Instead of print_r($posts_form3); use:

echo json_encode($posts_form3);

from the get_data_form3(){ function and receive it in ajax like:

success:function(data12)
{
    var data = JSON.parse(data12);
}

You can access all the element in data like:

data[0].column or data[0][column]

You need to pass data in JSON format for get data in ajax. Please replace you code with below code.

$("#header3").on("click", ".edit_button", function(e) {
        var site_path = $('#sitePath').val();
        e.preventDefault();
        var clickedID = this.id.split('_'); //Split ID string
        var DbNumberID = clickedID[1]; //and get number from array
        var myData = DbNumberID; //build a post data structure
        //getting data for the form from accuse table
        $.ajax({
            url:site_path +'/queries/get_data_form3',
            method:'POST',
            data:{myData:myData},

            success:function(data12)
            {
             var getData = JSON.parse(data12);
             console.log(getData);
            }
            ,
            error:function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){
                //On error, we alert user
                alert(thrownError);
            }
        })
    });

And below php code.

public function get_data_form3(){
        $insert_id =  $this->input->post('myData');
        $this->load->model('queries1');
         if( $posts_form3=  $this-> queries1 ->getPostsFor_form3i($insert_id) ) {
               echo json_encode($posts_form3);
         }else{
             echo "failed";
         }
    }

Return the data like this on server side instead of print_r($posts_form3);

 echo json_encode($posts_form3);

Access the data in client side like this 

 success:function(data12)
        {
         var datas = JSON.parse(data12);

          console.log(datas[0]['name']);
        }

Access the data like this 

  datas[0]['name']; datas[0]['address']; datas[0]['sex'];
