More soon.

Hmm.. Now the plot begins to thicken a little.. Guilty, not guilty. hmm

GUILTY!...GUILTY!!...GUILTY!!! (at least I hope so

I have a bad feeling about this...he's walking is my prediction

Interesting to note... this comes after only a couple of hours of deliberating with the new jury. Could it mean the dismissed jurors were the holdouts on the other side???

I also believe he's gonna walk.. But I am one of the few "idiots" who believed he is not guilty.. But oh well

Ugh... I wish they would announce it now!

I'm on the edge myself. My gut says he did it. My head says they haven't proven guilt.

I think he's guilty as sin but I have my doubts that they proved it in court.

Doesn't a speedy verdict favor the prosecution? It means there wasn't a lot of bickering and debating any reasonable doubt and that all were certain he was guilty.

Then again, if something presented by the defense offered such undeniable doubt, they could have been quick to decide on "not guilty."

I'm hearing just the opposite that a quick verdict means not guilty. Meaning... you don't see man to his death or away for life "quickly"

The anticipation builds.

Hmmmm...thanks, Brent. And, darn!

I'm in my office, listening to Rush online, so that's my only source of incoming news right now.

Edit - Now that I think about it, I recall them saying that the judge said they would have a short day today and deliberations would end at 5 PM and resume on Monday. Maybe they dug in their heels and worked on it efficiently because they didn't want to wait another weekend and they were already ticked about having to start over because the previous two dismissals and the day off yesterday.

*shrugging shoulders*

It's all speculation. We'll know in about an hour or so, I guess.

Possible lesser charge is what some people are saying now. I.E. No death penalty.

2nd degree, right? That's what I thought. They said when that was introduced as an option, it hurt the defense because people who are against the death penalty but feel he's guilty, might select not guilty simply because they wouldn't want to see him put to death. But with Murder 2, they're more likely to say guilty when they believe he is.

Yes.

There's also the possibility he won't get death with a 1st degree murder conviction. We won't find out the sentence though(assuming it's guilty) today. They have to deliberate that too.

Yup.

*tapping fingers on desk* Is it 3 yet?
