This jury will never be the same. They will never look at the world or a child the same ever again. My heart breaks for them. No wonder they are tired.

I should have added that no matter what, the jury will be reassured they have "all the time in the world." #ShaniyaDavis #ABC11

This jury will never be the same. They will never look at the world or a child the same ever again. My heart breaks for them. No wonder they are tired.

I feel for them as well, but its not nearly as bad as what the sweet baby went thru, so I guess it is what it is, I still wish this had been televised etc, maybe the next Momster would know the outcome, I am amazed at the comments in a few local papers so many convinced that this case IS NOT A human trafficking case, they only think that is when girls are sold in mexico or something, I know the details are painful but her story is so important, I hate to think someones" delicate ears" could stand in the way of getting the message out there! :moo: but you are right Believe, nothing will ever be the same!

Shaniya Davis jury asks for photos, soil samples
The jury in the Shaniya Davis murder case asked for more photographs and soil samples Thursday as it continued to deliberate the fate of Mario McNeill.
The jury has also asked for the definition of malice, premeditation, and deliberation as it relates to first-degree murder charges against McNeill. The judge called the jury back into the courtroom and reread the part of his instructions that refer to the 1st degree murder charge.

#ShaniyaDavis: Judge Ammons worried about losing juror over the weekend and "flushing a 7-or-8-week endeavor"

WHY are there not any alternates?! :banghead:
And, why is this so difficult? Just bring them in Friday. End of story.
Quit debating it and just do it.
I'd even give them the choice to work Saturday but that I know that won't happen.

 

[believe09]

If they dont, they need to come back. Shaniya deserves this.
