I don't understand either. I've thought all along that this jury would vote DP, and after yesterday I'm even more sure. Some over there think not because they believe Nurmi has succeeded in humanizing her. Gotta say that one doesn't fly for me at all.
I know one identifiable Mormon was stricken during voire dire, but some Mormon posters here and on BK seem convinced there is at least one Mormon on the jury. Say that is true. It's a pretty big (and imo insulting ) assumption that a Mormon would be more likely to spare her the DP because Travis broke chastity vows.
As pointed out here, murder ranks higher on the Mormon list of sins than does breaking chastity vows. She's demonstrably a murderer, a liar, unchaste, and the bearer of false witness. That a Mormon juror would condemn the victim and feel pity for the likes of JA simply because they are Mormon also doesn't fly either.
Last, I think that even if there is one honest holdout, eleven other jurors with strong feelings on the matter will be able to persuade that one to vote DP.
