Clearwater , Florida ( CNN ) -- A Florida judge dismissed a batch of potential jurors in the Casey Anthony murder trial Tuesday because several members had discussed the case in the jury room . The ruling from Orange County Superior Court Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr. came in the second day of jury selection in the trial of Anthony , 25 , who is charged with capital murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter , Caylee . Perry asked the individuals whether another potential juror talked or asked about the case , and whether it went beyond just a reference to the case . At least a dozen raised their hand when asked if someone had spoken to them about Casey Anthony . `` Through no fault of your own I think it 's best I let you go and return back to the central jury room , '' said Perry , who asked for more jury candidates Wednesday . The judge and lawyers are questioning potential jurors in groups of 50 . They need 12 jurors and eight alternates . Perry tied the jury panel problem to a person , listed as a witness in the case , who had also been summoned for jury duty . That individual spoke with others in the jury room , the judge said . Concerns over Anthony receiving a fair trial led to the jury selection proceedings being moved to the Clearwater , Florida , courthouse , about 100 miles southwest of Orlando . Caylee 's grandmother first reported her missing in Orlando in 2008 , weeks after the girl was last seen , and five months before her body was found . Authorities moved the proceedings to Clearwater hoping to draw from a jury pool that was less likely to have seen and been influenced by the intense media coverage surrounding the case . Once jury selection is complete , the jurors will be transported to Orlando 's Orange County for the trial , which is now scheduled to start May 17 . Perry and lawyers have been asking jurors about possible hardships in hearing the capital case . `` Our system of justice depends on people like you willing to serve , '' the judge said Monday . `` You are being asked to perform one of the highest duties of citizenship . '' Many excused jurors cited financial hardship -- saying they or their family would suffer if they could n't work for two months . Others said they had to take care of loved ones . On a lighter note , a woman claimed hardship Tuesday due to her concern about a teen son who lives at home and worries about another son , 29 , possibly throwing parties while she is on duty . Jurors also will be asked , one by one , for their take on the death penalty , which Casey Anthony would be eligible for if convicted on the murder charge . Lastly , the jurors will be quizzed on their knowledge of the case and other positions -- including if they have an opinion , prior to the trial , on Anthony 's guilt or innocence . Throughout the selection process , Perry can weigh arguments from members of Anthony 's legal team and state prosecutors and decide to exclude certain men and women from the jury pool . Casey Anthony also faces six other charges , including aggravated child abuse , aggravated manslaughter of a child and misleading law enforcement .
