2011.05.17 Jury Selection DAY EIGHT (Morning Edition)

[SurfieTX]

He could consider the DP.

 

[Amster]

He against the DP but not really??

 

[Insomnia Momma]

Which is it? Is he against it or can he consider it? It seems black and white to me :waitasec:

 

[Lera213]

MOO he wants on the jury, so he says he is against the DP so the DT won't strike him, at the same time he states he can decide he can vote for DP if the law states...so the SA won't strike him.

 

[SurfieTX]

I wonder if AF is going to grill him.

 

[nursebeeme]

after weighing he COULD vote for death

 

[snowshuze]

He against the DP but not really??

I think he just means he would find it a difficult decision, but he WOULD consider it.

I'd be the same way, it would have to be an especially heinous crime.

 

[Softail]

CJBP saying the bottom line is, can you consider what the instruction of the law is?

He says he can.

 

[nursebeeme]

I am guessing he will be a 1-2 on AF's scale...

HHJP: is giving the cart before the horse speech. he is telling the juror that all the talking about the dp is because they have to. each defendant is presumed innocent. do you have a problem with that?

no

HHJP: he is saying it must stay that way until the proponderance of evidence brought by the state outweighs that. the defendant does not have to prove anything. any problem?

no

HHJP: she has a right not to testify and you are not to hold that against her, do you understand or have a problem with that?

no

HHJP: if we were to get to that stage you will be given a list of agg and mit factors. agg must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt by the state. the mit need not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt but by a greater weight. 49/51. you understand?

yes

HHJP: some of the mit factors I want to go over with you. two main you may consider: the age and any other factor in her life...one thing I will instruct you on is as follows: the decision you give the court must be based on the law. if you determine one agg is found and that the mit do not outweigh the agg or in the absense of mit the agg is not sufficent you may recommend at DP rather than LWOP. However you are not required to recommend death. if you find the opposite....you must recommend LWOP rather than a sentince of death. any problem following that instruction?

no

HHJP: any opinions either philosophical or religious?

I am against it.

HHJP: remember what I told you earlier about being against the dp. would your views prevent you from finding the defendant guilty if the evidence so warrented?

no

HHJP: it would not bother you that if you found her guilty that the dp would be imposed?

I would be concerned but I could live with it.

HHJP: even though you are against it, can you consider it. would you automatically vote no to dp?

no

HHJP: so you would not automatically vote against the dp.

no, would not automatically vote against the dp.

HHJP: can you consider the dp?

yes

HHJP: if the facts and evidence, if after going thru the weighing...the process is not a mechanical process. different factors may be given different weight by different jurors. you and you alone decide what weight is given to a factor. hypothetical...after you weighed the agg and the mit...could you invision voting for a recommendation of death?

yes

HHJP: if on the other hand, LWOP, after you have weighed agg and mit, could you vote LWOP?

yes

HHJP: can you go against you personal feelings about DP, and apply the facts. any reservations?

no

I wonder if AF is going to grill him.

Oh I am sure she will, she hasn't talked at all today

 

[Zoe Bogart]

He is saying he would be concerned, but could live with imposing the DP

I wasn't watching the screen when he said that. Is there any chance they had a shot of ICA's face at that time?

He could live with it. Okay, ICA, how's that sound?

Another juror concerned with innocent people being sentenced. I guess that's reasonable. He sounds less adamant than the woman who was extremely reluctant to convict because of that.

 

[SurfieTX]

He says it is an "absolute decision." He is opposed to applicatoin of the DP wrongfully.

 

[nursebeeme]

his concern is with wrongful application of the dp

 

[Patty G]

Remember we are not going to "run wild" when Attorney Finnel is at the podium. We know what she is going to say as we all have heard it over and over again.

Thanks so much.

 

[beach]

Hey guys...just so you know, we are unapproving references to all these offensive youtube links and posts referencing them. Let's not give them more free hits, kwim?

It would be a big help if we didn't even talk about them anymore.

TIA!

Thanks so much.

Thanks, I'm using personal restraint and will remove my headphones when she is speaking.

 

[~Lisa~]

So if this guy makes it, will the Judge swear them in right away?
Tia!

 

[nursebeeme]

I think he will do fine because he will also see all the evidence and be able to weigh

no questions from AF

Casey gave Caylee the death penalty.
