Guilty, but protracted appeals and even more outlandish claims

amateur opinion and speculation

Won't be Innocent, should be Guilty, could be a Hung Jury if she managed to sway any jurors with sympathy.

Good morning from San Jose! We reporters are lined up to get into the courthouse. Jury should be here in about an hour. Will we get a verdict today?

 

[Niner]

So - guessing - since that was posted about 3 hours ago - the jurors showed up at 8:30am - and are deliberating. Guessing no questions from them either?

Thinking the same thing...

Your guess is as good as mine, Niner. I'm a tad disappointed there hasn't been more tweets.

Yes! Like, where is Elizabeth Holmes? Does she & her attorneys need to stay in the courtroom. Can they be in a hotel across the street and just come when called? Who or what else is happening? We need something even if to say no one is there and nothing is happening in view.

 

[LinasK]

Okay, now I understand why I'm confused: today- Tuesday is 12/21, not Monday. So has the jury left for the day, or was that yesterday?

 

[TheLoadedGoat]

Jurors are deliberating for a second day in the trial of Elizabeth Holmes.
Looks like they started at 8:30. If they do not decide today, they come back on Thursday. Then next week.

Elizabeth Holmes jury has sent a note to the court asking if they can take the jury instructions home “to review them at length.” This after 14 hours of deliberating — Judge Davila says he will tell them no, all deliberations must occur in the jury room.

Thanks for the "tags"!!

Here's an article for yesterday's deliberations.

SAN JOSE, Calif — After 14 hours of deliberations, jurors in Elizabeth Holmes’ criminal trial asked Judge Edward Davila on Tuesday if they could take instructions home for review.

Davila, who has presided over the three-month case, denied their request.

“Jurors may not take the instructions home to review,” Davila told the courtroom. “The court views that as engaging in deliberations. All deliberations must take place only in the jury deliberation room.”
[.....]
The jury is off tomorrow and is scheduled to resume deliberations Thursday [12/23/21] at 8:30 a.m. PT.

Holmes arrived at the San Jose courtroom on Tuesday with her attorneys, Lance Wade and Kevin Downey. Her parents and partner, Billy Evans, were also in attendance, sitting in the row behind her. Holmes embraced Evans just after Davila said they were dismissed for the day.

and that 14 hours of deliberations was actually UP TO 3:15pm - I see this tweet:

Elizabeth Holmes jury done deliberating for the day after nearly 8 hours. No verdict. Deliberations continue tomorrow morning.

So I'm going to go with ~8 hours for 12/21.
I take that back - that was for Monday's deliberations - so going to go with a total of 14 hours TOTAL for the week so far.

That would make it 7 hours of deliberations on Tuesday.
