A MOST excellent hypothetical.
I really thought the DELETED computer searches for “neck breaking” and “how to make chloroform” were compelling. Especially when her mother tried to cover for slutmom. The speed at which the jurors came back is no evidence of the strength of the case-—as others have said, you find her guilty, you sentence yourself to more in captivity time, for punishment phase. This highly unusual total sequestration bit is not working.
“11 hours for something like this indicates that the prosecution sucked. No matter what the folks on TV want you to think.”
Can I call your kids and give them another viewpoint?
