I don't see how JB could know the verdict before it was read, other than the short amount of time it took. No way it would be murder with that short time, no evidence looked at, no transcripts, no questions.
I just think the jurors were over it. 2 months in a hotel room, 2 months listening to what we witnessed, it was all just too much. No way they could keep up with all the dates, all the lies. As I was watching the trial, I too felt that the evidence was not discussed enough to prove anything. It seemed the trunk liner was washed over, just a blip on the screen, it seemed a lot was left out that could strengthen the State's position, but really, there was no direct evidence.
The trial was too disjointed to put 2 and 2 together if you had not been reading here for 3 years.
