Thanks Spec. So, we have not hit the 3 day mark yet. I don't know if that is good or bad. That darn CTV this morning was already discussing the punishment phase as if he's already found guilty.

If CTV has staked out the wrong mine and DW is found not guilty, they will over the next few weeks and months lose many of their audience, as folks hate to have their heads so twisted for naught. That lost audience wont't return for years even if CTV changes its format back to basics. JMO.

I think we are heading only on 10 hours of deliberation. I haven't been able to track down the little "over three days" actual number of hours the Skakel Jury deliberated, tho.

LOL about CTV. They were predisposed convicting DW before the trial began. From the information available to the general public, ASK the man on the street what he thinks, someone who doesn't KNOW the facts as we do..they will say "guilty".

The Jury is under a tremendous amount of public pressure and that is troubling to me.

I am keenly aware of the good arguments presented on DW's behalf on this forum, but the Jury isn't hearing them, another troubling aspect of the eventual verdict consideration.

The Jury has no sanctuary that offers them support if they come in with a Not Guilty verdict.

The best I can see for DW is a "hung Jury". I'm preparing myself.
