I'd be wanting in there first thing to get it over and done with asap and back to my normal life
Sent from my 'alternate reality' using my hippocampus
Thanks MeeBee for posting that info and a very interesting read. I like the second paragraph from the bottom, it says so much that is true that should have been done a long time ago.
I know we can't quote blogs so I won't. I will say everyone should read it though!
From the trials I've watched so far, I've never seen a jury come in earlier or stay later than their regular trial time (except I think Joshua Young jury stayed late on night they delivered verdict). I think it's b/c the jurors have had to sit through the whole trial, and they feel like now it's their time (as it should be). They're not in a big hurry to get back to work because...well, who would be? And they've been with this group for a while not being able to talk about the case, so naturally they're gonna wanna take the time to discuss everything (again, as it should be).
Didn't the Zimmerman jury stay very late, as well? Well into the night, IIRC.
I can start walking and hitching a ride and I might make it in time for the verdict. :floorlaugh:
This is beyond ridiculous! Unless they are trying to stretch it out 'til Friday.
Actually I didn't follow that case! Kind of followed it here and there but didn't watch the whole thing. And I think I was out-of-town when verdict came in, but yes they probably did stay later.
The ones I've followed, the jury seems to take their sweet time. :scared:
I wish all juries would be sequestered for the deliberations and allowed to stay as long or come in as early as they wish. I can't imagine not wanting to get it over with and work as many hours as possible to reach a verdict.
But however long they take, I want more than anything not to have a hung jury, I'd be very surprised if it were tried again.
ETA: Duh moment, guess they wouldn't be 'coming in early' if they were sequestered. lol

Ah, I could have sworn I saw you over there (that was an interesting board lol).
Yeah I think the first day they requested to leave early. Then the next day, the deliberating lasted until something like 9, almost 10 o clock! Then they reached a verdict which was strangely not announced ahead of time to the media. Just that they were gathering for something. We thought it was another jury question then it was BAM verdict. lol...
I suppose they are taking a 1 1/2 hr lunch. I guess they don't care how long it takes and I guess we shouldn't either. Just hope they come back with a Guilty Verdict!
Yeah, no kidding, maybe they're afraid to ask if they can vary the schedule even a tiny bit.

if they take a 1.5 hour lunch my head will explode :floorlaugh:
LOL I wonder if they left the jury room for lunch? The tweets just say they're 'eating' or 'on' lunch. These tweeters need to get much more specific, it's the details (just looove Flores and his intonations).
Oh wow that must have been interesting! Whew. I've heard about those midnight verdicts and things, but never "experienced" them yet.
