So I will not post my info - yet... and I have found no recent articles on this case.

 

[Niner]

I'm "thinking" the jury is starting/started deliberations yesterday, since the Defense presented their evidence. Found no recent articles, so who knows!

@Niner

This was published yesterday:

Competing arguments at trial over who raped and killed Robin Brooks 42 years ago

"Nearly 42 years after Robin Brooks was raped and stabbed to death in her Sacramento apartment, a prosecutor urged a jury Thursday to convict her former neighbor, Phillip Lee Wilson, of murder, calling him a “predator” who had raped another woman three weeks earlier and got away with the crimes for decades.

[...]

Wilson, who has been in custody since his April 2020 arrest and whose 73rd birthday is next Wednesday, sat silently in a wheelchair as Carr outlined the evidence that he says proves Wilson’s guilt: his blood on the walls of the 20-year-old Brooks’ Rosemont apartment, his DNA inside her, his fingerprints on her apartment windowsill and his initial claims to detectives after his arrest that he never went inside her apartment and never had sex with her."

There is more at the link. If you can't access it, let me know!

Thank you - and yes - I can not access this article. Here's what I would like to know:
So - closing arguments were on Thursday? What is the DA full name & the defense attorney who gave closing?
Does it give a breakdown of the jurors? men vs women?

I changed my notes & put defense still presenting its case on 3/1 & 3/2. Then closing on 3/3 with jury starting deliberations.

TIA!

Yes, the closing arguments were on Thursday. The Deputy District Attorney prosecuting the case is Timothy Carr. The Assistant Public Defender is Thomas Clinkenbeard.

I was able to access previous articles from the Sacramento Bee regarding the trial, but unfortunately I can't find anything regarding the breakdown of the jurors.

Let me know if you need any additional info.

This is good! I "assume" the jury started their deliberations yesterday - or is it today? Did the article say?
Again - TIA!

The article didn't say, as it only mentioned the closing arguments. A journalist on Twitter didn't mention it in her tweets either. This makes me think that the jury will start their deliberations today, but I'm not sure.

Okay - I will go with that - start deliberations today - unless we hear otherwise!
And again - Thanks a bunch for your help on this case!

 

[Niner]

Even though I have a note that court is not in session on Fridays - I'll go ahead & post this anyway - JUST in case the Judge lets the jury deliberate today. I'll correct anything on Monday.

Looks like the jurors were in on 3/4/22 - still not finding anything recent on the case. I'll check on Monday 3/7 to see if they have that date in the "Future Hearings".
