on emotion created by the prosecutor then just the same your verdict should not have been based on your personal emotions either. You found her guilty of lying because….clearly she lied- no question. Good for you-I am sorry you couldn’t play the rest of it out to discover it was Mr. Mustard in the Conservatory with the Knife. But there was still a process of elimination, a process of using critical thinking and making inferences. The instructions alone were quite a bit to ingest let alone 6 weeks of testimony and you all spent less than 10 hours to decide 7 verdicts. She’s talked about having another baby……can you live with yourself if something happens to that one?

    …well nobody accused you of being the brightest bulb in the factory now did they?
    There was forensic evidence – the jury refused to consider it. Hair and chloroform. Don’t have any chloroform floating around in my trunk.

    I think the prosecution tried for the whole enchilada instead of settling for manslaughter or negligent homicide.

    If I had been the prosecution I would have done a 31 days diary type of story as to what/where Casey was for the 31 days between her Daughter being seen alive last and finally admitting to her Mother that Caylee was missing.
    31 days of party, tattoo, sex, party, sex ad nauseum. If it doesn’t make sense there is a reason people and it isn’t because Casey was a good Mother! Let me tell you, 3.1 minutes of not knowing where a 2 year old is would be enough to have sent me screaming to find her.

    Hey you sound like Hannity (guess he’s getting lots of flack). Don’t care how long she spent in jail. Even there – she just wanted to talk to her boyfriend, didn’t want to discuss Caylee with her Mother. Now, ask yourself why?

    They used what scientific evidence was possible with what they had to work with- do you expect it to be so black and white all the time? Many have expressed how we have the best justice system in the world- and we thought so too before the dawn of DNA and other forensic evidence- so why now does everything have to be cut and dried to achieve a beyond a reasonable doubt verdict? And for every forensic expert who says one thing, the defense will have one that rebuts it- again you have to make certain inferences and choose who to believe or not. I certainly never want to see an innocent person jailed but what will happen when the guilty just get more savvy about leaving forensic evidence behind? Or a body, like Caylee’s not being found in a timely manner to determine cause of death? I expressed some very harsh feelings about the jurist Jennifer’s statements but I do accept the verdict because that is how our system works and so it is what it is and the Anthony family (including Casey) should not be harassed in any way. It’s over despite anyone’s feelings for poor little Caylee. I find it interesting that so many people here have such opposite opinions- it really makes one think about the system as a whole- is it all in the cards once the jury members are picked?

    Exactly! and her aggravated child abuse (neglecting to tell any authority that her child was missing ) could be construed as leading indirectly to her murder. Let’s say little Casey just happened to be abducted, since her mother apparently didn’t feel there was any sense of urgency, her lack of action could have prevented her daughters death. But we will never know, because this stupid mother apparently didn’t find a missing child that big a deal. Ignoring a child’s existence is child abuse. These jurors could have easily gotten this verdict.

    Obviously you watch alot of Nancy Grace.. you should learn about law too..she might do better at that type of show NGLAW101…oh hell no!!!

    aggravated child abuse:
    (1) The act of abuse, neglect or endangerment results in serious bodily injury to the child;

    (2) A deadly weapon, dangerous instrumentality or controlled substance is used to accomplish the act of abuse, neglect or endangerment; or

    (3) The act of abuse, neglect or endangerment was especially heinous, atrocious or cruel, or involved the infliction of torture to the victim.

    It’s Not missing your child for a few days.. it’s another way to say murder..WHICH didn’t get proven.
    There was no slap a hand for not being with your child for 30 days and not reporting it.
    They overcharged the case!! They proved nothing as to harm to the child by the mother.
    Nothing without reasonable doubt. Obviously she knows something we will never know but the good guys failed and that’s the way our system works.

    “Easy Money”

    It’s difficult. It’s very tough.
    I said to the man who’d been sleeping rough
    To sit within a fragrant breeze
    All among the nodding trees
    That hang heavy with the stuff

    He threw his arms around my neck
    He brushed the tear from my cheek
    And held my soft white hand
    He was an understanding man
    He did not even barely hardly speak

    Easy money
    Rain it down on the wife and the kids
    Rain it down on the house where we live
    Rain until you got nothing left to give
    And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

    All the things for which my heart yearns
    Gives joy in diminishing returns
    He kissed me on the mouth
    His hands they headed south
    And my cheek it burned

    Money, man, it is a bitch
    The poor, they spoil it for the rich
    With my face pressed in the clover
    I wondered when this would be over
    And at home we are all so guilty-sad

    Easy money
    Pour it down the open drain
    Pour it all through my veins
    Pour it down, yeah, let it rain
    And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me

    Now, I’m sitting pretty down on the bank
    Life shuffles past at a low interest rate
    In the money-coloured meadows
    And all the interesting shadows
    They leap up, then dissipate

    Easy money
    Easy money
    Easy money
    Rain it down on the wife and the kids
    Rain it down on the house where we live
    Rain it down until you got nothing left to give
    And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me

    Casey Anthony’s jury made the right decision. Casey is innocent, and she should soon walk pretty, proud, and free. Let’s pray that she can rebuild her life, and find love & happiness in her future.

    Fact: Look at what could of been found out by waterboarding. Why have long court trial that got no results. Take notice jackasses.

    Yea, heck, they could have gotten Casey to admit to helping with 911.

    I think the most important question is, since she manipulated the system AGAIN, will she go out of her way to find the imaginary killer to bring justice for her daughter?

    Actually, she didn’t manipulate the system. She didn’t testify, and her own lawyer told the jury that she is a liar. The system did what it did without her input.

    There’s no law against that. They’re now trying to pass one.

  • Steve_27

    It is no doubt a terrible situation to be in as a juror. I would seriously hate such a case. It looks like a no win situation with either scenario haunting you forever. It seem’s quite clear she killed her daughter but the case just wasn’t there as per our laws. There is probably nothing worse then being jailed, never mind put to death, then find out after that said person was innocent. At the same time, if she were found guilty, the overwhelming majority of people would have been happy and not surprised at all. Just explains what ahrd case this was.

    The truth is this case just happened to become a national case, but this stuff happens alot. It’s just the way it is.

    “Poor little Caylee…” What’s so poor about being dead? Are we now experts on the passage from here to there. Is she being tormented by a thousand demons? In one breath many say they “know” she is in heaven dancing with the angels, and in the next it’s “Poor little Caylee.” She’s dead. Period. Until our own demise (and it’s a sure thing), get on with your lives. Because, it’s no secret her death was just a chance for scores of you to add some pizazz to your dull and pathetic lives. You bit the hook the media put in your ponds of boredom, and now the game is over. Much like gawking at a highway tradgedy for ten seconds, and poof you are back to square nothing. Then it’s on to the next charade. You want a genuine cause to focus on? Go after these media parasites who govern your lives with falsehoods, commercial genocide, asinine programming and tailor made poison designed to deter you from more promising quests. You are being methodically corroded.

    Are you nuts?

  • LAPhil

    This was a miscarriage of justice if there ever was one. All the jurors had to do was connect the dots and they would have found her guilty, but that would have taken too much time, and they probably all wanted to go home too badly. Not that I can blame them for the latter. I wonder how they’re going to feel when Casey has her next kid and he/she suddenly goes missing. She is planning to get pregnant again by her own admission.

    Is being “sick to your stomach” a symptom of being brain dead?

  • X-3

    Yeah, I’m kind of sick about it too but the juror is correct; here we have yet another clear example of how the prosecutors failed in their mission–to PROVE guilt. They did the same thing in the OJ trial, and if one were to be quite honest, there have been thousands of lower profile cases where the prosecutors failed to build a case.

    Of course, the prosecutors aren’t the only culpable parties; mostly, the police couldn’t find their azzes with both hands and a flashlight. Yeah, they can sure as hell fee grab you with a parking or a speeding ticket, but they can’t solve crimes.

    Dumbazzes all around.

    Do you not see the irony in telling other posters to move on with their life and that her death was just a chance for scores of you to add some pizazz to their dull and pathetic lives. Those words and other parts of your lecture can be thrown back at you by the posters you are insulting and judging because after all you did take the time out of your life to read this article and to insult them for what they posted.

    Practice what you lecture.

    Obviously the comments that were made by people that reject the verdict of the Casey Anthony trial were made by people that have never served on a jury and were influenced by the media. The media isn’t interested in guilt or innocence, they are only interested in making money and the facts be damned. Maybe if more people didn’t try to evade jury duty and had some experience as a juror, there wouldn’t be as much criticism or ignorance of the law. The publics opinion does not matter in a court of law, only the facts or lack of determine the verdict. The judge in this case told the jury, you must find the defendent guilty or not guilty, there was no option to find the defendent innocent.

  • Georgia999

    Everyone seems to be missing this: Judge Perry DID say SOME of the jury are willing to talk to the media. Then wow, all of a sudden they decided not to talk….. I guess they were real proud of themselves till they found out they let a killer loose.
