So did i, thought they said DP!Dbm
ETA, I thought he said death????
I registered, and step 2 said death, then step 3 said aggravating was not greater than mitigating. But he never said life without parole so sorry about that guys.

The jury only completed the aggravating and mitigating factors form and found the state proved 3 out of 4 aggravating factors, so I think now it goes to the judge for formal sentence, which I think has to be life, right?
So LWOP - Not surprising! I think that's the appropriate verdict. Now we'll find out what the poll was on the KM verdict. Hopefully the judge will ask before he dismisses them.
Actually I think I/we were wrong.....I think only one aggravating factor has to be proven, and it was (3 were), so it can be death. Since one was proven there was no need to go into mitigating?

Color me confused, because I thought that the Supreme Court of the United States said that ONLY jurors can give the death penalty?
U.S. Supreme Court: Ring v. Arizona | Death Penalty Information Center
Can you imagine if one of the jurors changes their mind when polled on KM?
Jury found State proved one agg factor beyond a reasonable doubt -- cold, calculated premeditated -- but that the mitigators outweighed that, there it is LWOP. It is not a recommendation. It would only be a recommendation if they came back with Death, then judge could still over rule and give Life.
State only argued 2 aggs. They dropped 2 other aggravators and never argued them to jury when judge indicated they were not applicable under case law.I thought they proved three out of four??
Where did you find their ages?anyone else notice the ages of the 10w/2m jury ... 3 or 4 are quiet young
Wouldn't they have already been polled about that?
