And I don't lend credence to arguments that are buttressed with personal attacks such as calling one a "VDA" or telling someone they are not ethical enough to be a good juror.

Sorry, but VDA happens to fit some people. The very same people who want to cast every negative light possible on DW's every breath are willing to give a pass and an "oh well" to a couple who are undoubtedly to this day putting their kids at risk.

As for ethical, that is your word; not mine. I said I hoped you never had to be judged in the manner you appear to be judging this defendant.

You have him convicted and sentenced and the defense has not even rested. Guess what? That does not an honest juror make. Call it ethics or whatever you want. If the shoe fits..........

Does anyone have the verbatim admonition that the judge recites to the jurors every day? You know the one about making any decisions prior to the end of the case.

I think a refresher course is in order.

See, I don't see how you can make that statement. I certainly do not.

I can say the evidence is very strong, and I could even say that at this point I'd vote for a conviction, but the case isn't over.

I most certainly don't know how I'd vote on sentencing. I guess you think I'd vote for the Death Penalty. I think probably not, and I believe such a penalty requires a unanimous verdict.
