At this rate, we might not get a verdict in this case by Christmas. :waiting:

#BobBashara out sick, and jury had a question so now court ia adjourned for the day until tomorrow at 10 @FOX2News

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Maybe Bob's channeling Jodi Arias with a migraine or a cold sore :angel:

 

[Chelly]

Oh for heaven's sake!:tantrum:

^ :waitasec: Judge Evans said that she expects a verdict by Wednesday. Transcripts on Thursday would be a day late and a dollar short

How can a judge say when she expects a verdict? Highly unusual

 

[Spellbound]

According to the TV News, there will be no deliberations tomorrow. Bob is in the hospital and will be getting undisclosed tests. May be there at least a couple days.

Doesn't sound like there will be a verdict before Christmas or even by January 1. If Bob's in the hospital for a few days, there probably won't be deliberations for the remainder of this week. Next week, there will likely be a break for the holiday - no court on 24th, 25th, and possibly the 26th. Same for the following week (New Year's). Who knows how long this could drag on :dunno:

Big Bad Bob's trying to whittle down the jury, perhaps?

From WWJ this morning. It's confirmed --- this latest delay COULD cause a mistrial. I'll be interested to hear what his attorney has to say after she visits him in the hospital today as she claims she would. Jane's family and friends must be beside themselves.

Channel 4 WDIV TV-news reporting Bashara is out of the hospital, deliberations back on for tomorrow!

This underhanded maneuver disgusts me. Drag him out of that hospital and stick him back in the courtroom ASAP!

Edit...Looks like my prayers were answered. He's been released and court resumes tomorrow.

Thank you for this Spellbound. I was getting myself really worked up over his hospital-stunt.
