Casey Anthony is not guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Marie.
Prosecutors did not prove Casey Anthony was guilty of capital murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie, a 12-member jury found this afternoon.
FBI Casey Anthony embraced defense attorney Jose Baez when the verdict was read, but the courtroom was silent. The prosecutors in the case, Jeff Ashton and Linda Drane Burdick, looked somber.
As soon as the jury left the courtroom, Casey hugged Baez, and then the rest of her defense team. All of them appeared to be crying.

Her parents, George and Cindy Anthony, walked out of the courtroom while Casey Anthony was being fingerprinted.
The verdict means 25-year-old Anthony was found not guilty of all charges except for four counts of providing false information to law enforcement officer. She will be spared a death sentence, but could still potentially face years behind bars in a Florida prison.
Jurors deliberated for less than 11 hours over two days, pondering the witness testimony and hundreds of pieces evidence they were presented with over the several-week trial. The jury found Anthony not-guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child.
Their decision is arguably the most anticipated verdict in the nation at present. A crowd of hundreds outside of the Orange County Courthouse gathered 30 minutes before the verdict was read.
Court spectators, prosecutors, detectives and others involved in the case, including Casey's parents — George and Cindy Anthony — are filing back into the courtroom right now in anticipation of hearing the verdict.
George and Cindy Anthony are sitting next to each other with their attorney Mark Lippman. George looks concerned, hand to his mouth, looking down.
Lippman said he would not hold a news conference after the verdict is read.
Deputies are warning members of the public to express "absolutely nothing"
Sheriff Jerry Demings is sitting in the courtroom. He is in uniform, sitting this time in the second row of the gallery, on the first floor.
The case's lead investigators -- Orange County detectives Eric Edwards, Yuri Melich and John Allen; as well as FBI agent Nick Savage are seated together in the last row of the balcony.
About 150 people have gathered outside the courthouse to await the verdict. Deputies are stationed around the grounds directing gawkers to keep walkways clear. Two women discussed the case with each other loudly before chanting "guilty! Guilty!"
Media from all over the state and nation are swarming the courthouse complex.
Onlookers are everywhere.
"She should do life in prison, but not injection," said Kerry Fischer, 58, a lifelong Orlando resident who was standing in the courtyard in front of the courthouse. He had been following the case on television on and off for the better part of a year.
If convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie, Anthony could be sent to Florida's death row.
