IT is true. There have been sentences overturned because of this exact thing. Even if the Judges send them back with the Allen charge it has been used to appeal. I don't remember who I was watching but she was quoting cases in which because the Judge sent them back or removed jurors that the sentencing was appealed and they won.
It is touchy. I know I have gone back and forth a billion times. After listening to the jurors and sitting down and going through the photos, I think they were right. She deserved death. She really is something. But in the end it is LWOP and I think that will work better on this case in the long run. It takes her out of the limelight and sends her to a shed to live out her life.
Thank you Scarlett----I love reading your posts----they make so much sense! We both agree that LWOP is the best sentence. I just hope JSS will agree.
