Judge says he would be on shaky ground redefining or interpreting. "It is what it is," up to jury to consider, he says #RoofTrial

Abigail Darlington ‏@A_Big_Gail 3m3 minutes ago
Gergel said not uncommon for him to tell jury in these instances, 'You just have to look at the charge' & "then they go back and workit out"

Chad K. Mills ‏@ChadKMills 1m1 minute ago
It doesn't sound like Judge Gergel will be giving the jurors concrete answers to their questions. @wis10 #DylannRoof #RoofTrial

The Post and Courier ‏@postandcourier 2m2 minutes ago
Judge Richard Gergel: "I don't think I should tell jury what it means ... I told them to apply their common sense." #RoofTrial

Chad K. Mills ‏@ChadKMills 2m2 minutes ago
Because he'd be defining terms and phrases that he didn't write. Bruck did. "You wrote it, Mr. Bruck," he says @wis10 #DylannRoof #RoofTrial

Sounds like the jury is considering LWP. (or is it LWOP?)

 

[Spellbound]

I wish to make an OT comment while there seems to be a break. Yes/No, your replay of what is happening with tweets is so helpful, especially when there is no live-streaming available. Having them all together instead of picking through multiple posts is incredibly valuable. I know it is a ,ot of work for you --- I have tried doing it occasionally, and it is not as easy as one might think.

And all you perps here ---- by keeping chit-chat to a minimum when tweets are coming in is has always been greatly appreciated. Chat away when we have breaks, but too much when tweet reports are coming can be a distraction for me. Everyone seems so good at keeping this flowing nicely. My thanks to everyone! Amazing cooperation, gang :tyou:

Jury asked judge to clarify 2 mitigating factors- judge told jury they have to interpret the charge for themselves, jury nodded. #RoofTrial

Life WITHOUT PAROLE

They will choose between two options for Roof: the death penalty, or a life prison term without the possibility of parole.
