It's very easy for all of us to expect a swift verdict when our own shoulders will never bear its weight or finality. A jury should never be begrudged the commitment to absolute certainty before delivering a verdict.

I don't believe anyone here is begrudging this jury one little thing. Just because folks are on the wire's edge after all these months doesn't mean they want to usurp justice!
 
Donald Trump on HLN discussing tweeting Arias .. ???? Really, this is news? Now he's a legal expert. Oh no.
 
I think there will be a verdict tomorrow. I kind of agree with Beth K that that is the reason they're not starting until 10 tomorrow. I don't give a flip what Jean C says. She always, always leans toward the defense.

My aunt was on the jury of a very high profile trial here in my county about 10 years ago. A group of girls murdered another girl who they were all upset with over a drug deal. They drove her out to a deserted field out in the middle of no where under the assumption they were having a bonfire party. They shot her and left her there. No one found her for over a week. They deliberated for 4 days, but found her guilty of 1st degree murder. My aunt said there were various opinions among them all, but they all pretty much agreed from the beginning that it was 1st degree. They all listened to each other and took it very seriously. In the end they gave her LWOP, not death. My aunt said it was one of the hardest things she had ever done in her life. She said she had nightmares throughout the trial and for months after it was over and said that if you ever have another persons life in your hands, no matter what horrible thing they may have done, you cannot fathom what it's like. I'm not worried at all and won't be until about 3pm Wednesday.

Now THAT'S legitimate PTSD!!!
 
Trump and NG surprised jury has taken so long....guess they human like us!
 
Ok peeps, time to take a step back and all take a deep breath. This is NOT the CA trial or jury and the continual comparisons are making me nuts.

Remember, this jury has been listening to the trial for four months. They are now finally able to decompress and compare notes. Justice is coming, just not as fast as we want. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and stop speculating.

What the heck??? People can say what they want to if it doesn't violate terms of service!!
 
I see the NG producers have uncovered the JA is ripping her "art" off from magazine advertisements. I suppose we already knew this?

Come HERE first!!!! Just like the throat slashing during Juan's closing, >snort< :floorlaugh:
 
I'm going to sign off for the night but leave you with this for positive thoughts:

Just trying to offer a little perspective.

By all means, I agree. I feel like Veruca in Willy Wonka, "I want it NOW!" Lol.
 
I believe that the jury has made a decision, wants to go home and be with their families as for one full night as they are to be sequestered once the verdict is given and goes into the penalty phase. I'm sure they want to get affairs in order before they get sequestered and can't go home for the length of time it takes for them to finish the penalty phase. It's what I would want if I was a juror. Make sure I have all my toiletries bought and packed, one great home cooked meal, a night to cuddle my babies (hubby, sign. other, pets) and have a full nights rest. JMO
They're being sequestered for the penalty phase? I did not know that.

It's about time they "uncovered" it. Posters here have been jumping up and down about it for weeks. lol
 
If the jury all votes for M1 but are split between premeditated and felony murder, will we ever know what the vote count was?

Yes, they have to mark on the verdict form how many for each count.

If I were on the jury I would want to discuss it so we could all agree on both counts.
 
I absolutely cannot stand Jean C. She's a meddlesome reporter who injects herself into a story instead of reporting it. She's no legal eagle, more like a drama queen shilling to keep herself in front of a camera.

Other than that I'm sure she's a lovely person.

Kind of like "oh, bless her heart"? :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

There has been no discussion of sequestering this jury that I've heard. Where did you get this information?
 
They're being sequestered for the penalty phase? I did not know that.

Why would they be sequested for the penalty phase when they weren't for the guilt/innocence phase? Doesn't sound right to me.
 
How do you know that they will be sequestered for the penalty phase? Thanks/

I think it was Vinny Politan or Joey Jackson that said that on HLN. That for the penalty phase they will be sequestered.

There are a lot of us here at my place..kids are all close by, especially at dinnertime, lol. Several are artists, and noted her sources and lack of talent, not to mention originality. Watching her in court, it was clear she was copying something, though I thought it was text. Son says she is copying pictures or photos..and he's right. I hope her supporters ask for their money back, lol. She has even manipulated those in her corner..
