That's just how some folk deal wi' grievin'.
Just to give you all some local input. LOcal nbc 7/39 did a poll (which was then mimicked on a local radio sation) as to whether people believed the efense had raised reasonable doubt. In both polls, it ran about 65 (no)/35 (yes) percent. SHould be an interesting verdict.
I am wondering though. If say, this jury hangs...there will be a mistrial and and then a new trial. Suppose the second one is hung...how many times can the state retry?
