There really is a big difference between northeastern culture and that further south. Three days to conclude that this scum needs to meet his maker?
I don’t expect that it would take a Virginia jury long at all to recommend death in a case such as this. Go to the deep south and it would take them about a half an hour. 20 minutes of which would be spent getting coffee and donuts and talking football.
The jurors know their liberal friends will turn them every way but loose if they vote to fry somebody.
This dude is so bad that apparently he is the very rare exception.
I spoke to a very liberal government employee from near Hartford about this the other day and he wanted this guy dead.
In Texas, it would probably take 3 hours.
Shortest jury verdict I ever saw WAS 20 minutes. Plea of insanity in a murder case. Took them more time to get to the jury room and back than it took to reach a verdict.
