personal feeling - guilty - and based on most of the stuff WE got to hear (some of which was outside the jury)
What I think the verdict will be? not guilty, or MAYBE 2nd degree if they are looking for a way to throw the prosecution a bone - but don't think that is the right verdict for either side, as NCSU so aptly described it.
Also agree with Fran - waaaayyyyy too much time has been spent on stuff that does not make a difference in this case, from ducks to necklaces and the technical evidence has been so open to interpretation it isn't funny.
IMO - if he is convicted - it will be because of the google searches. I could find him guilty based on that and I still think it's the smoking gun - but - a determined juror could toss that based on the defense witness. I don't think it was rebutted effectively, but I also think it was presented by the prosecution ineffectively, as well.
Their closing better paint a really simple picture of how this all went down.
