They have had under 8 hours to discuss what each took sepesrate notes on for 4 months. Yes, it would be hasty to have verdict today, IMO.
Since they haven't been able to talk to ANYONE about any of this for four months, I was hoping for, but not expecting a "quick" verdict.
I would imagine that even if they all are on the same page that they want to talk things over, discuss the witness, evidence, discrepancies (lies), etc.
Also, Beth Karas was just saying on HLN that it is possible that the jurors have asked questions/requested evidence and we don't know it. The judge said to ask questions in writing. IF she received any questions she could do a conference call with the attorneys to discuss it, then answer them in writing.
Uh oh. Jean C. said the jurors just left and looked very serious. More than she has seen them all trial. She sees that as a sign that there is a disagreement.
HOWEVER, Beth K just said she feels they have made a decision, are going home to think about it, and will discuss again tomorrow.
ALso, they said deliberation at 10 am tomorrow?
