I was relieved to learn that Bob Bashara has been discharged from the Detroit Receiving. I sincerely hope that his "illness" wasn't feigned and that he had a legitimate reason for being hospitalized. I urge the jury to work diligently over the next two days to render a verdict without further delays. :praying:

Are jurors getting paid for ^^ those kind of days, I suppose (... and hope)?

Not sure about per diem jury pay, but they probably would be reimbursed for travel. :moo:

Dark, I've sat on 3 trials. We never were paid for dark days. IIRC, $25/day for duty. Which at the time, I was paid full salary at my job minus what I received for jury duty.

Not sure about per diem jury pay, but they probably would be reimbursed for travel. :moo:

Bette, Mileage and meals were on my own, and filed such on federal tax returns for such without direct reimbursement. Parking was/is in a major metro area. To park close, had to pay on our own (again, would be able to put on taxes). Yet we had the ability to park 3 miles away in a sports stadium parking lot which we were shuttled to and fro for cases for free.

Dark, how much did YOU pay when you went to the case?

Above may not be relevant to this case...just inputting my experience.

I will be out of the house for several hours today but will have WWJ radio on in my car. I hope there's a verdict today, or tomorrow, at the latest. No more delays!

Justice for Jane! :praying:

Jury at lunch until 1:15. I believe I heard they will deliberate until 3 pm today -- can't find a link
A lot of shouting from the jury room, and several questions this morning.

The jury in #bobbashara case has a note, just minutes after entering the jury room

George Hunter @GeorgeHunter_DN · 2h 2 hours ago
Judge is on the bench for #bobbashara . She said, "It's my understanding this is something you both have agreed to." Both sides agreed

Bob just walked in. Judge asked how he was. Bob answered: "Better than I was but still not 100%." He looks a little pale.

The judge is speed-reading, in a low voice the jury's questions and her answers. I can hardly make out a word she's saying.

Judge said she won't give 2nd degree murder instructions. Juror's 2nd note asked to provide the diff between any doubt and reasonable doubt

Court is in recess as jurors continue deliberating.

Just heard some yelling in the #bobbashara jury room.

Sounds like jury has a lot of work to do.

Jurors are back to deliberations. They seemed jovial with each other in the hallway, so perhaps there won't be any more arguing.

Sorry ... I didn't go to any case ... -- not to this one, not to any other one.

Heard the news on WWJ radio as I was driving home (been gone since 10:00 this morning). I am glad to hear there's a verdict and no further delays. Fingers crossed...
