The names of the jurors who determined Casey Anthony 's fate when they found her not guilty of first-degree murder this past summer were revealed this morning.But even with their identities revealed, there may remain one big, lingering question: Why did they reach the verdict that they did?None of the jurors — all Pinellas County residents — is obligated to talk to the media about the six weeks they spent serving on Anthony's trial in Orlando.The jurors are Joan Meier, Raymond Screen, Linda Bills, Harriet White, Brian Berling, Kimberly Kimball, Kathleen Nighland, James Kearns, Ronald Robertson, David Angelo, Mary Fuhr and Jennifer Ford.Alternate jurors whose names were not previously released are Elizabeth Jones and Heather Feuerhake.Alternate jurors Dean Edward Eckstadt and Russell William Huekler already voluntarily revealed their identities publicly.The panel already turned down one opportunity to speak to the media collectively.Sentinel reporters and a photographer have been knocking on doors throughout Pinellas County today, searching for the jurors. Many knocks went unanswered, and some neighbors said their juror neighbors had left town.Although the trial ended in July, the names were not released until today.In Anthony's high-profile case, Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry postponed the release of the juror names for three months as a "cooling off" period.In his July 26 order, Perry expressed significant concern over the safety of the jurors, noting that they "returned a verdict which was not viewed in a popular light by a large segment of the public."Perry recalled how the crowd outside the Orange County Courthouse reacted to the July verdict, holding signs that said, "Arrest the Jury," and "Somewhere a Village is Missing 12 Idiots." He also cited a news report saying one juror had to quit work and leave the state due to threats."Only time will heal those upset by the verdict and will allow public interest to subside sufficiently that violence may be avoided," Perry wrote in postponing the release of juror names until today.Anthony, 25, was found not guilty in July of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie in the summer of 2008.The 12-member jury also found Anthony not guilty of aggravated child abuse and not guilty of aggravated manslaughter of a child. The jury did find her guilty of the far less significant charges of lying to law enforcement.It was a verdict that stunned spectators and angered the public.The jury was given the opportunity to talk to the media about their decision almost immediately after they rendered a verdict, but the panel declined.Perry noted in his order that he met with the jurors after the verdict and most "were adamant about their desire not to contact the media or appear on TV shows even though they could have received handsome payment for their time and effort." ||||| Share this:

 George and Cindy Anthony are reportedly in hiding Wednesday after receiving death threats following their daughter Casey’s stunning acquittal on murder charges for the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. 
 
 Their attorney Mark Lippman said the threats against the couple were on the Internet and that the Orange County Sheriff’s Office was investigating.

 Lippman also said it was too early to know if the Anthonys would welcome their daughter back. (Until her arrest, Casey lived in her parents’ home in Orlando, Florida). After all, Caylee’s defense was built on the premise that George had sexually molested Casey as a child, causing her to disassociate from tragedy and that George had helped cover up the death of Caylee after she allegedly drowned in the family’s swimming pool. 
 
 After the verdict was read in court Tuesday, George and Cindy were the first ones out of the courthouse.

 The couple later released a statement through their attorney. 
 
 “While the family may never know what happened to Caylee Marie Anthony, they now have closure for this chapter in their life,” Lippman said in the release.

 “They will now begin the long process of rebuilding their lives. Despite the baseless defense chosen by Casey Anthony, the family believes that the Jury made a fair decision based on the evidence presented, the testimony presented, the scientific information presented and the rules that were given to them by the Honorable Judge Perry to guide them. 
 
 “The family hopes that they will be given the time by the media to reflect on this verdict and decide the best way to move forward privately.

 “The family also wanted the public to know that if anyone wanted to honor Caylee by leaving stuffed animals or other toys at any area near their home, that they would prefer those items be donated in Caylee’s name to families in need, religious centers, or any other entity where the toys would be appreciated,” Lippman concluded. 
 
 While Casey was acquitted on three of the most serious counts, including first degree murder, she was found guilty on four misdemeanor counts of lying to police officers. For those convictions, she will be sentenced on Thursday. The misdemeanors carry one year terms, but since she’s already been in jail three years, she could likely walk free and not be sentenced to serve any additional time behind bars. 
 
 Jurors in the case refused to talk to reporters after their verdict and their identities are being kept a secret. 
 
 Little Caylee would have turned 6-years-old on August 9.

 Celebs React To Casey Anthony ‘Not Guilty’ Verdict ||||| The seven women and five men who found Casey Anthony not guilty of the murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee declined to discuss the verdict that stunned court watchers. 
 
 Judge Belvin Perry, who presided over the trial, ordered that the jurors' names be barred from being made public until further notice. 
 
 "We are not releasing their names at this time. They are asking you to respect their privacy," Karen Levey, the director of due process services for the Orange County circuit court, told a swarm of reporters waiting to hear from the jurors. "They are just not interested...a universal, unequivocal no." 
 
 Levey said that Orange County sheriff officers would be transporting the 12 jurors back to their hotel, where they have been sequestered for more than six weeks. The five alternate jurors also declined to speak publicly about the case. 
 
 Casey Anthony, who faced the possibility of the death penalty, was found not guilty of murdering Caylee. The jury declined to convict her of either first degree murder or aggravated manslaughter of a child. 
 
 The jurors found Anthony, 25, guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement, which are misdemeanors. It's possible she could be released from prison later this week. 
 
 The jury has been a serious group with some taking notes, others focused with laser-like intensity throughout testimony which has ranged from the dramatic to the tedious. 
 
 Due to the intense media coverage of the crime in the Orlando area over the last three years, the jurors were selected from a pool in nearby Pinellas County in early May, and bused to Orlando for the duration of the trial. They have been sequestered and living out of an Orlando hotel since the trial began more than a month ago on May 20.

 They range from a History Channel buff, to a tech savvy IT employee, to a woman who doesn't own a computer or even cable TV.

 A few admitted before the trial began that they were leaning towards guilty, but said they would keep an open mind. At least three are mothers, and one has two children who are Casey Anthony's age. 
 
 In addition to the dozen jurors who will decide Casey Anthony's fate, there are three men and two women alternatives, but surprisingly none of the juors have dropped out despite the lengthy trial and the sequestered conditions. 
 
 The profile of the jury was compiled from voir dire interviews during jury selection. 
 
 Juror #1 The 65-year-old woman is a retired nurse and volunteer counselor. She is married with two grown children, and her medical background may give her a better understanding of the scientific evidence. In particular, she's familiar with the smell of decomposing bodies. "I value life" she said while discussing the death penalty. "I also value the criminal justice system." Throughout the trial, she has stayed focused on the testimony, rarely scanning around the courtroom. 
 
 Juror #2 A black male in his mid-30s, this juror works in IT, which might make him a good resource when the jury has to discuss computer searches. He is married with two children under 10. He said he was raised by a single mom "like Casey." He knows about the case, but told the court, "If I had to return a verdict right now, I would say not guilty." He admits to some misgivings about the death penalty. "God is the one who makes the final judgment," he said, adding that he could vote for it "if I really believe it needs to be done." 
 
 Juror #3 This 32-year-old nursing student at St. Petersburg College has the least prior knowledge of the case. "I know my ignorance works in my favor at this point," she chirped, admitting she would like to serve on the jury. Now that she's on the jury, she often wears a perturbed look while listening to testimony. A weaver in her spare time, she has no children of her own, but has a pet rat terrier. 
 
 Juror #4 Court watchers were surprised when this potential defense-leaning juror made the panel. She is deeply religious and told the court, "I don't like to judge people" and "I just don't like to point my finger at anyone." She said she "thinks" she can impose the death penalty. A black woman in her 40's, she has no children and lives alone. She wrote occasional notes early on, but her note-taking pace seems to have increased as the trial nears its conclusion. Her face betrays nothing of her reaction to the case so far. 
 
 Juror #5 With her long grey hair, glasses and a generally stern look about her, this 57-year old white woman constantly looks across the room in the direction of Casey Anthony and her lawyers. A retired nurse's aide, she has three children and is the only juror with a criminal record (a 1998 DUI arrest). Her stance on the death penalty is measured: "I guess I believe in the death penalty? I'd have to know a lot of facts before I really considered it." 
 
 Juror #6 The 33-year-old restaurant equipment salesman is married with two children (ages 6 and 21 months). He earned a business degree from the University of Florida and is an avid chef who has twice cooked on television. In voir dire, he said the understood Casey Anthony's defense has no need to prove anything, and wouldn't hold it against her if she didn't testify. He also said he'd have no trouble imposing a death sentence. "If the law dictated it, I would be able to follow it," he said. In court, he looks relaxed and attentive, although he rarely takes a note these days. 
 
 Juror #7 Professing "just some, not a lot" of knowledge of the case, the 41-year-old white female divorcee said she would be able to send Casey Anthony to death if the facts warranted. "It would be, gosh, a solemn decision," she said. She is a victim of crime herself, having suffered a home invasion by a knife-wielding intruder, but was not injured. The intruder was later arrested and pleaded guilty. Her father was an attorney. She sits up straight in her jury seat, facing the witness box ? and never seems to look out at the gallery. 
 
 Juror #8 The daughter of a New Jersey police officer, this 55-year-old Verizon service representative has two sons in their 20s, the same age as Casey Anthony. Neither of her sons has had any legal trouble, but said "sometimes they're not angels. Being a mother, I would want someone to take all the facts" if they ever had to stand trial. Given the right set of facts, "I have no problem voting for the death penalty." Like juror #7, she sits turned toward the witness, but has slouchier posture. 
 
 Juror #9 Perhaps the most attentive juror of them all, this 53-year-old former logger from Indiana watches the proceedings with a fervor befitting a man who watches PBS and the History Channel in his spare time. His nephew is a deputy in Manatee County, but he's not necessarily a pro-prosecution juror. "Our system is that you are innocent until you are proven guilty," he told the court. "I believe in that." He is perky and friendly. He often smiles at the deputies. 
 
 Juror #10 The panel's second Verizon employee, a 57-year-old male retention specialist, has never married and has no children. In court, he's inscrutable, focused on the proceedings, rarely glancing elsewhere. In voir dire, he claimed to enjoy reading, but hadn't kept up with the case. "I don't really know any of the details, and I do believe everyone is innocent until proven guilty," he said. He once trained to be a corrections officer, but never applied for a job in the field. He's had familial legal troubles himself: his sister and her boyfriend committed a violent crime against his father. 
 
 Juror #11 This single 33-year-old high school gym teacher reminds many in the gallery of Johnny Depp and Matt LeBlanc. During compelling testimony, he leans forward to the edge of his seat, knees apart, elbows on knees, with his hands clasped. He was selected for the jury even though he had "formed an opinion of guilt" because he said he could set it aside and "keep my mind open." He characterized the death penalty as "a necessary option." This juror seems to have a voracious curiosity for everything in court ? especially the gallery and balcony, which he often scans during the numerous sidebars. 
 
 Juror #12 "Not a modernized person" is how this 60-something mother of two adult children (and one grandchild) described herself in voir dire. She doesn't own a computer, doesn't have cable TV and is "not that into" newspapers. Unsurprisingly, she had little knowledge of the case before these proceedings, although she did hear about it when news first broke. She works part-time as a cook at Publix supermarket and enjoys legal dramas. Asked for a number to represent her support of the death penalty, she stated, "the highest number, 10." In court, she has a laser focus on the testimony before her.
– The jurors who cleared Casey Anthony of murder now might have to explain the verdict to their neighbors. Florida today released the jurors' identities, reports the Orlando Sentinel. Normally, the names are made public immediately after a trial, but the judge ordered a three-month delay given the public outrage over the verdict. Click for specifics on the panel, which has rejected requests to speak collectively about the decision.
