One of the media, Abrams?, who is reporting on this case says maybe we're looking at the delay and instructions wrong. All the items the jurors called for are related to premeditation. It was a very good dissertation.Some people, no matter what, will not opt for the death penalty but are likely not to admit it since it's in their mind...and we can't read minds. There might be all kinds of evidence but they can still conjure up accidental as an option. I think that is what Gregaros was counting on as his worst result....Life imprisonment. A hung jury would be his best result as he would not retry....Too risky. Too him, this is a notch in his legal career..Trying a capital case with a mother and an unborn. He'll be in the legal books forever.

I was a little worried yesterday up until it was reported that by the end of the day the Jurors were asking for more exhibits.
They are still working hard, and after all...there is 5 months worth of testimony to go thru.
Nancy said it best last night. In CA, unlike other states, the evidence does not automatically go back into the deliberation room with them, just their notes. It has to be requested.
And wouldn't it be so WRONG if they did NOT request any evidence to be reviewed??
