if you had not just seen this with your own eyes....could you splain what you say to another and MAKE EM ‘believe it ??????
Good grief!
Recording it now so I can watch defense lawyers on Hannity. Sorry I missed that....lol.
I agree. Literally, biblically, possessed.
She seems to have a notion that that was some sort of bad action that set events spiraling.
It was Martins assault that did that.
>>>>jury not getting her and Trayvon because of generation gap.<<<<
Gen gap?! Cultural, moral, and educational gap maybe.
Indeed it is. Is this supposed to redemption for getting ass kicking he got from Robert Zimmerman?
Haiti.
>>>>provin how Godless CNN is<<<<
As if we needed any more proof LOL
They’re terrific ..and I think they’ve both learned a lot from this case.
I believe she egged on Martin the whole time during the cell phone conversations to confront Zimmerman.
LOL! !!
Huh? the part about being a pathological liar was stricken not the part about him saying he thought GZ was being truthful. It was fine for her to consider that statement from the lead investigator about GZ being truthful.
“improper deliberation may open that door”
Actually, they could claim they all got drunk and picked a result out of a hat, and it probably would stick. What goes on in a jury room is deliberately kept inviolate, because otherwise EVERY verdict could be overturned a year or two later by a jury member claiming something. Apart from bribery or threat of force, jurors can do pretty much what they want once deliberations start. There have been cases where jurors reported drunkeness and drug use during deliberations, and the verdict stood.
Just did a walk-thru of the house and couldn’t find the book on evidence where I read that last month, so I cannot cite any cases. Here is an example from Texas that I found on a quick Internet search:
“Texas jury verdicts are a lot like Las Vegas. Even the law recognizes that what happens in the jury room needs to stay in the jury room.
With one exception (the “outside influence” exception), Texas Rules of Evidence 606 expressly prohibits jurors from testifying, either live or by affidavit, as to any matters that occurred during deliberations. In practical terms, this rule means that after the last argument is made and the door closes behind the twelfth juror entering the jury room, most anything that jurors say or do from that point until the verdict is returned to the courtroom is protected from disclosure. Whether jurors speculated as to liability insurance, tossed coins, drew straws, or conducted themselves in any other manner prohibited by law during deliberations, the only eye-witnesses who could testify about it are expressly prohibited from doing so.”

This is from Florida...guess a lottery WOULD invalidate the verdict :>)
“In addition to misconduct which is considered extrinsic to the verdict, a special category of misconduct exists for verdicts determined by aggregation and average (quotient verdicts), by lot or game of chance, or other artifice. Verdicts determined in this manner are uniformly set aside.[5] Other forms of misconduct have generated litigation over the impact of the alleged misconduct on the fair and impartial administration of justice. One of the tenets of a fair trial is that the jury should consider only evidence or information received in the courtroom...Unless the allegations of misconduct included consideration of information not received in court, or there has been improper contact with members of the jury during the course of the trial or deliberations, the courts have been loath to consider requests to set aside verdicts, despite indications of irregularities, misunderstandings, and errors in the determination of the verdict.[7]”
“...she said 3 intially voted for guilty.”
Other way around. She said initially 3 voted to acquit.
That’s the juror, waiting for Jeantel to be posted
WOW, that was quick. Thanks!
Ask Paula D about that.
