Greg I'm posting this to you just to bolster your opinion of DW guilt and expectation that the jury will return a guilty verdict.

I have just completed reading the days previous thread and followed the judges instruction to the jury and the prosecutions contentions about not having to prove how certain aspects of the crime was committed.

My take from what the judge's instructions were to the jury relating to if you find defendant guilty of kidnapping then you also have to find defendant guilty of murder. Or conversely if you find not guilty of kidnapping then you have to find not guilty on murder.

I also recall reading that the judge stated in some form or fashion that the finger print in the RV was sufficient proof of kidnapping.

So, I do think the jury could easily come to a guilty verdict on both kidnapping and murder based solely on the fingerprint and blood/DNA in the RV.

So do I. Just a ton of evidence against the guy. But I wouldn't be surprised if 1 or 2 jurors hang things up with a not guilty. I think Feldman is shooting for that. I think he realizes there is no chance at an acquittal.

I would like to believe that no American juror would blindly follow the idiotic statement of an authority figure in a black robe.
