GUILTY AR - Jersey Bridgeman, 6, raped & murdered, Bentonville, 20 Nov 2012 #2

Interesting, Bee. Yes, it seems to me that at least some bit or two of incompetence would have shown up during the trial even tho a CIC was not presented if indeed that had been going on in the trials I saw and in this one as well. I did not see it in the the two previous ones, and I agree that Holly's attys. seem competent enuff -- they've got a tuff case & a tuffer client. I think they're doing the best thing for him -- lying low in the weeds and saving the main course for the penalty phase.

And in the two cases with no defensive CIC that I saw, the judge did speak with the defendant about not presenting a defense, etc., and not testifying, and each of them seemed to understand what was going on as well as what the judge was saying.

It would be nice, however, to see the dayam trial. Frustrating, frustrating, frustrating.

Tomorrow is another day. Let's see what happens...

well i have decided these people are TERRIBLE tweeters

can they tweet from the courtroom? if so, just terrible (smh)

 

[wendybtn]

Agreed, Hoosgirl -- I think we'll see (or read!) a lot of that in the penalty phase of this trial. The DT must know that proving him NG would be a very tall order.

And I don't see this particular defendant on the witness stand....

In the American justice system, the prosecution must prove guilt usually "beyond a reasonable doubt." The defense is not required to prove anything. When sanity becomes an issue, there is divergence among the states.

They aren't allowed to tweet from inside the court room. :gaah:

I do wish they would tweet more (and better) information. The memorial page was updated a little bit ago so I do believe the jury is deliberating as we speak (but that's JMO since I haven't seen any media reporting they were done with instructions)

The defense rested without calling any witnesses. They have witnesses for the sentencing as they try to save Holly's life. #HollyTrial

Such a beautiful child.

I always ask WHY and in my heart I know there is no reason that can be given that would make sense to me. Evil is Evil and you can't explain it. I'm not for or against the death penalty. I can go either way. However, when it comes to the type of crime committed against Jersey I actually don't want the death penalty applied. I want to see this monster spend the rest of his living days afraid and looking over his shoulder. I want him to waste away in a cell with no friends, no life and with pervasive fear filling every moment of every day. That's what people like him deserve. I just think being put to death is more of a relief than a penalty. Maybe I am a vengeful person. All I know is that this monster can NEVER see the light of day again and however it goes down in the end will be OK with me.

sooooo, they began deliberating at 11 a.m. cst.......

i'm guessing 14 minutes in the verdict pool

j/k..........seriously though......i know they have four charges to go through, but i don't look for it to take very long at all.....

And now we wait!
