NM - Tera Chavez, 26, found dead in her Los Lunas home, 22 Oct 2007 - #2

I wonder why the jury is not asking to see more items of evidence or asking more questions? I do not know what to make of this.

I went and read the trial diva's page on JM's next trial (July 31st), Richard Crisman, a bad cop who killed an unarmed man (and his nonviolent dog) in his home. Looks like it'll be a good trial, esp. since his partner is the one who turned him in and will probably testify against him. This should fill the hole nicely until the JA penalty retrial gets underway (if it ever does).

Geevee...any idea if it'll be televised, too? I'm still having JM withdrawals!

I wonder why they don't have all of the evidence back in the jury room to peruse as they wish? I saw this in the Abaroa trial too, having them parade past the evidence on a table as if it might influence them to be able to look it over while discussing the case. That's why the jury is there, to look only at the evidence in a case and decide from it, having it somewhere else and having to ask for specific pieces makes no sense to me.

Bye for now Verdict Watchers....keeping fingers crossed for a GUILTY VERDICT yet today!

Trial Divas say it'll be live streamed and they will carry it. Probably Wild and others will as well.

TDs will also be trial watchers on it, I wonder if KCL and others from WS will also go and report on it?

I don't either. It may mean they are very smart and don't need it--that the prosecution did a great job in explaining all of it. Or it may mean they don't understand it. I just hope it does not mean they don't care and don't want to have to fool with it. It's so difficult in reading an anonymous jury. At least with the CA jury, I kept notes during their pre-selection voir dire so when they were selected and their numbers were released I had a tiny feel of who they were because we were able to hear them answer the questions, etc.
I read on Twitter earlier that the last of the jurors had finally gotten there about 15 minutes ago and that was at 3:38 my time. Would have been 1:38 their time--so some were late getting there even with the late start. That bothered me a great deal too.

I took notes on the their pre-selection voir dire of the CA trial too. I wish I would have had known about this case in time to do that and who knows if it was covered. Florida is awesome on the trial coverage and your state is too. Also I was following the Seacat trial anyway and that is how I got here thanks to the coffee girl.

You make a good point.
In NC they can't even take evidence into the deliberation room. I think it's in case there is a hung jury or an appeal, the evidence must be preserved and by taking evidence into the jury room it gets handled, stuff may spill on it, etc. So I can understand it from that perspective.
I wish we'd hear something, anything.

I'm not sure the jury selection of this trial was aired. I got here by way of Coffee Girl and the Seacat trial too. As bad as this trial has been, I am so happy we were able to all watch it together....and moan and groan and ***** about Serna's shoes!

Darn, I said I wasn't going to just sit here all afternoon just waiting and waiting....and that's exactly what I'm doing.

O/T Cory Monteith update: 'Glee' actor died from heroin, alcohol'

This is so sad and so unnecessary.

I am now listening to the calm and soothing voice of Sarah Brightman. Christmas carols. Her beautiful voice really helps settle me down when I get upset or nervous.
I am ready for a verdict, we all are. 5 weeks of testimony and evidence but they are not asking to review anything. What in the heck are they doing. Gosh, if they have been discussing the bullets all afternoon we may be in for a long ride.

The translation is:
Zachary Levi I want one in my life can be my God thanks for nothing

Anybody figure it out?

No kidding, a full day yesterday and 3 hours today and they only wanted to see the bullets? Just gives me a weird, undefinable feeling.

Nope, I don't speak Spanish, have no clue what that means. Who is Zachary?

I don't know. Do we know what LC's full name is, could it be one of his names?

I just checked my blood sugar and it's 100 points higher than normal. I am going to get up and walk around a little bit in hopes it will drop. It's too darn hot outside to walk, 95 degrees, high humidity, so I'll walk around the kitchen table 500 times.
