I understand the temptation to jump to that conclusion, I really do. (and yes, she's every bit as wicked & evil as Manson & others..) But, it also might be they collectively decided to take time and go through the evidence presented, carefully. Perhaps simply out of respect for the years of work by Martinez, Flores & company.
Even though the decision seems so obvious to us observers, (and it does, but we know far more too), it's understandable they'd want to make absolutely sure that they have no regrets. I'm cool with that.
This decision will determine what's next in the process which ~ when made ~ there's no turning back. They have to live their lives with this decision, a far heavier responsibility than observers can appreciate.
As sweet as a 1hr verdict might be, I'll still be thrilled to hear they chose to pop some DVD's in and watch Det. Flores & the killer a 2nd time. How many of us have seen them more than once? Each time, we saw something new, or differently, right?
To know they watched intently, again ~ as she tossed out all those new lies ~ a new one for every little 'proof' of her presence in Mesa. They NEED to watch & be reminded how VERY easy it is for her to lie and lie and lie, how it flows like a lazy river from her mouth.
Because, THEN will they talk about what they heard her say on the stand. And conclude they have NO reason to believe one single word she said under oath. Not one. And IF they do THAT - then they remove from the discussion or consideration that Travis was a pedophile, an abuser, that he ever borrowed a red cent from her, that he knew about the sex tape, that they ever "exchanged" passwords, that he was "courting" her, proposed to her, or "invited" her to Mesa on June 4th. If they discount every single thing that's based solely on her word - they'll not struggle with the decision.
But it may take a little time to take those steps.
:seeya: marciec! I can appreciate where you're coming from regarding a quick verdict... As long as the jury returns a verdict of GUILTY of Murder in the 1st Degree, I'm okay with waiting for them to do their due diligence. But I don't know how long my body can hold up... I'm on a verdict vigil. :countsheep:
A couple of quick questions regarding the part of your post I bolded:
1) Do you know which interrogation tapes the jury will be able to access during their deliberations?
2) Has a complete copy of Det. Flores' report been submitted into evidence?
3) Is there a link somewhere that contains a list of submitted evidence?
There's so much evidence out there, it's difficult to remember what evidence has been presented in front of the jury, and what has been precluded for one reason or another. TIA!
Hey... there's an Arizona seal up on my live feed... Does that mean anything, or will it just remain there while the jury is deliberating?
