I've been called to jury duty twice but both times, the charges were dismissed and no trial so I might be taking these comments out of context.
Whatever, it looks like the jury selection was not a wise one. I would think the long incarcerated time for the jurors played a role also in their decisions.

Juror 2 — The IT Worker: Black male, mid-thirties, married, two children: a daughter, 4 and son, 9. Like defendant, Casey Anthony,
juror’s mother was a single mom. “My impression was that, ‘yes, I thought she did it.’ ... If I had to return a verdict, I would say
‘not guilty’ right now.” Death penalty stance: Does not believe in the death penalty. “God is the one that makes the final judgment.”

Juror 4 — The Church Lady: Black female, 40s, no children, lives alone. Unknown occupation. Plays “Farmville” on Facebook. “Most of the time,
I play my computer games” she notes.
Quiet, unassuming, does not like to judge people by what other people say about them.

Alternate Juror 3 — The Widow: White female, age 37, has a 12-year-old son. Was married to a man jailed on drug charges; husband died during incarceration.
She works as a car dealership cashier, lives with her parents, and says serving on a jury would present an “emotional hardship.”

Alternate Juror 4 — The Carpenter: White male, 25, single. The former daycare teacher now works as a carpenter and lives with his parents.
He has a juvenile conviction for drug and paraphernalia possession, for which he served probation.

Alternate Juror 5 — The Water Reclamation Plant Operator: White, 39, married, no children. Former Coast Guard mechanic/military policeman.
Has some knowledge of the case, which was “not big news in my circle.” Prior to receiving a jury duty summons,
planned on taking grandmother to a ball game. He plays computer games. Described a YouTube parody about Casey Anthony by syndicated radio personality,
“Bubba the Love Sponge.”
Recalls odor in Anthony’s car trunk that was attributed initially to pizza. Says, “I don’t like to judge people on what other people say.”

They had to pick jurors who were not aware of Casey Anthony and the death of her child...which means they didn't keep up on much and weren't very well informed and ....mostly dumb buts.

Ooops sorry.
