Please tell me he is not walking out of jail.
I love the judge. I thank the jury for its service and will await the retrial.
Like I said earlier, Amanda Lamm of WRAL is usually the person who covers these cases for that station. I'm surprised she has been absent for this one. She has written several books about the various murders in the Raleigh area in the past few years. Some like her books, others do not. I have never read one since I have watched the trials so I don't have an opinion about her writings.
I don't think so, does he?
There wasn't a trial about this one, East -- the slayer slayed himself before anything ever really got started. He had been arrested & charged with murder & rape, but that's as far as it got. This is by far, IMO, her best book. It's a bad crime; it happened here in Raleigh -- a college girl is murdered by a chemist who was very meek-seeming, a loner and just kinda weird. A quick read.

Oh Chiquita, it's not automatic (retrial). In my gut, I think it won't be retried, but it may well depend upon which way the 11/1 split went.
Poor Mrs. Christiansen...
Now will he get to home?

Tiger- just read your next post. Good they WILL retry. They must know which way the jurors were leaning. Does the judge usually announce that?
