Convict him, then take a pair of rusty dull scissors and snip his spinal cord at the base of the neck....

Quite normal when a conscientious jury has hundreds of counts in an indictment.

I'm surprised they were unable to reach a verdict on only two counts.

The "dynamite" charge is standard, to ensure that the jury is really at an impasse and truly cannot agree.

No, No, No,

Start at L5 and work your way up to C1, one vertebrae at a time...

The person that wrote this article is assuming the jury has found him guilty on the 200+ counts and is only undecided on two...

I think it is FAR more likely that the jury found him innocent on the 200+ counts, and is hung on only two.

I have no faith in my fellow citizens.

It’s amazing.

During Vietnam, all I heard was how U.S. pilots were “baby killers” committing crimes against humanity.

The demonstrations featured people screaming this in front of the ROTC building on campuses across the country.

Now we have a real live certified baby killer sitting in plain view with all the evidence open to see.

Where are the outraged Leftists of yesteryear?

The angry Baby Boomers shocked by the evil of it all?

They shrug with indifference and say, “it’s an abortion man, whadja expect?”

Exactly.

And this jury will confirm our national cult of Moloch.

God help us.

For a liberal to find this man guilty... they would have to admit that THEY are murderers themselves partially responsible for 10 times more deaths than the Nazi’s.

What’s the chance that their isn’t at least ONE liberal on that jury?

There is no way that a rational mind could not declare what he was doing as murder on an industrial scale.

Liberals are, by their very nature, irrational (and not merely about abortion).

That is why I am confident he will be found not guilty.

It makes me sick to think that. But I will be shocked if he is found guilty on a single charge.

You may well be correct. But if so, it may just be to stupidity. I've been on several minor municipal court juries and the stupidity and cowardice are amazing. There's always someone who "feels uncomfortable" judging anybody and should therefore not have been allowed on a jury in the first place. Then there are those who expect the prosecution to present such an open and shut case that they consider the prosecution to have failed if they do not produce a slam-dunk. I constantly hear these idiots complain that "the prosecution didn't do a good job proving such-and-such" as if the prosecution is on trial.

I have argued with some of these jurors by explaining that "we're here to sift the evidence and make a decision. Otherwise there'd be no reason for us to be here". America has been dumbed down too much to produce competent juries.

The jury is likely looking for a way to excuse eveything ‘for lack of evidence’. But even they, dead of soul as they have to be to not immediately convict this ghoul, cannot get past the specter of him murdering struggling alive children just born or in the last stage of being born. The sheer evil is almost too much for them to swallow, but they’re trying their best to get it down and walk away don’tchaknow.

We do not know who is on the jury. I find it hard to believe that on a jury of 12 men and women that we could find people who would disregard ALL the laws this man broke. He will be found guilty on many counts. It is KEY that he is found guilty of the murders of the babies.

“I have no faith in my fellow citizens.”

Nor do I. Especially city-dwelling liberal pro-choicers who are loathe to convict a brother.

Many of us had the same expectation of the Casey Anthony trial, too.

exactly.

that’s one of the biggest problems with us letting the liberals take over the cities!

The cities are where all the big case are tried, and liberals make up nearly the entire cities population and thus it’s juries.

Well, it could be guilty on some, innocent on some, and undecided on two.

It’s hard to believe that any jury could be so in love with abortion that they’d find him innocent on ALL counts. And equally hard to imagine that all twelve of them would find him innocent on ALL counts.

Most likely there was at least some division—seven to five, ten to two, who knows?—and they will reach some sort of compromise.

Jury nulification in criminal cases is a way of life in DC. Not Guilty by race is sop.
