Poor Gary looks ready to blow.

I'm really worried about Gary. Not sure he's going to make it though this. All these trials. There will be appeals. Particularly if the DP is assessed, there will be delay after delay after delay. I hope he can come to a place of peace soon. My heart aches for these poor families. Sure hope they get a solution that they feel gives them some modecum of justice.

Poor Gary looks ready to blow.

It is so heartbreaking to see Gary trying so hard to hold the pain and grief inside. Eventually he will blow or implode. I feel so bad for him.

State pointing out that Channon was scared as it was to be alone in her friends apartment. think about how she felt hour after hour being in that house alone with strangers who brutalized her.

Channon suffered "24 hours of hell" - Price

 

[yolorado]

The other Prosecutor is laying it out...how awful it was for Channon to endure...how long she had to endure it. How she had no choice. How Cobbins did have choices but Channon did not. How she was tormented and left to die in a house full of people who had no mercy and offered no help.

Judge now explaining law to jury

Cobbins kept his face shielded from jury with his hand during closing arguments

 

[yolorado]

Jury will have to identify agrivating factor(s) if they all agree they existed. Must write them on form, specifically listing them.

Jury will have 3 choices - life with parole, life without parole and death

 

[yolorado]

Jury will have to specify the felony to with the agrevating circumstance(s) relates.

It sounds like it is going to take this jury a while to deal with all these charges.

Hate to have to ask this but are the Jury still deliberating the sentence? I had to do something and returned and can't really find out anything. Help!
