A JUROR on the Casey Anthony murder trial says she and the 11 others "cried and were sick to our stomachs" after acquitting the notorious Party Mom in the slaying of her daughter Caylee in 2008.The stunning verdict has left America reeling in the biggest courtroom shock since O.J. Simpson skated on murdering his wife and her young boyfriend.
Jennifer Ford, juror number 3, told ABC News: "I did not say she was innocent. I just said there was not enough evidence. If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be."
The shocking not guilty verdict stunned court watchers and no one from the jury was willing to speak to the media after the verdict.
Ford added: "Everyone wonders why we didn't speak to the media right away. 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."
Anthony, 25, was instead found guilty of four counts of lying to law enforcement. Of course, there were too many fibs to sift through for the jury, apparently. She could be sprung from jail as early as today. The case will likely be analyzed for years to come. Did the prosecution blow it? Was the CSI factor in effect in the jury room?
