Perry issued the order Tuesday saying he will release the jurors' names on or after Oct. 25, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.
Various media entities had requested that the names be released, but Perry was hesitant to do so due to the high-profile nature of the case, saying, "the jury returned a verdict which was not viewed in popular light by a large segment of the public," reports the station.
On July 5, the jury, selected outside of Orange County due to intense media saturation in the area, found Anthony not guilty of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony. She was also acquitted of aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter.
A large crowd gathered outside the Orange County Courthouse immediately after the verdict, outraged at the jurors' decision. Some carried signs that said "Arrest the Jury!" and "Juror 1-12 Guilty of Murder!!!"
The jury found the 25-year-old guilty of 4 misdemeanor charges of lying to law enforcement. Anthony was sentenced one year per count. She had been in the Orange County Jail since October 2008, and after being given credit for time served and good behavior, she was released on July 17. Her whereabouts are not publicly known.
Three members of the jury have already come forward and identified themselves.
