I didn't watch bt read on courtv message board that evidence the jury requested was the pic of the laundry basket with Laci's top in it. Is that true?
It was the juror who is a MD/JD that was chosen as foreman right? He wasn't the one that hung out with Falconer was he? They're all worried because they think he'll strictly interpret the law. But even by doing so i still think they can come to the conclusion of first degree murder. Too many premeditation factors can't be explained reasonably away. The "my wife is dead, first holidays w/o her", the cement anchors, and more that you might think of. They may say that buying the boat can be reasonable but if they think of the kind of person he is (high living) they could conclude that boat was not high class enough for him. So let's all pray that the other 11 jurors keep that guy in line. One other thing, Geragos did lie to them and try to manipulate them and nobody likes that, not even a lawyer can get around that.
Sorry, post 141 was written before I had finished my first cup of coffee. Just asking if anyone who watched LKL knows if it WAS said that the evidence they asked for was the pic of the laundry basket with Laci's top in it? As for jMD/JD juror, I think he was the REPLACEMENT for Falconer. I have thought about him "strictly interpreting" the law also, BUT maybe it will help in that he can explain that circumstantial evidence IS evidence and can help put it all together for any hold-outs. Also, the fact that he is a MD could help with baby Connor and the born alive theory......meconium still in the bowel. I know he is the one that took around 16 notebooks of notes. Obviously intelligent. I'm trying to remain positive about him.
i haven't had my coffee yet either. think i better have it now. what i meant was i hoped the MD/JD wasn't the guy falconer hung out with. But now thinking about it, how could someone like an MD/JD stand someone so ignorant as justin?
I think it can cut both ways. As an attorney, he may hold the prosecutors to a higher standard than others. After all, BRD is somewhat subjective. On the other hand, he is smart enough to be able to see the "big picture" and put the pieces together (contrary to Justin Falconer who is as dumb as a box of hair, IMO). The fact that he was selected as the foreperson tells me that the jury sees him as an authority. Therefore, his opinion (whatever it is) may really influence others. Therefore, it's really bad news for the prosecution if this guy is for acquittal.
LOL Thank God for coffee, right? So glad that Falconer is not still on that jury. Sure wish I was.
Then again, does this MD/JD want to go down in the history books wtih his picture next to those OJ jurors? Everybody in the WORLD knows Snot is guilty.
There are so many ways to interpret this. But i still bet for 2 convictions of 1st degree murder with the death penalty imposed. Maybe that's wishful, but it's also deserved.
Oooooh yeah! I got mine now so i can communicate in a "somewhat" coherent fashion as usual. But it's only my first cup and i usually down the whole pot myself. That's why as the day goes on my posts come faster and furiouser (sp).
Oh how i wish each of us on this thread were the jury. HmHmHm.
Even though I would love to see them come back with a verdit today, I don't see it happening. I think they will go through it all, point by point, look at prosecution's theory, then defense explanation and back again. Hopefully, with intelligent disussion, they will be able to see what makes sense and what doesn't. I've served a few times (not on anything as big as this) and this is what we did, even though we went in with our own thought as to guilt or innocence. I think that's fair and the right thing to do, especially in a death penalty case. Praying they can see the truth.
The last I hear was that sound would still be available. But I'll keep reading to see if anyone has heard differently...

"Even though I would love to see them come back with a verdit today, I don't see it happening. I think they will go through it all, point by point, look at prosecution's theory, then defense explanation and back again"
I agree that they will go through the evidence carefully, regardless of their initial "vote" or opinion. I've been a juror twice and we certainly did this. However, even though we've had a five month trial, the important, relevant evidence could be carefully reviewed in two to three days. I think if there is agreement they will be motivated to work hard and get it done today. If it goes past today that tells me that there is some disagreement. JMO!
RB-Is this goinng to be the verdict announcement thread or are you going to start another one.
Jackie-O Even my son is tuned into court tv waiting to here the jury has come to a decision, and he is not a fan of this case.
Is this the Second day of deliberations?
I bet he gets 60yrs to life with a chance of parole.
The last pics I have seen Scoot has a very evil look in his eyes. I think before his tan, groomed eyebrows and being a littly Pudgy(his words) disguiesed those dark evil eyes.
Jackie's gonna fly over the seats? LOL She'll probably crash her broomstick because of that tank!! Forgive me, that wasn't nice!
FYI.... On Google alert... news was the evidence the jury asked to review was Laci's maternity clothes.... hummmmm, that is a good clue?
Maybe not nice, but definitely funny!

I just heard that the jury asked to see the boat and that it's going to be brought to the court on Monday.
