I don't get it? What is the difference she still killed him! WTH

 

[geevee]

Now I really wonder what was 'inappropriate' with the no-show juror.

Quick OT.....Pistorius trial currently on HLN.. Interesting. But really really appreciate the US justice system.

Statesman Courts ‏@AustinCourts 4m
Arson is a first-degree offense, punishable by 5 to life in prison. Jurors given break until 1:30 pm before beginning punishment phase.

This verdict really makes no sense to me either.. her purchases sealed the fact that this was premeditated?!

How do you pour gasoline on someone, light them on fire and not be guilty of 1st degree murder? #PatelTrial

Exactly!

More info on missing juror: apparently there is an incident report with her name on it filed last night for "emotionally disturbed person."

Chris Sadeghi ‏@chrissadeghi 8m
@*** she is not missing.... Just not here. They apparently know their whereabouts.


Chris Sadeghi ‏@chrissadeghi 6m
Because of the arson conviction, there will be a punishment phase at 1:30pm.

Chris Sadeghi ‏@chrissadeghi 2m
5-99 years. RT @***: How much time is she facing?”

And we aren't in Flordia. Didn't expect this from Texas :banghead:

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

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

:dunno: If they did, then we can expect a light sentence. :scared:

 

[Softail]

I have to giggle at KVUE TV. :giggle: They are so behind, and just said they are expecting a verdict any minute! :doh:

 

[Jewels53]

And we aren't in Floria. Didn't expect this from Texas :banghead:

I expect to see a lenient sentence given to her. Probably the least possible with time served. Not what I want though. jmo

And we aren't in Floria. Didn't expect this from Texas :banghead:

Well, it is Austin. Very different than most of the rest of Texas.

:moo:

Jurors can give her life in prison.

 

[TigerBalm]

I lite him on fire, I thought he was a burglar.. :doh:

Don't mind me, I might be getting trials mixed up.

 

[TigerBalm]

Well, it is Austin. Very different than most of the rest of Texas.

:moo:

Yet a jury in Austin convicted Brandon Daniel last week to the death penalty.

:facepalm:

Yeah, and their volume was blaringly loud on the commercial but no sound in the courtroom. :facepalm:

I know.. and that blows my mind!!!!!!

 

[geevee]

I hope we'll get to hear from the jury on their reasoning for this verdict, I am really stunned.

 

[Jewels53]

I want to know how did that Emotionally disturbed person make it past Voir Dire?
