Juror Casey Anthony Jennifer Ford said today that she and the other jurors were crying and were "sick to our stomachs" after having voted for Casey Anthony charges that she killed her 2 daughter Caylee.
"I did not say that she was innocent," said Ford, who had already been identified only as juror 3 number. "I said that it was not enough evidence." "If you can prove what was the crime, you cannot determine what should be the penalty".
Jaw of the jury, leaving the guilty verdict not shocked observers of the Court, but it is also a difficult time for the Group of experts, Ford said in an exclusive interview with ABC News. The assessment of the jury, no one was ready to go out and talk to the media in the hours after the verdict.
"Everyone wonders why was us talking to the media immediately," Ford said. "" "". It was because we were sick to our stomach to get this verdict. We were crying and not only women. It was responsible for emotions and we were not ready. "We wanted to do with integrity and do not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial".
Instead of murder, Casey Anthony, 25, was found guilty of four counts of lying to the application of the Act and could be released from prison Thursday.
Ford praised the jurors.
"They chose a large group of people, such high integrity." "And he had high morale", she said. "We're all joked." "We are a large group of cousins".
Casey Anthony Attorney: "everything is down due to the death".
Earlier today, Attorney and another juror agree on why the jury refused to condemn Anthony: they could not prove how little Caylee Anthony is dead.
"All came down to the evidence," said Florida state attorney Jeff Ashton on "opinion". "I think that ultimately it came down to-at least that the alternate said - he got to the cause of death.".
Russell Huekler, one of the five alternate jurors who were present for all the evidence and sequestered with 12 other jurors, said today that he would be delivered the same verdict and that he was shocked by the indignation of the people on the outcome of the trial.
"The prosecution failed to prove their case and there is reasonable doubt." Once more, they do show how Caylee is dead. They do show a motive. I'm sorry to think that way. ... It was total jurors 17. They were really listening to this matter and keep an open mind, Huekler has.
Prosecution has been hampered by the fact that the body of Caylee Anthony was not discovered until six months after that she has disappeared. It was found in a marshy area, forested. His body has been so decomposed that the autopsy could not determine the cause of death and said that she was the victim of a homicide by undetermined means.
"I do not think that it was the lack of DNA" from Casey Anthony to the death of his daughter which undermined the case, Ashton said. "It was the cause of death."
Ashton said that he and his team they put on a good deal.
"We were quite shocked" at the verdict, he said. "We have all produced a survey, a really thorough investigation into three years." This is how it goes. I think that 'wow' nose runs five times. »
One of the most powerful pieces of evidence, he said, was the photo of the decomposed skull of Caylee with pieces of tape where his mouth and nose would have been.
"What I have said all along, if a jury considers this photo and it is not the way to and does not know how she died, while," said Ashton. "I would not have been involved in this case if I didn't think it did.".
Huekler said that he believed dead in the Caylee was just a horrible accident, and that Casey Anthony was a good mother.
"The first number of witnesses was a friend of Casey and whenever they said Casey with Caylee, they saw, it is a romantic relationship, and no one provided evidence to the contrary", said Huekler.
Huekler said the lack of physical evidence that Caylee was murdered submerged indirect evidence of lies lots of Casey Anthony and his hard day in the 31 days when she knew that her daughter was dead, but does say authorities.
"Yes, the behavior was bizarre, but that I have are that the family was very dysfunctional." Because they were so dysfunctional, which was the standard for them. Casey did not just start lying for 31 days after the disappearance of Caylee]. She had been lying for the last two years...I feel that it is the standard for it, "said Huekler.
Huekler also said that it doesn't bother him that Casey Anthony did not testify in his own defence.
Mark Lippman, a lawyer for the parents of Anthony, said "good morning America" today that George and Cindy Anthony were shocked by the verdict, not because they believe Casey Anthony is guilty, but because they believed that the State did a fantastic job presenting their case.
George and Cindy Anthony were not satisfied with their daughter since his trial began, but they hope to achieve with it and one day the truth about what happened to Caylee.
"There was a slim chance that we had hoped to get a few slivers of truth in this test and that would have been by the testimony of Casey…hopefully one day she tell you its story, but who knows what to believe", said Lippman.
