2011.05.12 Jury Selection Day FOUR (Afternoon Session)

[jharres]

What is involved with the next phase? Is it just to strike or not to strike, or is it another whole set of questions?

 

[Amity]

I don't especially have a firm opinion <ducking now>

We had this conversation last Saturday around the dinner table.
Out of seven adults, I was the only one who waffled.....couldn't come up with a definitive answer.
It's not cut and dry for me. EACH case would be have to decided on it's own (circumstances, etc.), at least for me.
*This coming from a person who finds a spider in the house, catches it in a Dixie cup, opens the back door and sets it free*

So many have asked the same question: "Why do I keep watching?"

For me, it's kinda like watching a really lousy movie but you keep watching hoping it will get better. David Lynch's EraserHead comes to mind (that was 85 minutes of my life I'll never get back). :crazy:

I personally think the Defense wants those jurors who waffled when asked if they were for or against the death penalty. If they waffled, stammered, hemmed and hawed, the defense probably thinks it's because they don't believe in the death penalty but are saying they "would" be able to give the death penalty just to be on the jury? (Did that just make any sense at all?)

 

[Whome?]

ITA I also have a very high regard for all human life, but never having served on a DP panel, I can't say how I'd feel in a particular circumstance.

 

[Dafne]

I too have had problems getting kicked out

 

[logicalgirl]

So we have abuse, sexual abuse, family dysfunction, immaturity, brain disease, youth, etc., as a possible defense. Either that or the defense is fishing to see whether these defense would fly.


Also, looks like they may have casey testify during the penalty phase only. I would never have predicted that.

And this guy is against the DP. Don't think the state will want him.

All interesting.

Are you thinking the defense is actually going to use those factors or are they just running through mitigating factors in general?

1129 would talk tofamily about case not news media after trial done

 

[GennyMac]

So recess is called, HHJP leaves the bench, and attorneys DT get up to move around, ICA stands up, JB comes over to the front of the table to speak with AF, ICA tries to make eye contact with him, raises her eyebrows, and he IGNORES her. continues talking to AF, then the 'handler' comes over to take ICAs attention off of JB.

He has definitely told them to keep her away and busy - and it is apparent just how dejected she is becoming with each passing day. Her demeanor is getting worse and worse in terms of inner strength and resilience.

This is not easy to watch - because this DT has led this girl down the garden path to believe they can get her off, and they are simply using her as a
stepping stone to celebrity and future monetary gains based on the notoriety of this case.
