I think his number one goal was to get everyone down to murder 2. But the evidence of premediation was too clear, even he knew it., and he was losing people. So I think he decided it was better to hang things up in the penalty phase, where he thought the automatic decision would be life if they...
No just that it can't be verified that she heard what she says she heard. It's hearsay. The judge can't do anything unless she sees/hears it herself or the assistant admits to it, which she didn't.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the issue that the jury might have heard that? A judicial assistant should know better, I'd think. She can have her opinions but maybe keep them to herself.
Same. As things were winding down I was torn between what I thought would be the better outcome. Death would have signaled to her that she was not believed and did not get away with her lies. But the death penalty does give her more to work with and LWOP would cause her to become forgotten...
You're right I see what you're saying and I wondered that too. We've heard what she found mitigating haven't heard how she explained those mirigators related to the crime and the cruelty. I haven't heard any of the jurors say she actually weight the mitigators just that she'd explain which ones...
Yes without watching the video I think those are the letters they are talking about. I remember around jury selection they were still trying to get those pedo letters in. Interesting we never saw them. The judge must have ruled at some Point they were too suspect.
The age thing is what gets me. How is that a mitigator? She was a grown *advertiser censored* woman. If she was a teenager or the age of those slender man girls, of course I can see that. But she was almost 28 years old and is clearly of sound mind. That's when the frustration began I think and the foreman said...
The foreman used an interesting word in his presser when referring to this juror not deliberating. Pride. He said in the end it seemed to become more about pride than a genuine belief for her. That tells me she'd state a belief then when questioned to explain herself further she'd feel...
He definitely did. Everyone already knew who witness #1 was before his affidavit was even read due to him being from New Zealand. Nurmi knows this and knew he could use it after the affidavid was read. JM just helped it along by accidentally blurting his name out.
In the Marc McGee hearing did JM mention MM had been online for a while and had been harassing people himself including making veiled threats towards JM?
Yes a man who experienced DV was also on the jury. It is not an automatic disqualifier in the least.
Jodi decides to give ill advised interviews and that is Juan's fault. The media becomes enamored with the trial, that too is Juan's fault. The defense takes too long getting evidence to Juan...
