2011.05.12 Jury Selection Day FOUR (Morning Session)

[Tipstaff]

I never thought I would be so happy to experience the silence of sidebar.
If it wasn't 10AM, I would go mix myself a cocktail.

Well you could have something with orange juice.:floorlaugh:

 

[Hopeful One]

Good morning, all. What's the hold up this morning? TIA

 

[Blue Jackets fan]

I'm pretty sure he can go home and he has to report back at __(whatever time) Tuesday morning.

It will be monday I belive he will have to report if he is selected.

The WESH feed I am using sucks *sigh*

I'm not having a problem with CNN. You may have to install the Flash media they ask for but it only takes 5 seconds. There's about an 8 second delay from the WESH or WFTV stations but I'm getting angry with the ads WFTV are putting in every 5 minutes.

Just had to run an errand--away 25 min--come back to four new pages and the SAME potential juror! Holy tedium, Batman!

 

[logicalgirl]

with all due respect she wasnt 9 years old. she was quite adult.

Oh yeah...:great: - I was only meaning it is one of the points the defense can argue on the mitigation list - but it is generally used for defendants who are still juveniles. So I can't see it working and the SA will point out ICA was an adult. So IMO epic fail.

I hope the rest of the jurors waiting in another room for this guy to finish don't have narcolepsy.

Are they waiting in another room? When I was on a jury, voir dire was done in the courtroom with everyone present. The case I was on was not a death penalty case, though, but the prosecution was asking for 99 years if we found the defendant guilty.

 

[LambChop]

Was this mentioned earlier? Does JB now have a smaller chair?

 

[gamom]

are they calling in any order? Part of me thinks they are calling them based on preference. If that is the case, maybe today will take longer and towards the end we will just be looking at alternates???

InSession Perry just warned the attorneys: "you'd better get someone to order you some sandwiches." They may only get 35 min for lunch today

BBM - LOL

thats 35 more minutes than I would give them

is working great as usual!

 

[joypath]

OH EM GEE!! They're going to use her age as a mitigating circumstance??

:twocents: IMVHO, I :innocent: believe that the AGE of the defendant/felon/inmate is an AGGRAVATING circumstance, heck certain societies consider 7 (age of the traditional First Communion!) as an "age of reason" where one recognizes the difference between "right and wrong". By the time Caylee was murdered, ICA was WELL OVER the age of innocence, heck she was and still is a LEGAL ADULT!:great:



Oh yeah, the :maddening: age of the VICTIM is definitely AGGRAVATING me against mitigation for the accused!

 

[KaylynnCouture]

It will be monday I belive he will have to report if he is selected.

Oh yeah, you're right. Monday, sorry.

 

[logicalgirl]

Oh yeah, the guy that really did narcolepsy..didn't they put him through to the 2nd round? Yeah..he won't make it through this, IMO.

Well at least he hasn't gotten bored while waiting because he's been asleep!:woohoo:

 

[watchinginky]

Looks like KC is writing a book again.

 

[FaerieB]

Maybe I'm in the minority, but the law says you're an adult at 18, no? You can marry, vote, serve your country in the Armed Forces, etc. I understand using age or maturity level in certain circumstances, but would never, EVER buy it in ICA's case. Not when you look at the totality of her life...both real and imaginary.

Have a bloody Mary or a Mimosa....................................

My aunt lives close to Orlando. She's heard about it but knows very little of the details.

My family is in Clearwater and knows little to nothing about this case. I've even been a good girl and not made any contact with them to find out if any got jury summons. (I have been listening for familiar voices, though, lol.)
