One additional note. The very fact that the jury is digging into the evidence and the law is a great positive for the defense.

The prosecution was essentially advising the jury to ignore the law and the evidence and decide on "heart" (i.e. emotion).

If the jury is trying to tie the evidence to the applicable law...game over (I hope and pray).

Rooster, as MOM was responding to the law re read back, I sensed a positivity in his voice and response and the opposite from mantei. While citing CL he seemed nervous and ended with it should just be thrown back as a general.

Yes, I thought that, too. All that is needed for a hung jury is ONE juror who will "stand her ground" and "stick to her guns" on self-defense.

Hopefully all six realize it's obviously self-defense, of course.

Yup.
