I sensed that Judge was thinking out loud and was trying to figure out how specific to be to the jury while still answering their question. Tricky balance. Its facinating to see this play out live. So glad its being streamed.I'll say today's questions don't bode well for the defense.
I did find the Judge's explanation outside the jury confusing and circular.
Let me explain analogously.
Years ago I met a man from Africa. Not sure if it was unique to him or universal, a translation confusion-- but, after I would ask him a question, he'd respond. Like this:
Me: would you like me to x?
Him: yes, I would like you to, no.
I never knew which he meant!
Judge, same. In the first part it sounded Ike you have to physically touch a thing to be charged with tampering and then later, only be party to it.
I was just relieved that his last words to the jury will be the ones likely to stick their landing -- you don't have to touch it.
Now, however, I think I understand the charges better: they're attached to specific events.
Tampering: she touched the keys, in an attempt to keep PG from them. Guilty of tampering.
Conspiracy to tampering: FD mailed the license plates to the city of sewer. MT was an accessory. Whether she touched them directly or not. Guilty of conspiracy to tampering.

He also has to make sure he is answering very specifically within the statute and language of the law. If he misspeaks, it opens the door for appeals/mistrial, etc etc.I sensed that Judge was thinking out loud and was trying to figure out how specific to be to the jury while still answering their question.

Closing arguments aren't available to be re-watched by jurors during deliberation, are they?I think I saw an SOS earlier … how may I be of assistance this fine day of thumb twiddling?
I just had an updated version (which they suggested). I thought it was free and they charged me $300+! So stupid of me. I don't even understand what I had from the start.M infotainment system has been recalled.
Now your telling me that my beds STILL won't make themselves when that's resolved?

That aside, I don't see this as a generational thing. Attitudes to murder and its cover-up are not evolving IMO. One thing that is is an expectation of privacy- younger people might be wondering where the rest of the digital info is. But other than that- I don't see generation impacting deliberation.
MOO
I'm just hoping that had her favorite chocolate croissant.Now more than ever, I hope there are eyes on MT 24/7 so she is not able to make a run for it.
MTWho pays mini Horn? I'm confused.
I would imagine so since they were introduced into evidence. It was noted that they were given a "fully loaded" laptop, lots of boxes, and an easel in the deliberation room.One question.
Are they able to view the 3 Interviews in the deliberation room?
I'm getting some of the yummy Trader Joes frozen choc croissant and tipping a latte with one this weekend! They've been sold out locally every time I have gone but they are tasty! YumI'm just hoping that had her favorite chocolate croissant.
YesOne question.
Are they able to view the 3 Interviews in the deliberation room?
This is a hard one.One question.
Are they able to view the 3 Interviews in the deliberation room?
Don't see it. Much to complicated and the top charge will take time imo. But, perhaps they took a day 1 vote and are done with conspiracy? Who knows? Jury's and horse races have much in common imo!How are we feeling about verdict by end of day today? My bet of by 3pm EST is cutting it close!!!! lol
I just said to husband I think it will be today- no reason just a feeling. Adding their last question was on jury instruction, they seem to be making progress.How are we feeling about verdict by end of day today? My bet of by 3pm EST is cutting it close!!!! lol
@lucegirl you got the SOS and answered it...it was the closing statements as evidence. I thought they weren't evidence but I'm not an atty so didn't want anyone misled which was the reason for the SOS. Did you see the last jury note? Interesting and solid question imo. Facinating to watch this process play out live.I think I saw an SOS earlier … how may I be of assistance this fine day of thumb twiddling?
