It's after 5:00 there now.

Luckily I edited my post as I noticed a couple of posts says Jury going home. So, I'll see you Monday . Have a good weekend.

*hugs iamshadow21* This case has been emotionally exhausting. We just want Gannon to get justice and for Letecia to be held accountable.

Well they will have all weekend to think about things. My hubby will be happy I’m not on verdict watch all night lol.

After watching the same trial that they have I am baffled as to why ANYBODY would need longer than 4 hours to reach a verdict.

I reckon it's one juror holding out on something stupid that just needs more clarification... Or that's what I'm hoping.

If they don't come back with guilty on all counts by 10am Monday, every bit of faith in people that I have will be lost.

Gannon's poor family having a weekend of hell. Lie bag will be relishing in it.

We have waited years for justice for Gannon, a few more days of waiting will be nothing. moo

I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with myself for the next couple of days.

I want them to be thorough, to do it right, but I'm struggling with the suspended nature of this.

Have faith!

 

[Tealgrove]

Wow!

 

[PawneeDew]

I was so sure there would be a verdict!

I’m trying my best to not think back to the Parkland Shooter’s trial, where one juror holding out meant that the perp escaped the death penalty; a result that was devastating to all the family of the many victims in Parkland.

I’m thinking the same here, but instead of a juror not willing to commit to something as extreme as the death penalty, it’s somebody who finds what Tecia did to be so insane and so ridiculous that they can’t see anything other than her being mentally ill. Hopefully we’re all wrong and the jury are just being mega thorough and not wanting to rush such a decision but it’s still shocking to me that this hasn’t been the slam dunk, in and out so many people expected it to be.

Edited to add a positive note: Evidence against Darrell Brooks was extremely overwhelming (and the defence obviously horrendous) but that trial still took the jurors into the next court day to submit their decision. So there’s precedent that provides hope as well as precedent that provides gloom. Have a safe and peaceful weekend everybody, justice is coming.

Well just dang. It's gunna be a long time till Monday ,but at least they are taking there time being thorough.hopefully it's not just that one juror syndrome. Jmoo I got faith they will get it right

 

[Gardenista]

Hopefully they've decided, but wanted to think about it over the weekend. That would not be unusual.

Patrick Frazee was 12 hours or about and get was found guilty and was hit with 156 years...

Unless I dissociated I could have sworn it was like maybe 3 hours ~

(Source: I was there)

Haha


Very surprised with no verdict. Like, very very surprised.

Letecia's own attorneys probably surprised.

 

[Turkeytrot]

Feeling a little sick. I hope they are just tired (I'm sure they are) and that we will get the verdict we're all wishing for on Monday.

That's right. In the Mcstay trial I think there was a dark day and holiday during deliberations. So we had to wait four days, Iirc. That was torture! But Charles Merritt was found guilty. And received Death.

Letecia really does have the psychopathic stare. Note, not the sociopathic stare. Big difference.
It’s eerie.

moo ymmv jmvho

Can you say more about that? I know it's near impossible to describe people's gazes in this context. What I notice in her mug shots and in some of hear day-to-day trial footage, is that her eyes seem flat (locked into a particular position) and her face is quite impassive for someone in so much trouble.

But, I have never heard anyone say that a psychopath (multiple DSM diagnoses, Imo, must include Dark Triad) from a sociopath (AntisocialPD). I think I know what you're talking about. I was just looking at some mug shots from another case and felt as if one person had very different expressions/micro-expressions in each eye). I had a prof who thought that the right brain showed up in the left eye (so fear can show up in that eye even if the other eye is looking defiant).

There is something really strange (almost as if it's mostly autonomic functioning) in T's eyes. I don't want to lead you to any further conclusions - but I think there's something missing from her eye expressions.

IMO.

I swear that I have some kind of PTSD over the Anthony verdict. Lost all confidence in juries when the case involves a child murdered by a young mom/stepmom/girlfriend. Always a squish or two, etc. who feels sympathy.
grrrrrrrrr

OMG yall! I can't believe there's no verdict on a Friday night before the weekend! What could possibly be perplexing!?
