It could be one juror not wanting acquittal. The others could be working one step at a time to get them to see the light. We don’t know. But I remain encouraged
Playing tricks on us the video comes in and goes out!
true, could be anything. but we know that at this point there’s at least one who doesn’t buy the self defense. a bit troubling for the defense.
the thing is the manslaughter instructions have nothing to do with self defense.
either you believe it was or you don’t.
it all comes down to “did the state prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he wasn’t acting in self defense.”
shouldn’t be that hard to determine after 3 weeks of a trial and 10 hours of deliberation.
I’d have had an answer within 5 seconds of deliberations starting.
