It was extremely professional of Casey Anthony‘s lawyer to be giving the finger to people, but he claims that who it was directed to was rather deserving of it:
├óΓé¼┼ôThere was one particular stalker that had been stalking our defense team, morning, noon and night, every day of the trial, yelling obscenities and threatening and trying to embarrass and expose [fellow defense attorney Jose] Baez, myself and the others … that little non-human person deserved what he got.
“He├óΓé¼Γäós fortunate he wasn├óΓé¼Γäót in the same room.├óΓé¼Γäó├óΓé¼Γäó
Still, as a lawyer if someone is stalking you, you’d think you’d be in the perfect position to get a restraining order for real instead of an obscene gesture. Just sayin’.
During the same interview, he expressed concern for Casey when she’s released from prison in just a few days:
├óΓé¼┼ôI don├óΓé¼Γäót know [where she’s headed], and if I did, I wouldn├óΓé¼Γäót tell you,├óΓé¼Γäó├óΓé¼Γäó Mason said. ├óΓé¼┼ôYes, we are all concerned about her safety and her future, but one thing at a time.├óΓé¼┬¥
Another person who is afraid for he well-being is Juror #12.
Scared for her safety, Juror #12 (a 60 year old woman):
has reportedly retired from her job at the Publix grocery store and left the Sunshine State altogether, going into hiding out of fear of retribution from those angry with Anthony’s acquittal in the death of her daughter.
The juror├óΓé¼Γäós husband told NBC News she told him, “I’d rather go to jail [than] sit on a jury like this again.”
That’s pretty sad, you guys. Regardless of their decision no harm should be threatened against them. They did what they thought was right, and it’s not like they can reverse what they’ve done, so any kind of threat would be useless.
We hope she doesn’t live in fear for too long!
