GUILTY AZ - Dale Harrell, 34, beaten to death, Gilbert, 14 Jan 2009 #3

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.

No not you, the question was stupid.

 

[Worry Wart]

Lie.....

I wonder why she wasn't dressed? She had plenty of time. Oh maybe if there was a verdict it would be postponed until tomorrow.

It means, having your mother put to death in prison can hurt the children more than having your mother in prison.

Yep, she's already been convicted, what's the deal with striped pj's?

Well, this question is bad but not as bad the bear/tiger question in the JA trial. :scared:

Or one trial I watched and the jury wanted to know the definition of "unanimous". :floorlaugh:

I think they are concerned about the day she is actually put to death and the impact it will have on the children who will be fully grown adults by then.

Judge Steinle says that if jury comes back with life, he does not need another hearing to decide natural or chance of release after 25 yrs

Was it AZ?

If they didn't bring clothes for MD they apparently didn't expect a verdict today, or even a question.

Did he say that in presence of jury?

 

[Worry Wart]

Was it AZ?

I can't for the life of me remember which one it was but they did return with a guilty verdit.

 

[YESorNO]

Then their mother shouldn't have killed. There has to be very bad consequences for very bad deeds, IMO. Can't coddle the children, who won't be children by then, if she is put to death.

I think it's a safety issue back in the holding cell, she may try to hang herself.....
