:twocents: fwiw :
While I understand that 13 hours to deliberate may not be long to discuss the evidence, etc, it is IMO because this case is a 'no brainer' -- the state clearly PROVED pre-meditated murder !
The evidence against Jodi is overwhelming and Mr. Martinez presented each and every point very succinctly !
I hope the jury is NOT hung-up on discussions about the IRRELEVANT bull that was brought into the trial by the DT -- such as Jodi's childhood, ex-bf's, religion, sex, etc etc etc ...
And I sure hope they are NOT hung-up on discussing Alyce, Samuels and that last so-called expert [can't remember his name] because ALL their testimony should be DISREGARDED ! :liar:
The defense was an EPIC FAIL with lie after lie after lie ... and should have absolutely NO credibility in their decision!
IF they go longer than today, I will really go :scared:
:moo:
If I was the foreman we'd have a whiteboard and two columns. One that says "evidence that deals with the premeditation/felony murder factor" and the other that says "distracting bullpoop".
One column would get significantly longer than the other. And then we'd toss that long column and focus on the short one.
Perhaps they are separating the wheat from the chaff so they can have meaningful discussion. There was a heck of a lot of chaff.
