Really? The murder trial I was on took 5-6 days and we deliberated for 2.5 days, and that’s because some people were pedantic and bored and wanted to hash things out. The guy was super guilty. And after the trial I googled him and found out this was actually a retrial for him- he’d already been found guilty once but got a retrial for some technicality a few years later. And we all knew from the start he’d be found guilty , some people just wanted to keep talking “to make sure”.


Yes, for people who love to talk imagine having a captive audience of 11 trapped in a room with you...!

I really don’t know what to think.



Any insight to share on age/demographics of the jury?



I’m not sure which jurors were dismissed last week, but from what I observed when I was there, the jury appeared fairly diverse. It included two Asian men; one young white woman; one older Black woman; one older Black man; one Black man in his 30s; one Hispanic woman; and one woman who appeared to be Hispanic or possibly Indian. The remaining jurors appeared to be white.

There is a lot of evidence in this case. Look, we're at 477 pages of discussion.

Unfortunately, there is no way to predict when they come back. It's a unique set of individuals and we have no idea how they are deliberating. Too many unknowns. Everything is a guess.

He submitted a bunch of letters showing how depressed she was in jail. There was testimony about some kind of health crisis/surgery she had. At that point she decided to flip and match her story to the evidence, according to the defense.


I hope the health crisis/surgery was a hysterectomy. I'm not ususally a mean person, but man she does not need to be able to have a child, ever.


gall bladder surgery.
