Juror Recap #1119: Male- 43 year old.
Pretrial Publicity: *Remembers hearing about the case when it first hit the news. *Not much of an in-depth follower but has read the headlines of the paper. *Doesn't know much more than "the basics" of the case. *Doesn't know any names of anyone other than Casey's. *Knows there was a vehicle involved and that the body was stored in the vehicle. *Doesn't watch Nancy Grace, Geraldo Rivera, 48 Hours, etc. *Hasn't heard much about the case since 2008. *Most of the opinions he's heard from people on the case has been "opinions of guilt". *Has formed his own opinions about this case- he believes she is guilty but believes everyone is innocent until proven guilty. *Doesn't watch a whole lot of TV- when he does he likes Discovery Channel and National Geographic.
Death Penalty Stance: Indifferent. *Says "I can't say I'm against it, I can't say I'm for it." *Believes he could vote for either the DP or life w/o parole but it depends on circumstances. *Would not consider age as a mitigating circumstance. *Would consider family background/history, history of abuse, etc. as a mitigating circumstance because he believes "our past makes us who we are."

Moved to Florida at age 5. *No background in computer work and no experience/background with police dogs. *Never been involved in any litigations. *Does NOT want to be on the jury because of isolation, time away from his family, and the tremendous amount of responsibility but is willing to accept it if chosen.
