Local coverage of Casey Anthony verdict, Part 1

We have made on your -- team coverage of the verdict that shocked a lot of people Casey Anthony is found not guilty of killing her daughter Caylee. Peter Bernard is live in Pinellas County tonight where a local jurors began their journey we also have -- in turning an attorney rather in studio for expert analysis of today's verdicts. And generally is live in Orlando will start -- you Peter.

this is where it all started as you mentioned but this is apparently not where it's going to be ending orange county sheriff's deputies are escorting a small number of those jurors back to their homes here in Pinellas County we're being told that the majority are staying in Orlando win their families at least for the time being if you're watching any of this coverage -- you know not one single regular juror has agreed to speak to the media and here's a look at the dramatic afternoon as that verdict came down.

So the charge of first degree murder. Verdict as to count one. We the jury find the defendant not guilty was a verdict that echoed around the country that Casey Anthony free of first degree murder charges as serious charge of aggravated child abuse verdict as to count to. We the jury find the defendant not guilty and free of child abuse charges as to the charge of aggravated manslaughter of a child's. Verdict -- to count three. We the jury find the defendant not guilty. So say we all updated in Orlando. Orange County Florida this sixth day of July 2011.

And free of manslaughter charges in the death of her two year old daughter Caylee. But what a Pinellas County jury did find Casey Marie Anthony guilty of was lying.

As says the charge of providing false information until law enforcement officer -- as council where. We the jury find the defendant guilty of providing false information to law enforcement officers charged in the indictment.

Sentencing proceedings begin on Thursday on misdemeanor charges of lying to law enforcement again thank you. You baggage charge and -- see -- shortly backing the jury room afterward a relieved Jose Baez spoke to reporters about his hatred of the death penalty and his mission in taking this case in the first place.

While we're happy for Casey. On there are no winners in this case. Caylee has passed on. Far far too soon. And what my name. Driving force has been for the last three years has been always -- Make sure that there has been justice for Caylee.

And back -- nice vote to Bay -- criminal defense attorney John -- he says today's verdict is reminiscent of the OJ Simpson outcome he calls this verdict stunning anywhere is what impression that this verdict will leave on the public and some -- worries. May think that the -- justice system is more like a roulette wheel. Guilty not guilty again no jurors are gonna be returning to this location they'll they're being escorted by orange county sheriff's deputies to their home -- few that are coming back tonight. Most are staying in Orlando case.

All right Peter thank you very much. We'll whole -- people have the exact same thought when they heard today's verdict and that was what brought the jurors to this not guilty decision. And l.s defense attorney Roger uterine joining us now it was the State's job to -- improve without a reasonable doubt. That in fact she kills her daughter. Was there ever enough evidence to prove that from from the beginning. I thought the state have a strong circumstantial case the jury didn't think so I -- strong so concentric especially to maybe second agreement. Second degree and that's what you're expecting that's expected. The -- okay well we're hearing it wasn't back unanimous decision by these jurors go so the jurors pretty much came together and set -- average you know. We can't wait we can't put those girls and because she killed anonymous as we just don't think there's another that there. What was was there anything you think it was just hanging them up. To say we can't come back with a guilty verdict here.

Well Monique and not guilty to have this agreement of -- took all the fire and it was really surprising to me it's impossible to speculate -- just don't know what was said bank paying you don't know what the -- of their business and maybe we'll find out into possible suspect the.

Teasing they're that it was them the whole idea of what was her motive. With that proven enough and what we heard throughout the strike could speculate how. And it could be home multitude of reasons we've just gotten RI okay seemingly a lot of anger now and appears. At least outside the courtroom -- these jurors so far none of the the ones except for one of the office and it -- chosen to speak at all about this. Do you anticipate that they will remain silent on that kind of say. You know this is why we came to this that this is why and how we can do this this.

Thank you all maybe not collectively the individually when people may be mixing personal attacks on some of the decision making process I think people are gonna come on dependence on explain why they came to that rationale. But again you were surprised with with us I was surprised especially as quickly as it was resolved I personally was surprised but the all that she never -- is gonna do approved food and.

No you absolutely don't we don't go away we're gonna talk to war at 6 o'clock and really talk about the the the job that you guys have as a defense attorneys connecting with the jurors so we'll talk a bit more about that Roger chairman here with us. Right now thanks if.
