Wondering the same. Thinking back to the OJ and Casey Anthony debacles. Seemed like they lived in the courtroom.Any word on how long they can deliberate tonight ?
I am only guessing also. But I would think they would spend a few minutes getting to know one another and being glad testimony is all over and then taking a quick vote to see where they all stand. Then I could imagine them making a few jokes about JS and his lawyering skills. I don’t think there would be a verdict, even a fast one before tomorrow.Even if they were all unanimous I could see where they may wait an hour or so before announcing.
IDK, this jury has been here a long time. Think they want to do their job and go home. They have to choose foreperson too. And they will be sitting with piles of boxes. But, its a lot and my prayers are with them.Wondering the same. Thinking back to the OJ and Casey Anthony debacles. Seemed like they lived in the courtroom.
Confirmed for me that I would make a really bad, very bad juror. My head would be spinning.Jury instructions are usually notoriously confusing. Having a jury come back to clarify some jury instructions puts another layer to that.
I have never seen a court do this before.
omg, please, I would love that! I would think they will discuss whether they think they can reach a verdict tonight or to just say forget it and spend the day tomorrow.I wonder if the Judge will offer or ask the Jury if they want dinner brought in. I’m scrounging for any tea leaves!
Jurors were sequestered in both of those trials. That is why I am against sequestered juries. If they learn more information from the outside, so be it. I do not believe every juror takes that oath to heart. Maybe I am wrong and I sure don’t believe they would admit it, nor would i ask them.Wondering the same.

I thought you were saying Jury requested Afternoon Tea!I wonder if the Judge will offer or ask the Jury if they want dinner brought in. I’m scrounging for any tea leaves!
I'd be upset that my notes would be destroyed. Hopefully they were all told in the beginning.Confirmed for me that I would make a really bad, very bad juror. My head would be spinning.
So, you are saying Judge would ok them working late and bringing in dinner? But, I thought defence atty folks think quick turnaround from jury means acquittal?If they stayed late to get to verdict I would think they would do so because they want to be done. And since they have borne the burden of sitting there for 6 weeks, not able to speak about the case, not able to be on social media, I would think the parties and Judge would find away to come back.

I've just watched the L&C video on replay. The possible vaping is at about the -1:01 mark.I wish I could have posted the video. Definite pumping action into her mouth, unlike a medical inhaler IMO
ETA: Have used both![]()
In your experience have you ever seen this happen?If they stayed late to get to verdict I would think they would do so because they want to be done.

Do we know if that is actual deliberation (as in they've already chosen a foreperson) or just that they've been in the room?L&C is reporting that jury has been deliberating for 15 min.
Ok, that's enough, right?L&C is reporting that jury has been deliberating for 15 min.
I think it’s within the judge’s discretion. In Murdaugh the jury was asked if they wanted dinner because they were working late, and they said No. and then all of a sudden jury verdict. Just speculation and having tea!So, you are saying Judge would ok them working late and bringing in dinner? But, I thought defence atty folks think quick turnaround from jury means acquittal?
Relinquishing the notes probably prevents the use on them in a future book or interview or some other use detrimental to the court process.I'd be upset that my notes would be destroyed. Hopefully they were all told in the beginning.
Murdaugh. Guilty in 3 hours. Dinner offer rejected because they were done.In your experience have you ever seen this happen?
