I have no idea........spreading rumors.

[Spunky]

After looking at the boat jury told Judge Delucchi they may not be able to come to an agreement.

IT LOOKS LIKE DEAD LOCK

Well at least it will not be Not Guilty and with a retrail the prosecution may be able to get more evidence.

[MEG33]

The juoror seems to not be deliberating..made up mind and that's that!..Not harsh enough instruction to say deadlocked for sure...too early..

American's love their individuality psychologist says and yet in jury room must work , share ideas, look at another view..be willing to discuss.

Juror $6 speculation, of course..The whole thing is speculation..sigh.

Juror#6

[RGSpincich]

If he is blatantly refusing to deliberate he can be replaced. It's a stretch but it happens.

[StarFan]

Juror #6 was the man looking at his nails throughout the trial and didn't seem phased with the entire proceeding. Wonder if he's the one who befriended Juror #5.

[MEG33]

yes

[StarFan]

Hmmm. Well if I were the judge I'd give them one more hour and if he still refuses to cooperate, than kick his butt out of there and get an alternate willing to do their duty.

Hope this doesn't drag on and on as one juror is due for elective surgery on Friday and court is closed on Thursday. My wish is for a verdict rendered by Wednesday and the return of the jurors to discuss the death penalty phase next week.

I wonder how Laci's mother is doing through all this.

[Jackie-O]

Agree Starfan! Judge will not put up with bull$hit like that. If there is a juror not participating, he/she will be replaced toot-sweet.

[Jackie-O]

Prayers for Sharon!!

[Rambler7]

Surely there are jurors who would be so sure he did it that they wouldn't fold and say not guilty, they'd let it be a deadlock because they'd know he would be tried again at least.

[Spunky]

Per radio news

Judge Deluchi says to keep an open mind and keep on deliberating.

[Jackie-O]

Judge is supposed to be addressing the jury any time now...maybe we'll know more then.

[Spunky]

I have a question. If it comes out a hung jury, and they retry Scott, if anymore evidence is found after this trial, say the anchors, skull, etc. would they be able to use those items in a retrial?

[Rambler7]

I think that's yes, they can do it all different the next time around.

[Neenah]

Wonder if he's the one who befriended Juror #5.

This is just me..but I have thought all along that Justin (#5) has been in contact with #6 all along. Don't know why I thought that...but I have.

And for the life of me, why O why do they keep interviewing that nob?

[Neenah]

Here are the pictures of Scott and Amber that the jury requested, and were given today.

Hi RG - You know what? Judge Delucchi has had emails about Juror #6 discussing the case with Justin buddy and his girlfriend, plus this guys attitude etc. He should have REMOVED him before now. The local lawyers say that Delucchi will do everything possible to avoid a mistrial. IF this is the guy, and it would appear to me that he's the one that displayed the disinterest in the case and interest in his fingernails only, then he should be replaced period.
