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.
