(Reuters) - A juror in the Casey Anthony case said on Wednesday that jurors cried and felt sick after deciding to acquit the young Florida mother of murder, a verdict that dropped jaws across the country.

"I did not say she was innocent," juror Jennifer Ford told ABC News. "I just said there was not enough evidence."

"If you cannot prove what the crime was, you cannot determine what the punishment should be," the 32-year-old nursing student said.

All 12 jurors who found Casey, 25, not guilty of first-degree murder and other felony charges stemming from the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee declined to comment to the media immediately after the verdict. Ford said they were emotional and not ready to speak.

"It was because we were sick to our stomach to get that verdict," she said of the jurors who had been sequestered in a hotel for the duration of the trial because of the intense media coverage. "We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial."
