this is the strangest schedule I have ever seen. They are on part time and Fridays off. WHAT!!! They should be working and getting to the verdict they need to get to.

After 6+ full days most thought the Hernandez jury was probably deadlocked but from their interviews they seemed quite in step with one another throughout the deliberations. Our jury has only had one half day and one full day, I think it's much too soon to think hung (even if originally I didn't think it would take them more than an afternoon to agree on the verdict).

Hi geevee. I agree. With no body they will be extra cautious to do the right thing such as going over every inch of evidence. I haven't followed as close as I should have but I know I want her mother to pay for what she did to this beautiful happy child. They have to make sure. Jury hasn't been out long at all. How many hours? Maybe nine or so
with AZ. forever breaks and hours for lunch? Fridays off? their system needs to change.IMO.
 
Well I'm going with a Guilty verdict whenever it comes.

excuse my lack of legal knowledge but hypothetically if there was a hung jury what happens next?? no charges? retrial? the possibility that she could get her children back? even the one that was born while she was jailed??

If it is a hung jury there is a retrial. Sometimes, based on how close it was or what the jurors state, the prosecution may alter the charges though or offer a deal.
 
You can never tell what a jury is thinking. I guess I'm feeling that if they believe the daughter, then she's guilty of type 1 child abuse and also murder. If not...ugh. and she's young enough to have another child.

I hear ya. Justice for Jhessye is a must but the remaining Children need a chance in life. It has to be a Guilty charge. If the remaining Children remained in Foster the fact that Jerice was not punished and their fear of her would be so damaging. IMO

The cousin that raised JS reported abuse and nothing was done about it. The difference with the ex girlfriend was that she had actually witnessed it. So maybe the authorities could have done more.

Hung jury or acquittal on Monday? Sigh.

Yes the cousins are blameless although I'm sure that doesn't help their grief. I hurt for them. They are kind,generous and loving people.
 
Hang in there, sleuthers. I am happy they are taking their time.

It makes me nervous. I guess I see what I see and am not under any juror admonitions. Still....it is SOOOO dadgum obvious!
 
It does remind me a little of the Hernandez case. Best for the jury to take their time and be quite sure-that would minimize the appeals process I hope.
 
I am trying to remain hopeful as well, especially after the AH verdict. Those jurors took their time, and it was worth the wait when all was said and done.

The wait is truly agonizing. I want nothing more than to hear a verdict of guilty on all counts. I will continue to keep Jhessye's candle lit here, with positive thoughts for her.

Thank you all for your continued dedication to her and her threads. You are the best.

Although I've been very anxious for a verdict, I keep thinking the same thing. The defense can't claim that the jurors had already decided Jerice was guilty before starting deliberations. They are obviously taking their time, going over notes and discussing all of the testimony. The jurors had excellent questions during the trial, which shows they were very attentive to everything that was said.

Let's all take some deep breaths so we can make it through the weekend. I hope this suspense will be worthwhile when the verdict is finally read.
 
During closing arguments, the defense made small issue of the blood found in the closet. They attributed it to a nosebleed! Well, friends, how often does a child, age 5, have a nosebleed in the corner of a closet which is obviously not attended to by a parent or sibling? A caring mother, observing her tot in her closet, obviously bleeding heavily from a nose bleed does not immediately apply numerous tissues and pressure to stop it? Oh, maybe the "nosebleed" was caused by said child being punched in the nose by a short-tempered mother who's kept her in there for whatever reason?

One "little" item that I picked up put into the hands of a jury requires a decent amount of discussion, to be sure. Add to that all the other issues and you have lots of time debating how Jerice treated Jhessye.

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about this being a quick verdict. We know so much more about Jerice than the jury. It's easier for us. We've been hashing this case out for a couple of years already! We know she was found guilty of some pretty serious abuse of her children before... enough to warrant a healthy jail sentence. Oh, if only the jury could have known that!
 
Thinking of Jhessye tonight.

Monday's gonna be the day.

I'm not ready for a hung jury/not guilty.

Monday's gonna be the day.
 
Jhessyes blood in the closet caused an impossible Catch 22 for the defense, I think. They have to concede that she was in that closet because she bled there. And maybe she bled a lot in there...enough to cause a blood stain almost the size of a sheet of letterhead....possibly.

This means, of course, that this poor little baby was stuck in that closet bleeding enough to have it absorbed in the carpet but not enough to indicate she bled to death.

Does that part even matter? More than half of the discussion is over once you concede that she lay bleeding in the closet. HRD dogs hitting on the carpet, the trunk and the dumpster are the other half of the discussion.
 
I am still holding out hope that the jury will make the right decision - and I am hoping that decision comes on Monday. My husband had surgery on Friday, and I have been cooped up playing nurse today. I watched my beautiful boys playing and their friends. My sons friend hit himself in the head with a baseball bat in my back yard. I immediately jumped in to mommy emergency mode. I cannot even begin to comprehend not taking care of ANY child that is hurting. My heart hurts so much over these babies that are hurt, suffer, and die with no care.
