***VERDICT WATCH*** Jimmy Rodgers Trial Thread (livestream) Days 1-11 2019.10.10-22

Makes me think we have a lot of 'individualists.' Hope they can get on the same page. They might be having a lot of internal disagreements in interpretation of testimony?

I think its easier for each juror to have a copy of the instructions instead of sharing one copy.

True. But that added to wanting the entire testimony of Taylor, makes me worried that there is a basic disagreement about what was or wasn't proven there. I hope I am wrong.

I'm thinking they are going back and forth on the premeditation of JR knowing about the murder beforehand.... or just going with CWW for robbery, or as accomplice but not intending on first degree.... I think the readback on Taylors testimony is that her attitude TO ME, changed with defense. I didn't watch it, just listen the first time, and she came off as 'snotty'.... WATCHING it though, i could tell she was scared in the beginning, so maybe that was it. But she was caught up in some lies and i think that makes you question her whole testimony unfortunately. ALL IMO

Defense rested without offering any evidence, but does seem a lot quicker than expected.

As we get later (we still could have a verdict today!!) it's notable that the defense once asked for sequestration. The judge has not mentioned it, so it's assumed the request was withdrawn. If the jurors want to go home, they likely won't be sequestered. #trialtweets

We are almost 6 hours of deliberations. This is crazy

Here's what I don't get. Even if the jury decided that JR was just going along for a robbery, since there was a murder during the commission of the robbery, isn't he then guilty of murder as well?

It is only after 4pm there, but think we will hear from them soon

It was an excellent trial to watch. You should catch up with the videos when you have time. This judge has been wonderful! Moved things along, quick rulings and didn't allow either side to bog the court down with a bunch of minutiae. Mark's is just around the corner.

 

[Oregonmama]

I want to get @AZlawyer 's thoughts on Taylor's testimony

 

[Arachne 1]

A picture's worth a million words. One of them is "Guilty".

 

[debbiegarcia36]

Murder 1 and conspiracy for sure. I'm on the fence about burglary, but guilty of trespassing too.

Nothing really matters past murder 1 and conspiracy, IMO.

I would say guilty of Murder 1 with premeditation (it only takes a second to premeditate) and guilty of both burglary and trespassing. I'm not sure exactly how the judge defined both but the below website states that:

"Burglary is typically defined as the unlawful entry into almost any structure (not just a home or business) with the intent to commit any crime inside (not just theft/larceny). ..No physical breaking and entering is required; the offender may simply trespass through an open door. Unlike robbery, which involves use of force or fear to obtain another person's property, there is usually no victim present during a burglary.

I'm going to do everyone a favor -
I have to run a quick errand. I am sure they will announce a verdict while I am gone. You're welcome.

I went out at that time too, so I thought the same thing!

What lies do you think she told?

Close to 6.5 hours. That’s how long the #JimmyRodgersTrial jury has been deliberating.

No notes or questions from them in the past 2.5 hours.

I think she was being deceitful about the California trip. Other than that, nothing specific. It bothered me she did a lot of the i dont' remembers for defense but had ALL the answers for Prosecutor. Just those little things. But if they bothered me, they probably bothered someone on the jury, because i KNOW how guilty JRR is and all the backstory... and they don't. To me he looked smug and just annoyingly 'smarmy'. But i know whats under that tie. They don't. I could see someone thinking he looked young and innocent and/or naive.
