Jury can consider the love the children have for their mother #MarissaDeVault

are we allowed to consider welfare of defendants children as mitigating circumstances? #MarissaDeVault

Why else were they paraded out there?:facepalm:

Jurors can use the welfare of the children as a mitigating circumstance but Judge can't say this #MarissaDeVault

Judge wants to read an instruction to DeVault jury. Prosecution worried they are evaluating execution impact which is not allowed.

Where the heck were the jurors when, during mitigation, the children were paraded in court to read their letters???????

Words fail!

Judge apologizes that defendant is gone, saying it is because of his own rush to get the question answered.

Lie.....

 

[YESorNO]

What is the jury thinking here, if I may ask?
The welfare of defendants children? She's not going home to take care of them- she's going to prison for years to come, whether it's death or life in prison.
What does this mean? Maybe I'm stupid.
