Well, That was fast after just seating the alternate juror. I though it would take a rehash, but apparently the alternate was already on same page as the other 11.

Weird. For those that don't know, 6th street is the "strip" so to speak in Austin. Lots of SXSW activities probably going on. It is a lot of bars and music venues.

OMG! Not Guilty! 1st degree murder!

GUILTY of Arson, causing death.

I don't understand the verdict.

So do they feel she purposely started the fire, but didn't intend to kill her husband?????

 

[Nymeria]

:waitasec:
They felt sorry for her....somehow....
Let them spend some time on a burn unit sometime....

 

[Chelly]

Lunch break until 1:30 p.m. Austin time. Penalty phase will commence after break.

I think jurors can give her something like anywhere from five years to life. Please correct me if I am wrong.

GUILTY of Arson, causing death.

Wow. What is potential sentence

 

[geevee]

I don't have any volume on kvue, really, not guilty of murder but guilty of the fire? How did they reason that one?

I don't understand the verdict.

I don't get it either. GUILTY of Arson Causing DEATH! WTF?

Makes me wonder if they bought the suicide crap! :dunno:
