Pre-trial I argued against you and others that GZ was guilty of manslaughter.

Today I say it shouldn't take longer than the end of business today to come back with a Not Guilty verdict.

We've watched this trial from the beginning to the end; the State did not have a case. They relied, from beginning to the end, solely on emotion and "common sense." We heard BDLR say yesterday that common sense was more highly regarded and sought for by the Pros than the evidence and the law. John Guy continued that appeal in his close today.

The fact they want the Jury to issue a verdict based on emotion and common sense instead of the law and the evidence says all we need to know.

I'm completely biased for GZ, so I honestly don't know what these 6 ladies will do. I would highly doubt they will take longer than the end of the business day today. I cannot imagine they will allow themselves to be sequestered over another weekend.

If the Judge takes 30 min to give the instructions, that gives the Jury 3 hours to 5:30pm when they typically finished during the trial.

Any lurkers out there who haven't commented care to speculate as to how long it will take the Jury? What are your thoughts on the trial?

Well, I'm not a lurker who has not commented; however, I do think that John Guy was very effective [emotionally] and with this jury being all women/mothers... I'm a little worried. I pray they can set their emotions aside and look at the evidence presented. As an outsider, who is obviously biased in GZ's favor, I thought much of Guy's presentation was laughable. BUT, it was pure emotion and that can be a problem.

It makes me a little angry that TM was presented as a "little boy" and an "innocent child."

Think they'll stop today, remain sequestered over the weekend and come back Monday to deliberate more?

[KWSS1976]

No, I don't think it will be today myself.

I'm pretty sure deliberations go through the weekend; so they would come back tomorrow and Sunday as well, I believe.

Working the weekend depends on the Judge or the Jury. I really don't know how to predict this Jury. Personally, watching the trial from beginning to end, I don't see it going very long.

Me too. Depending on how far a walk it is to the deliberation room.

They have to select a forewoman, so that will take a couple minutes. After that, from what I've heard and what we did when I was on a Jury, there's a test vote before deliberation begins. Depending on the results, the evidence is reviewed and more votes are taken.

Females are by nature susceptible to the appeal to emotion and common sense that BDLR and Guy used. Hopefully they don't allow their inner mother to overrule the evidence and the law.
