Zach Adams on trial -kidnapping/murder Holly Bobo 9/20-22, 2017 GUILTY

[2Hope4]

I wonder if the jurors have a question over whether a testimony was for the truth, or heresay, could the judge answer?

"What do we do when the evidence is entirely circumstantial" was part of the question asked regarding charges #HollyBobo

I feel like asking about circumstancial evidence could be a bad sign :/ hope I'm wrong

He's gonna get off. Crud!!!

those TBI "suits" must be very very nervous...after the most expensive and way too long investigation if they lose the case can't imagine the public backlash.

not necessarily!! When i was on a jury we asked tons of questions as well and we came up with a guilty verdict!

I think this could be read a couple of ways. I think they are not together on the top charge. I think they have hold outs based on circumstantial evidence on a lesser charge. I think they are split. What he read to them about them being th sole arbiters may move some. I am thinking guilty of a lesser charge. Fingers crossed.

ETA: The Nicks make me crazy. The talk about the facts and then encourage calls about opinion. They say yes to almost everything till another caller corrects them on facts and then they agree with them. It is late and I am cranky. I need a verdict, I guess.

Or maybe there's one or two holdouts that the rest are trying to convince and they said they'd have the judge clarify, which he couldn't.
Darn, I hope he doesn't get off.

If they think the evidence in this case is *only* circumstantial that worries me. It tells me the jury does not understand direct evidence vs circumstantial evidence. This is commonly confusing to people, even people who have followed trials before.

This case just so happens to have both direct evidence and circumstantial evidence. Under the law both are to be treated the same.... i.e. it's evidence. One type is not considered better than the other as far as the law.

Zach does not look good. It is a good thing they have make-up for him. The eyes are so consistent with his booking photo when he was gaunt. His use of drugs have taken a toll. He is not that old.

Rather see a hung jury vs a not guilt plea; would then hope state tries each of the others before returning to ZA since they then might have more evidence by what is revealed in those cases... IMO all should have tried together since it's a case of them all acting together... Wonder what SteveS has to say?

One way to look at such a question is that they are essentially wondering "How strong does the evidence have to be, to convict?" That may be good for ZA if they are questioning whether they have enough to count. Although it could also work against him, with the knowledge that it's up to them to answer that question however they think right.

But ...

I've decided that what they were trying to figure out is how to look at the kidnapping and rape charges, since the only evidence of those is pretty much inferential. No one testified to having seen those done by ZA. Which to me is bad news for ZA, because I think this is indicating they've already agreed that he's guilty of murder. And if they feel freed to accept the inferences, they could decide on the others fairly quickly as well, assuming they have accepting the evidence as reliable.

Of course I could be completely misreading.

I am curious. I was considering creating a poll and I would like your input. I was thinking of a simple poll with 3 options - guilty, not guilty, undecided. Are there any options you would like added? thoughts?

Haha - the Nicks drive me crazy too - I cannot listen to them very long at a time. I told my daughter they are after ratings and increased viewer numbers and agree with every caller
