Yes, but the jury won’t know the potential prison sentences and that’s so unfair!

Duly noted x5.

A benefit of following a trial like this is that we laymen get a look at some things we had no idea of. For me, I admire the precision that the law, at its best demands. I admire the presumption of innocence and the burden of proof.

The fact that penalties are not given to the jury is per the laws of the state of Florida. To quote MOM "It is what it is."

I wonder.....if any of the jurors thought to research what the penalties are for possible charges in this case, before they were actually picked for the jury. Let’s hope.
