Closing arguments- thread #177

[Liebchenmutti]

Does anyone know how long they get to deliberate tonight?

 

[concernedmother]

Now she is scared.

 

[minor4th]

Oh, they actually started deliberating?

 

[Fudge29]

Im confused... what happens now??

Are they coming back Monday or do we hear anything over the weekend? Or if they reach a verdict now do we still wait til Monday?:scared:

Thanks x

Does anybody else just lose it when they show Travis's sisters cry?

It hurts me when watching other people cry

I hate seeing others cry. They are so broken. I can't imagine how rough it is for them to have go through all of this 5 years later.

I wanted more females, fewer males just because as a rule women are tougher on women imo

 

[lisasalinger]

Begin deliberating.....

Why do I have tears in my eyes?

I am feeling so emotional right now.

Me too, totally choked up!

We are emotional because we are human and we care about human life. It is the exact opposite of that "thing" at the defense table.

This case is an ultimate example of good versus evil. Good deserves to win, Travis deserves to win, and his family deserves to win. How can you breath air on this earth and not be emotional about that.

Good job, Juan!

 

[websurfer]

how will we get the verdict when it comes in?

10 is barb
13 is the wrestler
17 is poneytail

I don't think so. The alternate male is the one who required a hearing device and sounds older than a wrestler I just heard the description on HLN.

Monday 10am .. they'll do a couple of hours today, take a vote, it'll be unanimous and they'll think it over on the weekend and come back in on Monday take the vote again and do the paperwork.... JMO.

That is my thought too. It's Friday afternoon, why not sleep on it over the weekend.

 

[DeAnnaMisrahi]

I can only imagine the emotions coursing through Travis's family. They have to be so relieved that this is all almost over but SO scared that the jury will punish Travis for not being a perfect, holier than thou man. I want so badly for them to get the verdict that they seek and for Jodi Arias to be punished, fully, for what she did. I don't know how Juan Martinez could have laid out the facts any more effectively than he did. Outside of pie charts and diagrams directing them at every point from A to Z, I don't know what he could have done.

I believe that the jury will do the right thing in this case and find Jodi Arias guilty of 1st degree murder. I don't care whether or not she gets LWOP or the Death Penalty. Just as long as she is never among the population again.

My thoughts are with the Alexander family.

Jury =
8 men
4 women

Those ladies better represent! :rockon:

 

[Tulessa]

It is 3:40 in Arizona- plenty of time to deliberate!

Folks, it just took our Jury, a little over three hours to get a verdict. I'm praying justice will be swift and precise for Travis!

 

[meanddblj]

10 is barb
13 is the wrestler
17 is poneytail

it was 15 the oldest juror NOT 13!

 

[katiewonders]

They stayed until after 8 pm earlier this week; they were willing to stick to an hour lunch break --- to me, they are done, finished with this case and they want to go home and take a nice, long shower. IMO, they will stay late tonight and return with a verdict. (I can hope, can't I?)

 

[Winnts]

Well I know someone who's going to have an absolutely horrible weekend

 

[BritsKate]

we needed the women!!!!

I don't mean to speak for another gender...but I think Jodi is every man's worst nightmare.

 

[knicksgal1]

I can't stop the tears streaming for Travis and his family. Please let justice come for the quickly. Juan and Esteban did everything they could to hold his vicious killer accountable.

Begin deliberating.....

Why do I have tears in my eyes?

I am feeling so emotional right now.

Me, too. Just feel overwhelmed.
