I'd hate to think the victims family, in any case, would be the reason to vote one way or another. It's actually pretty manipulative for the A's to move from the witness room to the hall just to be seen by the jury if that was their motivation for moving there and I'm not saying it was. A murder victim with no family members to fill seats in the courtroom or give tearful victim impact statements is just as entitled to justice as a much loved victim with a large family. The jury should be considering the cruelty inflicted on Travis and weighing that against the mitigators and nothing more.
Please don't throw tomatoes If the Arias clan (was even there lol!) moved from their holding room to camp out in the hallway so they could be seen by the exiting jury, we'd be losing it right now. You know it's true. xoxo MO
If it was manipulative I'll give them that because they have been muzzled and constrained throughout this trial right down to ribbons. They have largely been powerless in court, drowning in a deluge of slime. They're reminding the jury who the victim was, IMO. I can see myself doing that as well, right or wrong.
