commentator on KFAA makes an excellent point...if they give her a pass based on castle doc. well all the housing projects where every house looks like every other house it will be the wild west...oh I thought it was my house!!

 

[BeachSky]

questions were on
-Manslaughter
-Castle Doctrine

 

[VAgirlatheart]

The lawyer talking said the jury wanted to know the clear definition of manslaughter.

And I heard they wanted a legal def for castle doctrine too

 

[VAgirlatheart]

Makes me sick on my stomach. I can’t see all of them agreeing to that.

Remember only one can hold out for a mistrial so I’m hoping for atleast Manslaughter

 

[turaj]

so judge will not give them more ...they are already confused...now left to go back and this will depend on whichever jurors can prevail in 'THEIR' interpretation of those terms. Once again instructions in the hands of lay persons could give the defendant a clear advantage. Until the time time either we use professional juries or some means to give clearer instructions not in legalize...well I am preparing now to be very disappointed.

People are going to be disappointed if she does not get convicted for muder.

I take this as a sign they are fast getting to the root of this case. JMO

 

[VAgirlatheart]

wow they want a definition of manslaughter and more clear info on castle doctrine. The allowing of that castle doctrine is going to mean those of us for murder are going to be disappointed. I can already feel it.

I guess I would be the one that would throw it into a mistrial bc you couldn’t get me to change my mind to self defense at all. I’m riding out to the end.

me too!

I so often feel for these people that come from other countries where justice is sometimes very elusive and live good lives here in US only to have this happen and potentially not get justice here either. Mr Jean was an extraordinary young man who was working in a great job for a very highly regarded firm...a job many would want but few can get...doing nothing but sitting in his apartment. And while the light is on the South Side Flats right now...this is the way millions of apartments in our country are being built...every floor and apt. look the same and subtle lighting means cues can be missed.

This and "stand your ground" should make people feel really safe!!!

 

[turaj]

Boy not a great time for Court TV to go down?

Amber Guyger Trial: Jury sent out two questions. They wanted a clarification on the definition of manslaughter and more information on the Castle Doctrine which is a stand your ground type law in Texas. The judge told them to rely on the evidence that had already been given.

 

[Medstudies]

me too!

me three. I would be unwavering on anything but murder

I hope I’m wrong but sensing a hung jury

I hope I’m wrong but sensing a hung jury

That may be our BEST hope at this point.

 

[VAgirlatheart]

I’m hoping the note means that a majority thought murder but there was one that thought it could have been a mistake, so they are trying to get that one person to atleast go with manslaughter.. positive thinking atleast.

 

[sloane7777]

light!

 

[Rocco]

light on again
