My prediction for the outcome, by this jury:

Not Guilty, 10 percent
Guilty, 30 percent
Hung Jury, 60 percent

Anyone care to make their own predictions? I'm not asking you what you think the outcome SHOULD be, but what it WILL be. (At this stage, the evidence, rumors and speculations have been hashed and re-hashed ad infinitum).

My best guess is a hung jury. From what I can see,there's enough reasonable doubt to vote for an acquittal,but that's my perspective,and I'm not on the jury. I think that a potentially very important factor that's not been brought up very much in these threads is that the San Diego Police Department(or elements of the SDPD)seems to have a less than great reputation,and that will very likely affect,or color some perceptions of some of the jurors. I know that the subject has been brought up here on FR,but what I'm in no position to do is to make any sort of prediction on how that will or won't affect the jurors' debating.

I'm afraid I agree with you. I see a hung jury or possibly a guilty verdict - I just have a feeling.

Probably a hung jury. There might be some who saw the bloodstains or the porn and decided guilty. People of that mindset are not easily swayed. There may be some like me who saw reasonable doubt and now see not guilty. The evidence has been presented (well, as much as Mudd would allow) and nothing convinced me of his guilt. If the evidence and testimony didn't convince me, I don't think another juror's opinion would.

Personally, I think it would be very difficult to change the mind of a person who has already seen reasonable doubt.

I'll have to agree with you, but swap the guilty/not guilty.

Not guilty 30%
Guilty 10%
Hung jury 60%

I say 'not guilty.'

The jury already displayed it's independence and good sense by deciding to meet on Fridays. That was a direct snub to Judge Mudd, Feldman's biggest nemesis.

There are a couple of engineers on the jury, IIRC, and they will sympathize with DW, as so many of us hane, once we saw the evidence.

I would bet that a few rational minds would be able to convince the rest that Dusek did indeed need to prove the kidnapping, and there is no path from DW to poor, dead, Danielle.

Let's hope they pic up on the drycleaners miss that folks caught on to here only yesterday.
