I'm bringing my post over as I was right at the end of the previous thread and I was replying to Spellbound . . .

I think this an excellent suggestion - we have time to contribute whatever we can to assist them through this next phase. I can't imagine what they are feeling right now - all this time and still no result - they are looking at potentially a few more months before this really ends.
I keep trying to find a nugget of something positive - so far, the only thing I have come up with is that we now know that at least some of the jury were FOR the death penalty which is why it wasn't unanimous for life. I would love to know what the breakdown was.
I don't blame the jury as a whole, because obviously it wasn't all of them, just some who stood firm. I won't put myself in their place. It's too easy for me to say I would have gone for DP, but they are the ones who were chosen to make the decision, not me.
I would love to know what they think once they have the opportunity to see all that we've seen during the trial. And, as far as selecting another jury? Well, it won't be easy to do in this county, but it will be interesting to see how they handle it.
In the meantime, my thoughts and prayers are with the Alexander family, their friends and supporters, Juan Martinez and Det. Flores and all those who have worked so hard to find justice for Travis.
In the end, I know Jodi will get exactly what she deserves.
