Lawyers, jurors, and Casey Anthony herself all cash-in on their involvement in the murder trial
Plenty of people involved in the Casey Anthony trial stand to make big bucks from their involvement.
Jurors and attorneys are already cashing-in with exclusive TV interviews.
As of Wednesday night, two jurors already made national television appearances. Wednesday evening, Barbara Walters landed an exclusive interview with defense attorney Jose Baez. Still, a third juror sent letters to national media asking for an interview -- if the price is right.
ABC News scored an exclusive with
Juror #3, Jennifer Ford, on Wednesday. One of Ford's relatives told 10News
ABC compensated her for the exclusive.
Also Wednesday,
TMZ released a letter from Juror #6, Brian Berling, saying that he's willing to be interviewed
"so long as the opportunities are paid."
ABC also billed a one-on-one with Barbara Walters and Jose Baez as "exclusive" during World News Tonight, but attorney Fitzgibbons says those who want to cash-in should act fast. "

Raleigh publicist reps Casey Anthony juror
Raleigh, N.C.
A Raleigh publicist is helping one of the jurors from the Casey Anthony trial navigate interview requests from national media outlets.
People now dislike the jury because they didnt give the public the verdict they want, Rick French, chief executive of French, West and Vaughn public relations, told WRAL News on Thursday.
French said his phone rings constantly with networks willing to offer cash for an interview with his client.
One national publication claims $50,000 was offered to a juror. French said that information didn't come from him, and the offer was actually higher.
French said the juror contacted his company for help handling those offers and to help him decide whether or not to talk to the media.
French said his client has decided for now not to speak to the media.

Casey Anthony Juror: 'We Are Upset That People Think We're Incompetent'
Dean Eckstadt, 25, was one of five alternate jurors who witnessed the testimony during the 33-day trial but did not participate in deliberations.
Eckstadt appeared on
NBC's Today show on Thursday morning.
Eckstadt also said he does not think his fellow jurors from Pinellas County fear for their safety because of the verdict they reached.
He says that the jurors he has talked to are worried about something else entirely. "We are upset that people think we're incompetent," he said on the Today show.
"We made the decision on the law.
You can't have emotion in the situation, and I think that came down to the final decision."

Juror No. 3 Talks To WFTV About Casey Verdict
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- WFTV sat down for a one-on-one interview with
juror number 3, Jennifer Ford, to talk about Casey Anthony's not guilty verdict.
Ford, a 32-year-old nursing student, claims to have known nothing about the case before she was seated on the jury. She said a not guilty verdict doesnt mean she thinks Casey is innocent.
We all determined, it just wasn't enough to say definitively that a crime was committed and that's what we needed to know. We needed to know how she died, said Ford.
Ford told WFTV that she made her decision before the deliberations and is still sticking to it.
