PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - The names of the jurors in the Casey Anthony trial were made public for the first time Tuesday since they acquitted the mother on charges of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee.

The names had been sealed under a "cooling off" period that Judge Belvin Perry issued because he said the jurors had been threatened since the verdict in July and he wanted some time to pass before their names became public.
FOX 35 is not releasing the names at this time but we did send a news crew far and wide, trying to track down the jurors for comment. We knocked on door after door, 15 in all, but we were not able to make contact with any of the 12 jurors. At some houses, you could hear noise from inside the home. Others were likely at work.
At one residence, a neighbor told us that particular juror left right after returning home from the trial, and has not been back. That same neighbor told us that she felt the jury made the right decision based on what was presented in court.
The jurors were selected from Pinellas County, because of concerns about pretrial publicity in Orlando, where the two-month trial was held. The jurors were sequestered until the verdict was announced.
Anthony was acquitted of killing Caylee and released from jail a couple of weeks after the trial ended. She is now serving probation on an unrelated check fraud charge at an undisclosed location in Florida.
She was deposed earlier in October for a civil lawsuit that accuses her of ruining another woman's reputation. Anthony told detectives in 2008 that her daughter had been kidnapped by a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez. The child's body was later found in a wooded area not from the Anthony's home in Orlando.
Detectives have said no such baby sitter existed. But there is an Orlando woman named Zenaida Gonzalez, and she sued Anthony over the name confusion.
Anthony currently is serving a year's probation at an undisclosed location in Florida for an unrelated check fraud case.
