How long is natural life?
In the immortal words of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, "I have a bad feeling about this".
Thanks for posting the link. I had stopped watching any of her interviews because it is too nauseating and infuriating to listen to her but this clip made me feel good! I love how they say she was kind enough to bring a sample of the Survivor shirt to show the jury and otherwise ridicule her.
Then when he asks if we should feel safe if CMja is released from the four walls of prison she says yes, "If you're not abusing me and attacking me and threatening to kill my life, there's no reason to fear."
"Kill my life"? LOL, that is a new one!
Murder = Homicide, an illegal, criminal act; Deliberate actions which result in the death of an 'innocent' human being -- In this case, premeditated and especially cruel; i.e., 29 stab wounds, many of which were defensive, a slashed throat and a bullet through the brain.
Execution = Justice, a legal act; Sentence carried out under a societal system of law and order whereby a guilty murderer/ess is executed pursuant to legal conviction by a jury of peers.
I'm surprised when folks don't see the distinction.
There are 'just' wars as well, but that will remain off topic here.
I heard earlier that the court staff and security will be there tomorrow so I don't see why not.
:truce: I'm changing the Juanettes Kickline from DP to JU => Jury Unanimity. I will be fine with whatever this jury decides, as long as they are unanimous! I can't imagine the Alexander family having to endure another several weeks of trial with a new penalty phase jury.
Again, everyone's invited to join... NO AUDITION NECESSARY!
So far, the kickline members are basilcat, EGirl, rose222 (granted special permission to dance out of sync in the wings), scorekeeper, and me. Please correct me if I missed anyone...

BBM. If the jury hands down a Life sentence, there is no consultation with anyone. It's the jury's decision, not the family's, or Juan's. The only thing following that is JSS deciding whether it's LWOP or life with the possibility of pareole.
My list is more like:
1. Read WS non-stop
2. Swig wine
3. Pace
4. Swig wine
5. Post some inanity on WS
6. Swig wine
7. Pace
8. Swig wine
9. Find a new candle and light it
10. Swig wine
I'll breathe when we get a verdict, lol.
Hmm interesting Dana Perrino just said on The Five her mother spanked her with a wooden spoon.. Hmm She was White House Press Secretary & now news analyst..
Soooo... I think that negates one of CMCHJA mitigating factors rightttttttt? Not everyone spanked with wooden spoon go & kill someone 3 ways to Sunday cuz they didn't wanna go steady anymore! Just say'n.. JMO

The Lord has made Himself known: He works judgment; the wicked man is snared by his own devices. (Psalm 9)
I saw that too, and mentioned it in a later post. The jury can decide whether they want to deliberate on Friday or not. If they feel they are close and have the stamina to do so, then perhaps they will.Now we're seeing tweets that according to the Public Information Officer there may be deliberations on Friday. The key word being MAY.
Just as an FYI to anyone interested...I served as foreperson on a jury last summer. We sent a note twice to the judge saying that we were hung. After the second note, he called us back to the courtroom and went through instructions with us again. We finally reached a guilty verdict. The deliberations should have taken 5 minutes ( VERY clear evidence) but we had one holdout that had dug his heels in. It took us two days, but we got there. I'm holding out hope for these jurors as well.
It was with a female interviewer--maybe the first interview? I didn't see the entire interview (no way am I going to watch any of them in their entirety), just a clip from it on HLN.
BTW: It's funny that we all hate HLN (except for Mark Eiglarsh), yet we watch it!
:seeya:
BBM: And that is exactly what JA wants -- and unfortunately, the convicted murderer will thrive on this because the focus will be on her !
It will be a major cluster mess !
And it will continue the nightmare for the Alexander Family !
I hope andlease:
lease:
lease: that there is no deadlock for the Alexander Family ...
The only solution IMO is a DP Verdict ... :waitasec: like yesterday ...
:moo:
