Jerry Springer Show Shoots Down Rumor of Casey Anthony Interview

Now that she's been acquitted of murder, Casey Anthony will be released from prison next week. 

Earlier today, word began to spread that the folks over at "The Jerry Springer Show" were planning to extend $1 million to the 25-year-old should she come on for an interview.

The terms reportedly stipulated that Casey's parents Cindy and George and her brother Lee accompany her for the gig.

An insider leaked, "The offer was made to Casey's defense team Friday. They are interested. The show would get huge ratings. The family will be presented with the offer shortly."

In wake of such talk, Jerry Springer has released an official statement denying any negotiations with the woman formerly accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter. 

“There is absolutely no truth to this story whatsoever. ‘The Jerry Springer Show’  has not made any monetary offer to Casey Anthony and her family to appear on the program, nor will we.”

The public outcry over Anthony's acquittal has been widespread, and now one juror has come forward to share his struggle with coming to a verdict.

The unidentified man told press, "I just swear to God, I wish we had more evidence to put her away. I truly do -- but it wasn't there."

He also was clear about the fact that they committed to only go off of the concrete evidence, something that became increasingly hard as the trial went on.

"Everybody agreed if we were going fully on feelings and emotions, she was done. We just wanted to go on the evidence that was presented to us."

Yesterday (July 7) a jubilant looking Casey Anthony was sentenced to four years in prison for her conviction of lying to investigators.

However, it was previously announced by a court official that the 25-year-old former murder suspect will be released from jail on July 13th because she's already served three years behind bars, during which time she exhibited good behavior.

Miss Anthony lied to detectives about placing her late daughter Caylee in the care of a nanny named Zanny, as it was discovered that no such nanny exists.

She also lied about leaving Caylee with friends and about receiving a phone call from her, all of which resulted in Casey's four lying charges.

While the jury found Casey not guilty of murder, abuse, and manslaughter, juror Jennifer Ford said it was nearly impossible to deal with the thought of letting Miss Anthony walk free.

While lawyers argued that the multiple counts were double jeopardy - the judge dismissed the notion and ordered that all four misdemeanor convictions be served consecutively.

Along with the jail sentence, Miss Anthony was slapped with a $1,000 fine.
