Juror #12 Goes Into Hiding


Juror #12 from the Casey Anthony trial has gone into hiding. The woman quit her job and has fled her home to escape the constant harassment from her friends and neighbors and the frequent death threats she has received. The woman was so scared of her co-workers that she just called into the place where she worked and quit over the phone. This is kind of getting crazy. When people fear for their lives and have to quit their jobs after serving on a jury, there is something wrong. As much as I think Casey Anthony is guilty, these 12 people voted unanimously to acquit. The woman who is in hiding said she would gladly vote for the death penalty. When 12 people can agree on something like this that quickly, you know the prosecution did not do their job. What they should be doing now is asking sure the people on the jury are safe so that people will continue to want to serve on juries and make decisions which may be not what public opinion wants, but are not based on fear of getting hurt or killed if they do something that goes against the prosecution.
