Will there be two separate verdicts for each defendant?
I've served on a capital murder case so I'm familiar with all the forms to fill out, I was wondering if a verdict could be reached and read at different time than verdict for the second defendant.Yes that is my understanding that there are two separate forms (one set for each of them). The jury is asked to complete verdict forms for each one of the defendants independently.
ETA-There is actually a lot of verdict forms they have to fill out (they were given about 20 for each defendant). The judge explained that for each CHARGE, there is 2 forms (a guilty + not guilty form---use 1), and they have to fill out a form for each charge and for each person.
I also expect a quick verdict.
This was a strange trial...why was neither parent asked why they did not call 911 when their baby was found dead???
Boy watching Daniel Sr. he is calm and collected and simply lying for every response. I suspect if we can see that thru the screen those jurors are seeing it first hand. He is just as guilty as she is. I feel so bad for the foster mom who I am sure wished she could have done more but the system is so screwed up. These case workers have lists ten miles long...take a peek and off to another case.
She wasn't testifying for herself other than if she can get Daniel off they think he will regain custody of Daniel Jr eventually and she will get a light sentence due to drug use as a mitigating factor and eventually they will all be reunited. She's too full of herself to consider Daniel will probably dump her if he does get off, regain custody of Daniel and, more importantly to them, their precious dogs.
