Why is the jury in the Casey Anthony case able to capitalize on their service as a juror in the case?

Why is the jury in the Casey Anthony case able to capitalize on their service as a juror in the case? I have seen multiple news reports stating that some jurors have hired publicists to tell the media they will not sit down for an interview without financial compensation and that one juror sat down for an interview in exchange for a trip for her entire family (extended family included) to Disneyworld. I believe something similar happened with those who sat on the Scott Peterson jury and the OJ Simpson jury. Why haven't the courts passed laws stating a juror cannot capitalize financially while performing a civic duty such as sitting on a jury? I mean, getting compensation, whether in $$ or in tickets to somewhere, can really make you question why an individual is in fact serving on a jury and if that person is there only to make a quick $.

I am hearing talk about JURY NULLIFICATION.

Based on the interviews that some jurors are giving to the media.

Whatever it Takes.


I found this - help to repost it everywhere:
Dear Mommy, I see you smile down there below......are those tears of Joy you show?...... I am glad you are happy, although you lied....I'd love to be right by your side....but by your choice, I view from above.....Tell my Grandparents I send my love...........it's Beautiful here, is all I can say.......your life will go on............without me in your way. Love Caylee XOXO

Whatever it Takes.

Casey Anthony will get a mega bucks deal too

I don't wish to be argumentative ,but I disagree with the Islamic belief that I should be killed! " If radical atheists decided they needed to kill believers to ensure their place in nothingness, I'd be criticizing that too."

I don't care if the jurors get anything for serving on the jury.  I would rather not see Casey or her family (especially her brother or dad) get any money for anything.  I still think one of those 2 had something to do with the whole thing.

I think the verdict would be the same. There was simply no solid, physical evidence. Everything was circumstantial and attacks on her character. Which, admittedly, even though I do think she was innocent, is pretty lowdown and certainly wouldn't put her in the running for mother of the year. I ...
