I reported to a Mod to change the title already!

No verdict yet? I'm off to bed to do a bit of reading - hopefully, when I come back in the morning - I shall see GUILTY on the title! Let me know "how long" the jury was out - okay?

Okay @Niner. Thanks for all you've done making Websleuthers aware of this case. Samantha Josephson death's has an important Uber/Rideshare message.

Okay, will do @Niner. Thanks for all you've done making Websleuthers aware of this case. Samantha Josephson's kidnapping and murder has taught us an essential ride share message.

and that included lunch!

That time has to mean guilty. Too brief to have deliberated for NG based on evidence. Imo

Watching her parents with tears

moving into sentencing now, judge asks jurors to stay

 

[scmom]

That was fast.

 

[LotusPawprint]

Jurors being polled and as they each affirm YES, guilty was their verdict, each answered confidently imo

 

[LotusPawprint]

Defense immediately renewed their motion for a new trial based on the initial traffic stop and they also cited how fast the verdict came back as reason for new trial

Denied

If it wasn't such a serious situation I would laugh at the absurdity of their reason for appeal based on fast verdict. Ridiculous.

 

[scmom]

Wow, the defense wanted to challenge the verdict based on the amount of time the jury took.
