    Bosma Murder Trial 06.13.16 - Day 60 - Charge to jury - Day 2

    Here is my opinion after reviewing the decision tree's. They are either going to find them both guilty of 2nd degree murder or they are going to find DM guilty of 1st and MS not guilty. Let's see what happens MOO

    and boom goes the dynamite: "Unlawful confinement is now not available now as a route to first degree murder, Goodman says. "There is only one route to first degree murder in this case." The jury has to be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that his death was planned and deliberate."

    Jurors should NOT be a select group of society. It is highly important that jurors are representative of the greater society (jury of your peers). Remember, we are talking about taking someone's life away (essentially) this is why the burden of proof is so high in these types of cases.
