I wonder if maybe the forewoman that was chosen has ended up being a good thing for the defense.
Naahhh.... I don't think so!
Ok, I'm back from Dr., now time for verdict!
Quite right! I did predict they would have a nice lunch, and then say "We have a Verdict!!"
would that not be interesting. I am sure judge locke looked carefully at backgrounds of these people ....kinds of jobs etc. to get the best person to lead this...not everyone should or could be that person..as I recall she is in her mid 30's and has a professional career of some sort hopefully with some experience in mediation and sorting thru complex directions. At this point I do think there must be some counts that all are not agreeing on and discussion is taking time. Just a guess and feeling but I think they will do all possible not to hang but at times that is the only answer. Those questions show careful consideration of every word in the instructions which could be an advantage for the defense...at least from my perspective.
So, what happens if they are hung on just ONE count - and the rest guilty or not guilty - would they have to re-try him again on ALL counts?? Anyone know? TIA!
