"Judge Newman encouraged the juror not to speak publicly until after the trial but said she had the right to speak if she wished."

That's what I said.

I heard there was a verdict

That's a good point. Someone here posted last night that former SC AG, Charlie Condon was interviewed and said the judge would instruct the jury that, where a juror might consider multiple shooters (including the defendant) to be involved, that "a shot from one is as a shot for all." But, I did not hear any such instruction.

Maybe the instruction is only given if the jurors raise such a question to the judge because to give that instruction in advance might be construed as the Court suggesting such a scenario?

The prosecution has to request that "hand of one, hand of all" jury charge be delivered by the judge to the jury before they go deliberate. In this case, they did not. Here's a tweet from Charlie Condon himself about it last night:

And that statement was found in the trash in a building near the kennels? If yes, that’s so bizarre. Alex said he never balanced a checkbook so probably didn’t look at statements. Did Maggie?

Not from what MM sister said on the stand. She said MM was "not an organized" person.

Having just re-listened to MP's testimony, MP described MM's bills and checkbook on the floorboard of her vehicle and that she never balanced a checkbook, in comparison to herself, that had to reconcile her checkbook to the penny. MP also described her sister as a free spirit and not an organized person. MOO

Whoa. That's not good for the defense

Where are they getting that idea??

I missed rebuttal and all activities after. According to the thread how do you all think it went?

What’s a good source for recap? I will skip through JG. I can’t believe he fake cried at the end.

TIA

I hope it's not just a question

That's what I said.

Sorry, I thought it just said that he asked her not to. (not the part where it was within her rights if she chose to)

 

[gremlin444]

Seriously?

I believe that Newman said that any juror questions would be answered back in the courtroom, on camera. So I don't think we are looking at a returned verdict (but I could be wrong).

 

[ZoriahNZ]

What?!! How can a verdict be reached so quickly? Does this bode well or ill for the accused?

Okay so maybe it's just a jury question or request to adjourn until tomorrow.

I hope it's not just a question

But If only a 3-minute warning, I think it is most likely a question.
