If there was a 'strong-arm' in the group, I wish one or more of the jurors would come out and say so. Sigh.
Don't know of any of you are following the Bob Ward murder trial in Orlando, but the jury has already been out about 7 hours and asked to see two pieces of evidence. Makes my blood boil all over again when I think about the Pinellas 12 as the Ward jury heard only about 2 weeks of testimony and has already spent 7 hours considering Ward's fate. Guess verdicts like the Anthony farce you just never get over ....
nope, ill never get over it... 6 weeks and they didn't request 1 damn thing, nothing! Caylee deserved so much more...
To the contrary GracieLu!! They did request 1 thing. During the trial, they requested to look at the heart sticker found in the vicinity of Caylee's remains. I am still baffled at that one. Why did Judge Perry buckle under on that one? Obviously, they had to have to discussed it in order to request it.(And they were admonished many, many times not to discuss the case. CM was even concerned about that one. Give me a break. In the middle of the trial, and it was allowed??? WTH!! After that, they seemed to totally disregard that huge honkin' pile of "stuff" in front of the courtroom.
I would have wanted to see and inspect the scene where Caylee's remains were found, the vehicle that allegedly took her there, and the back yard of the Anthony home, not to mention all the things right there in the courtroom.
I feel that there was bullying to some degree in that deliberation room. Hopefully at some point in the future, one of the jurors will have what it takes to speak out about what went on. Like you, GracieLu, I will never get over it.
The same as was going on before Caylee's body was found and afterwards, the whole trial seemed to become about George and Cindy. I tried to listen to most of the thing and never heard much emphasis put on the cell phone records that afternoon. Jesse was never heard from about his long conversation that afternoon with Casey. Then, the judge didn't allow the recent thefts. Casey's lies became Cindy's fault during the trial. The jury seemed like odd types of people who might be stubborn and not want to reason out anything. The types to cave and run away from things. I blame the media sensationalism and circus surrounding the whole case for Casey not even getting a slap on the wrist for Caylee's death. If the jury couldn't be shown premeditation without a doubt then they just weren't going to waste their time with it.
ya know, your post brings up a question i forgot about. right after the trial i said something to my mom about FCA's cell pings showing that after she left with Caylee to go to "work" she eventually returned home (after GA went to work). My mom was surprised by this... i'm going to admit that ive been here since day 31 and watched the trial everyday but i work on my computer so i thought when this was covered at trial i had the volume down (or screen minimized). My mom watched everyday and never heard any of this. was this brought up at trial and if not, why not?
I watched a few bits of the trial yesterday and it definately looked like KC was smiling at one of the jurors. She looked straight ahead and smiled, looked away and then smiled in that direction again. I wouldn't be surprised. A few of them were pro-defense , a few money-minded ones and of course juror #4. They really bring new meaning to the phrase 'lowest common denominator' don't they? All in all, a lovely mix.
nope, ill never get over it... 6 weeks and they didn't request 1 damn thing, nothing! Caylee deserved so much more...
They didn't bring up the cell pings at all at trial. I really don't remember it being a big issue before trial either ... for the prosecution or the defense. JA was asked in one of the interviews he did after trial whether it would have been beneficial to bring them to the jury's attention. He said they were not accurate enough. That will always puzzle me. Even if they are within 1/2 mile radius of a tower it still shows the direction and times of her travels. To me they were very telling. Hope JA addresses that in his book.
Go figure, no requests for evidence while deliberating,,,,,but early into the trial, when they weren't supposed to be discussing the case, they requested evidence..........I'm still baffled why the Judge didn't question that......
re BBM: It makes me wonder if there wasn't an inacurracy that appeared to be exculpatory.....so they all just let it go.....since it really wasn't......
It is really sad that our jurisprudence.....(A JURY OF OUR PEERS) could not find anyone who was concerned about a helpless 2 yr& 9 month old child who isn't allowed to live her God given life. I still am overwhelmed by the non-caring, the cold heartedness of that jury. They just did not care about the enormity of the crime. Me! Me! Me! I just want to go home ! I want to write a book ! Gimme the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::sick::sick::sick:
I feel exactly the same way,they knew letting her go free would cause their stories to skyrocket in price.They just did not realize 99% of us would boycott and refuse to allow them to profit. I hope they all are haunted by what they have done.They made a mockery of the justice system,they could not even bother to review the evidence.:sick:
It's October....when do we find out who these bozos are?
