According to Yvetter Martinez's twitter, Jury ended lunch at 12:30, now deliberating again.

Jury is at lunch now. I may be away from my computer this afternoon, I may miss a verdict. I'm guessing that within an hour after lunch they arrive at a verdict. There may have been something good on the menu that the jury didnt want to miss.

I like your thinking!

And if they're staying on the usual schedule, they should be just returned from lunch... raying: If they worked through lunch, they must have been close to finished...

:yow: I'm a nervous wreck!

Jury should be ending their lunch hour about now. Who knows how much longer before we hear something

I gotta start refreshing these pages to stop posting echoes. :blush:

Edit: In looking at today's photos, I see that they have a link to buy them, so I'm removing the one I posted, just in case. I don't want to cross any copyright lines.

You can still see the photo at the link I had posted under it - It's the first one of the series, with Mr Christian holding his wife.

Tough pic to see. I can't help but feel so sorry for Mr. Newsom. Just a nice quiet old guy who worked hard in life and tried to do everything right. Then his boy is ripped from him and he is forced to enter the world of GuttaSlim and relive the pain and humiliation of his son. How unfair.

Do we know which station aired the footage that outraged Gary and Deena?

Just takes awhile to go thru all 36+ counts...
I predict when they return, it will go down something like this:
"Your honor, we the jury find the defendant, LD...
On Count 1: "GUILTY, nomsayn?"
As to Count 2: "GUILTY, as a +^()#@$"
Count 3: "GUILTY, seemsayn?"
Count 4: "GUILTY... you hear us?"
Count 5: "GUILTY, )@#%^*mit"
Count 6: "GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY...."
Counts 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19...
"...um, Your Honor, in the interest of time...
we find the defendant GUILTY on all 36+ counts,
We have just one question for the Court...
can we give him the DP more than once?"

Ok, sorry... :blushing: I'll try to be a good bird now...

"Awww, you tripping man!! you tripping. You dumb as 'ell!" Maybe they can just plug his chair in to an outlet there.

On a serious note, I think there is a real chance we could see some fireworks (no pun intended) if Slim is found guilty on all charges, esp the rape/murder of Chris. Slim my flip out.

Yes he is such a gentle kindly man, who can no longer even bring himself to enter his son's room filled w memories of their Tball and baseball years. There was no wrath or vengeance in this man when he took the stand, only deep heavy sorrow.

Yet the judge won't even allow pictures of the victims as children. Or let this poor father speak what's on his broken heart.

Still waiting. Meanwhile, I'm in a cubbyhole in court hallway where I can hear broadcast peeps recording themselves. Funny stuff

 

[PrairieWind]

Kiki, i think that is what gets me most about him, no overt anger, just overwhelming sadness. I have a little boy myself and I cant wait each day to get home from work to play with him and see what new things he's learned to do, what new words he can say. I absolutely cant imagine someday having him ripped away, not being able to say goodbye and then having to spend the rest of my life with memories of him.

 

[kiki the parrot]

I hope he does... ("y'all stupid as #ell!") and someone tazers him before they put him in restraints. Oh that's right... I said I'd be good didn't I? :blush:

Nope. I have four children and my mind can't go there either friend. Nor can I fault any parent for ANY emotions they may feel under these horrific facts and circumstances, nor however much time that takes. I do pray Gary can one day find some peace after the sentencing. He still has a son who needs his father who's for two years been understandably focused on the loss of his daughter and seeking justice. But better to be broken than forever embittered or consumed w hatred. Praying for the parents and families, they all need our prayers. rayer:

I just viewed the video of the Christian's address to the media. I feel so bad for these two parents. It is disgusting to have to defend your daughter due to these defense attorney's slaughter of her reputation.:furious:
