MOM asked for recess. Judge asked jury if they wanted one.
They said no.
IMO, they have made up their minds already.

I remember being on jury duty and not being allowed to talk about the case until we were released to deliberate. I can imagine this jury, when they are released, as soon as the door closes, all laughing about how the hell this ever made it to court. Except they probably won’t be laughing.
And imagine the holdout’s response. I remember that in one case I wanted an immediate vote so we could send a message to the ambulance chasing plaintif, but a few wanted to be “absolutely sure”. Same will happen here.
Nevertheless, if there are a couple who want to find guilty, imagine the grief they will get from the rest of the jurors. It will be pathetic if they cling to guilty.
The OJ Simpson TRIAL was 11 months long. The jury was sequestered. The deliberated [IIRC] 3 hours because they wanted to go home.
Fiasco!
I agree....They do not want another weekend there. The state has no case.
Agreed. They also had this same urgency to completion at the close of the prosecution's case before the first defense witness had been called. That would indicate to me that they had already decided on not-guilty (without hearing from the defense) because of the weakness of the prosecution's case. Either that, or the fix is in.
