Well, I think it's normal that many of us are starting to feel anxious. After all, we have been listening to the trial, while talking about it among each other as the evidence and testimony rolled in, so we had a very formed opinion way before deliberations started. So what's the holdup? The jury, on the other hand, have experienced this trial differently. I'm going to hold on to any "predictions" as to when they'll render the decision, since I've been wrong twice already, lol. But we have to take into account that they were not able to discuss anything about this case to anyone or among themselves. Also, as much as we know how evil IT is, I can definitely see some of them wanting to go over the whole evidence, hundreds of exhibits, etc., because they are holdings someone's fate in their hands. I definitely see this as a reason for no verdict yet. We can just form an opinion. They, on the other hand, will have to live with their decision after the trial is over. And of course, there may be one or two holdouts. The others may be trying to help them see the light. It is not uncommon for jurors to not be unanimous off the bat. I have to say this, I would 100% prefer a hung jury in the alternative of them agreeing to a lesser charge just to compromise.
I know, personally, that I get nervous in part because of the last high profile verdict (you know, the Florida one) and how unbelievable I thought the verdict was. I know this is a completely different case with much, much more evidence. My only comparison is because it shows that we cant really know what the jury is thinking. We just have to keep faith that the right thing will be done.
And I dont pay attention to HNL at all, they are just a sensationalist cable channel.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
