A courageous jury.

Mediaite:

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.”

1. “I did not say she was innocent,”

2. It seems that the jury was made up of the only people in this sordid mess

that took their jobs seriously and cared about the nature of our rights and the integrity of our judicial system.

Twelve. Ordinary. People.

I'll take them over a thousand media experts any day of the week.

4. Most juries are that way. The justice system does due diligence to make sure of that.

3. Too many people are clueless about the

difference between "Not Guilty" and "Innocent." People on the warpath against the jurors - including tv talking heads who ought to know better - unfortunately don't seem overly interested in the distinction.
