CO - James Holmes Trial - *Penalty Phase* #4 - LWOP

[LyndyLoo]

If they take a vote to see where everyone stands and all already unanimous yes it's possible. I've served on jury's before.

BUT even so they have so many verdict forms to fill out and betting they all would like to sleep on it until the AM to make sure...ORRRR They want to FINISH and send him off ASAP!! so they can get back to some normality..Course none of them will ever forget what they heard or saw during their 15 weeks listening to such evidence!!

Does Colorado have Counselling available to juror's like in some other States?? They sure deserve it!!

Which State's have made changes to their DP execution's to use of "Firing Squads" because it has been so difficult to obtain the "Lethal Injection" meds??

In a way, that form of execution would be poetic Justice to be forced to endure seeing gun's pointing at him and feel ( If that's possible?) the pain even if only for a moment on his way to be JUDGED in a much higher court!! Just my thought's on that.
:thinking:

I think Utah & Oklahoma are the only two states w/ current legislation allowing the execution of DP inmates by a firing squad. However, several other states are considering changing their legislation to allow the same.

OK never banned it (but did update their legislation many years ago so that it would only be used as a secondary method & UT just enacted legislation to allow it if lethal drugs are unavailable back in March of this year)

Does any one think a verdict will be reached in an hour?

I think it's possible they could agree in an hour (either way), but I think just filling in the verdict forms will take more than an hour! So doubful...but we can hope!

Wow. Here in Cali we have about 745 on death row. No execution since 2002.

I read some jury analyst are predicting Friday afternoon. Which sounds reasonable with this jury.

Good point!

Channel 7, Denver, Dan Recht, is reporting that he is surprised there was no State rebuttal. This may be a smart move on the State as the Defense was expecting a rebuttal so they could come back with one and give their final 'surprise' (my word) last minute ditch effort.
Since the State did not give a rebuttal, the defense lost their 'surprise' statements.

Channel 7 is surprised this ended so quickly the figured another 1 1/2 hours more of the lawyers.

DB does not think there will be a verdict today, maybe tomorrow. Phase 3 is the hardest to decide. Usually late Friday afternoon verdicts usually happen as the Jury does not like to have to wait the week end, but no one really knows.

Channel 7 seems to favorite the defense, depending on who is giving the interview, but it all they seem to for the defense. JMO

I do not know if there is away to 'view' these videos by Channel 7, Denver, that they do during breaks. Sorry. Hope this helped to give another view.

I'm thinking we will have a verdict tomorrow.

I wonder if the female jurors (9) are smitten with GB. He is a very polished attorney.

 

[NotMyselfNEMore]

The Denver7 legal analyst is saying he was surprised that there was no rebuttal argument, and that Brady might have been caught unaware. I wonder if that was intentional by GB, or if he just felt it wasn't necessary?

ETA - Ms Josie beat me to it (and much more thoroughly

1. Mr. B did not rebut in first phase either
2. If Mr. B had chosen to rebut, then defense would have an opportunity to rebut. I think GB made a wise choice.

Good day today...no storms here, power didn't go out, didn't loose wifi,

And we don't have to listen to the defense argue any more!!!

 

[Nore]

I want to thank everyone here I could not read the victims statements, or listen. I get too upset. I am hoping for DP. Tell future gens.? what about the children and parents of the people he killed? I wish all of you were on the jury!! We don't want him free ever.
