I need help to stay awake! I got up too early this morning and I have been falling asleep about this time in the evening. This has nothing to do with the falling today.

So I am going to get up and move around!

I just shut down the laptop for the past half hour to let it cool down and to wander around, I was getting bleary-eyed myself.

I just watched that (and the Red Wings 2nd period).
Had never heard about this before. Another horror, another life taken for absolutely no reason (and 2 teenage girls ruined 3 lives).

I also was posting all the transcripts for the phone calls on the Devault thread (Jewels posted the link to Trial Divas article about it, I wanted to put all the pages here though, to make it easier to read them).

Jury still at dinner?
I am getting loopy too, too many things going on I am over stimulated

Do we know if jury will deliberate Saturday if no decision is reached today?

 

[Nymeria]

Not sure about Saturdays Chelly.
Maybe one of the "Texas Crew" will know if they come back tonight

 

[Chelly]

Is anyone at courthouse tweeting during verdict watch?

 

[Softail]

Do we need to send out a search party?

:sos: :sos:

I think so. Last week, in the BD trial, they said they could deliberate as long as they needed, and could come back on Saturday. This is all new to me too, to see how Travis County works. :twocents:

Jury has questions and just ordered dinner. Bailiff says it will be at least 2 more hours. #PatelTrial

I am quoting myself because I posted this at 6:50 pm CST, so it has been about 2 hrs now.

The juror's started at 3:15 pm cst so 5 hrs 35 minutes?

Deliberations continue in #PatelTrial I'm live on @foxaustin at 9 with the latest.

OK Hannibal is on....so don't let the jury come back for an hour, OK?

TIA! :giggle:

 

[geevee]

I thought they'd be back no later than 7:00, including having eaten supper.

Commercial!

Jurors have been out nearly six hours in the capital murder trial of Shriya Patel. Update by @jazmineulloa: http://bit.ly/P9HTXw

No kidding.... me too! They cannot possibly be buying suicide right?
:banghead:

 

[Chelly]

Sitting here wondering if some jurors feel sympathy for PT.

I'm reading about bride burning in India. Apparently it is not uncommon for husbands to burn their unwanted wives to death and claim it as suicide. guess that is where she got the idea

Oh good grief. Thanks for reminder!

 

[Jewels53]

I fell asleep during the BD verdict and I don't want to on this one. lol
