I have to say, I think it's ridiculous that they are taking this long to decide the penalty.

Perhaps there are some serious disagreements between hardline DP supporters and others who prefer LW/OP because of Boyce's arguements about "lingering doubt"

I really can't understand why it's taking so long to come to a decision, I guess because I see either option as acceptable, since the DP is really LW/OP with endless appeals and special facilities.

Hey, did you hear what the jury foreman said wrt:those 2 boys in florida? The foreman said the jury was very confused....and had a terrible time understanding how they were suppose to arrive at their decision. (*I think* that's the gist of it)If I find an article about it, I will ping you. I hope this jury has no confusion.

I can't find quotes from the interview I saw on tv the past day or two.

forewoman Lynn Schwarz

Schwarz said the jurors thought the boys' recorded confessions were forced, rehearsed and unbelievable. Schwarz said the King jurors were aghast when they heard Chavis had been acquitted. "I was so shocked, I just couldn't believe it," said Schwarz, 52. She said the other jury "saw a different presentation and a different interpretation. It's too bad they couldn't have all been tried together. That might have been a fairer trial."

I thought you might want to read this while waiting for the jury. I'll try to check back in later.

I do not think Chavis should have been acquitted.
He is a true jerk pervert.....

"Apparently there is going to be a hearing at 9:15 to discuss the illness of a juror. I wonder if they will replace the juror with an alternate, or just cancel deliberations for today? "

[just me]

Not sure what is going on right now, dang it.... I have to go for awhile... I'll probably miss it... I'll check back here when i get back... thanks...

[just me]

I hear.. I guess I'll have to catch up when I get back.
I have to take a short break...

[Freedom2specul8]

Deliberations cancelled for today.
juror taken to hospital
If she doesn't get better, alternate may be used via drawing.
Won't know until tomorrow or next day..

Thanks for the update, Kim. I have been listening to the news about the heightened level of alert, so would have missed this.

[Freedom2specul8]

You're welcome. Do you think there should be this much publicity about alerts?

He may not have been picking strawberries those summers at Grampa's farm.

Or perhaps he was learning to pick cherries, instead?

Lord help them all..

[Freedom2specul8]

Why was #23 removed?

[just me]

I don't know. I had to go out yesteday..I didn't get back here to follow the thread.

[Freedom2specul8]

I guess you all know by now that the jury will be out until monday. Anyone have any more info, like what will happen if juror is still sick?
