'We didn't have evidence to convict,' says Jennifer Ford

(NEWSER) - If the Casey Anthony verdict made you ill, it was even worse for the jurors who made the decision, claims one of them.

Roy Kronk's testimony contradict's defense's implications

(NEWSER) - Casey Anthony's defense team did indeed ask for a mistrial yesterday , citing a court ruling finding Florida's death penalty statute unconstitutional.

• Roy Kronk: The meter reader who discovered Caylee's remains testified that he informed authorities he saw something that looked like a skull in the woods, but that he never got closer than 30 feet to it. His testimony is significant because the defense team has insinuated Kronk may have tampered with the placement of Caylee's remains to snag a reward, notes AP .
