I don't think the jurors believed the defense scenario. Have they said they believed it? I'm hearing that they don't know what happened to Caylee.

Where is the evidence of Caylee not having a social security number? She was born in the hospital and had a doctor so it's not as if they were hiding her away in a closet.
That video looked completely normal to me. I'm a mother of three young kids, my daughter just turned three and I saw nothing unusual about it. Nothing. I also have many many friends with young kids who I see daily...not all two year olds are bouncing off the walls.
Well, one of them believed there was no body in the car. How can anyone come to that conclusion? Its reasonable to assume that all the people who smelled it lied? That its a coincidence that Casey abandoned her car 10 minutes after texting Amy that her car smelled like a dead animal? That a cadaver dog also coincidentally smelled death? How can you possible explain all that?
I just read this article and was just about to post it here, when I saw that you had. It's interesting, isn't it, what it says about sequestering making people begin to think alike, and strive for harmony? And this was a 6 week trial, so this was amplified.And why the jury may have come to the verdict they did. If the thoughts in this commentary are true about the effects of sequestration on juries, then something needs to change in how juries are kept from outside influences so they do not get into a group think mode. Maybe jurors should not be allowed to stay together as a group for long trials. Maybe their families should be sequestered along with them.
I have no good suggestion but the system as it is did not work in this case as shown in the statements of Juror #3.
Casey Jury Brainwash
The Daily Beast, Friday, July 8, 2011, 5:33am (PDT)
The inevitable juror cameos have begun. Juror Number Three, now known as Jennifer Ford, spoke to Nightline. She came forward to give her explanation for the shocking acquittal that freed Casey Anthony of any criminal liability for the killing of her baby, Caylee Anthony.
No doubt she meant to justify the verdict. On that score, she failed. But she succeeded in showing us a great deal about the dynamics and thinking of this jurysignificantly, this sequestered jury.

Unfortunatelyand psychological studies bear this outa group that is kept together for any length of time becomes more and more alike, more in sync, as time goes on. (By the way, this phenomenon is also in play with regard to proximity to the defendant. The longer the jury is in contact with the defendant, the less sinister he or she appears. In this way, familiarity with Casey Anthony turned her from a potential murderer to an abused, perhaps disturbed, but certainly nonthreatening, child.) Add this phenomenon to the natural desire to avoid contentiousness and seek harmony and you can see how individuality begins to erode in a sequestered jury.

That's all circumstantial as well. I don't think they looked at any circumstantial evidence. They were looking for "proof"... and I guess they couldn't find it in the circumstantial evidence. I did though.
If you read the above posted article, I think it lays out very well how the jury was convinced of Baez' theory. The author believes it was pre-mediated murder.Release the Juror information now. Nothing will happen to them. We just have a few questions.

I guess they were looking for a video of ICA killing Caylee, since the only charges that they convicted her on were the ones that had video proof. What planet are these people from? I can't shake the feeling that there is something very hinky with this jury. I am not sure if it was just lack of common sense, laziness, willful ignorance of the process, or something more sinister. But I am convinced that something is wrong here. :twocents:
snipped for space...
seriously, i expected a hung jury

Do you think they saw this? (trunk liner stain) Doesn't get much clearer than that to me she was in that trunk....dead.

I just listened to Juror #3's interview again.
If this woman had been on the Scott Peterson Jury,she would have needed the cause of death in order to vote guilty. If left up to her, he would be living a fancy free lifestyle right now.
I remember in his closing arguments, State prosecutor Rick Distaso told the Jury...I don't have to prove to you how he did it...I don't have to prove to you why he did it. All I have to do is prove to you is,he did it.
Had Jeff Ashton included the above in his closing argument, would it have made a difference?
