We the Jury! Deliberations

[fifteen89]

I'll put a call in to the judge and tell him to drag his feet.........


:floorlaugh:

With this Judge, you better make that just a portion of one foot. Not both.

I think in the Jason Young trial they went to lunch and then comeback with a verdict. If I'm remembering correctly...

The JY jury got the case on a Friday mid-morning and returned their verdict the following Tuesday, about an hour or 2 before lunch.

One of the talking heads was discussing at one point how Jurors tend to come back after a lunch hour. I was pondering the "why" of that. May sound corny but just my personal view. These people have been thrown together into an extraordinary circumstance that nobody else can completely understand. Not Family. Not friends. Especially in a high Profile case. Knowing myself I think once we reached a Verdict I would want to spend a bit of time with fellow Jurors. If it was a cohesive Jury. Just time to say goodbye and orient myself to the onslaught awaiting after the Verdict announced. Just some random pondering.

If the jury doesn't come back with a verdict after lunch I am going to start worrying. I don't want them to start over analyzing everything. I know they have a lot to discuss and look at, but there should be some sort of general consensus by now unless someone or more than one is holding out.

I'm getting sceered, ya'll!

SWIMMING WITH THE SHARK
Insight from Drew Peterson defense lawyer Joseph R. Lopez

http://blogs.suntimes.com/lopez/2012/09/closing_arguments_the_final_cut.html#.UEiTm6_LC5k.twitter

Excerpt:

We arrived to court Tuesday with a throng of reporters waiting in the parking lot. Immediately, as we hooked in our MacBook, we had problems. It would not communicate with the overhead projector in the courtroom, and panic kicked in. Now what? We emailed the presentation to a Windows laptop of our colleague. The presentation was reconfigured. OMG!! The state was just starting its case. Like a surgeon, Lisa quickly went to work trying to salvage it. She had to type with the screen halfway closed, to keep it concealed from the sketch artists and the gallery. Voila! She finished and ran spell check -- another disaster, some words were misspelled as I stood at the podium launching into my attack displaying one slide after another using references to "Pulp Fiction", "King of the Hill", the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland, the Hollywood sign, a photo of Larry the Cable Guy and a picture of a Starbucks. The presentation was well received by the jury, and they were able to read along as I argued one slide at a time for 2 hours and 20 minutes. It was effective as it kept their attention.

B&UBM

Bolded = agree
Underlined = not so much

Can anyone explain to me what "Pulp Fiction", "King of the Hill", the Cheshire Cat from "Alice in Wonderland, the Hollywood sign, a photo of Larry the Cable Guy and a picture of a Starbucks had to do with DP killing Kathleen?

I could see a verdict happening this afternoon. I could also envision them going until tomorrow (Fri) after lunch. A jury that stays out a bit longer seems to have their verdict accepted more by the opposing side. If a jury comes back quickly (say, in less than 7 hours), sometimes there will be complaints about the jury not taking their jobs seriously and rushing because they just want to get home. Of course perception is always a variable thing. If a jury takes "too long" (whatever amount of time that is), that's not considered good either.

either way everyone has to accept it no matter how long or short of a time it takes.

(it has taken me over a year to accept the CA verdict):jail:

my gosh! I think the cat in your avatar may need a shot of something! :lol:

It's pick your dose day. 0.25, 0.5, 1 or 2mg.

I hear what you are saying. Too much information can bog one down for sure. It really is a simple case. Domestic abuse that continued when the couple parted. He threatened to kill her. She told others. And he followed thru.

 

[Madeleine74]

Oh are you a "cat whisperer" Nurse? ;-D My cat has an attitude. Maybe I can get you to give her a stern talking to. Me she kind of ignores. Frankly I don't blame her!

I truly believe the jury will come to the right verdict. I'm going to hold out hope on this. I got super burned by the OJ Simpson case (yeah, took me 10+ years to get over that one...heck I might still not be over it). And while I didn't follow the CA trial as closely as many, I felt the pain on that one too. Still, I will put aside my extreme cynicism and give this jury the benefit.

I'll take the 2mg., Mama-cita, no matter what the cost.

Yes and unfortunately if he is found NG there will be another young,naive girl in his life despite his reputation:banghead:

If, if, if he is convicted & goes to jail (!!!), how long will it be before he has those special admirers that these type guys seem to attract?? How long will it be before he selects that "special one" and marries? If, if, if -- I am here to say I believe this 5th marriage will happen.

Maybe it's all the references to Jason Young's trial, but this just made me think of Judge Stephens' remarks at his sentencing. None of Kathleen's friends are surprised she ended up dead AND that she was killed in a way that was mistaken for an accident.
