Yeah a quick verdict is usually a good sign for the defense, and a long deliberation a bad sign. However in this case its not surprising they would take their time since although its very obvious Kyle is innocent, the jurors themselves may fear the rage mobs that decided to attack Kyle if they find him innocent...particularly if they appear to have done so quickly. My guess is it will be a hung jury with some afraid to covict and others refusing to condemn an innocent kid. Further I suspect the case will then be declared a mistrial with prejudice due to the misconduct by the prosecutors.
“its very obvious Kyle is innocent,”
I’m not following this closely but is there clear evidence that each person shot was shot in self defense?
Well, actually, maybe my question should be is there clear evidence that it wasn’t self defense.
Here is what the judge could do to clarify things for everyone.
Call the jury in. Poll them. He’ll see that it’s 10 votes for not guilty, 2 votes for guilty [on most counts].
So the judge could issue a mistrial for the 2 most serious charges due to hung jury. And a second case of mistrial with prejudice on the lower cases due to prosecutorial misconduct, egregious conduct by the MSM, threats to the jury, and the need for sequestering. He could censure the prosecution for misconduct. Everyone is on notice to behave properly for the next trial, and he could even set the bail at $10 with his own issued opinion that he thinks the defendant is innocent [thereby recusing himself as the future judge]. It becomes a do-over for only the highest stakes and the best conduct of all involved.
