AF: even the coldest of murder can have mitigation, do you understand? Alright? Okay?
Alright? Okay? Do you understand that? Maybe if I would ask the question in a normal manner in the first place I wouldn't have to say: do you understand? Alright?
She is still out of breath.
AF: can you concider LWOP as mercy even if the state proves agg circumstances?
no, probably not.
AF: Okay, (quickly onto the next complicated subject and question if you have never heard it before as the juror has not.) I am trying to find out if you would consider mercy...
JA: she has already answered it.
yes, I could go with mercy.
AF: this is a weighing process and not a counting process. you bring your experience to bear. are you an eye for an eye person?
in national things. Osama bin laden.
AF: we are not here for that, thank goodness. do you believe in an eye for an eye?
in a simplistic way, yes. (which side would want this lady, really? )
AF: is there anything about your feelings about the dp that would impare you from concideration such as age?
as age? (long pause) I don't know how to answer that.
AF: as honestly as you can.
blah, blah, blah...
if you are comparing...it is hard to discern which is the more direct penalty...if the crime is heinous then age matters.

they are not so strong.
JA: I object to the context...three times...
AF: any feelings about the dp that would...
no
AF: a mitigating circ lack of being mature or impulse control...
that goes back to age.
HHJP: will you consider it?
I would not consider the age, maturity when it comes to the dp.
HHJP: remember when I read to you about mit factors: age, charactor, circumstances surrounding...
sound went out for me.
