What was the amended motion? Also what are you guys talking about with the speedier questioning? I can't see at work. TIA

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Oh boy...this guy is difficult to listen to. He's kinda wishy-washy in his answers.

Wait til we get to the death penalty questions...that will be a real treat.

 

[GourmetSoy]

I have reservations that he can put aside his own opinion by the way he is answering. He doesn't sound very decisive in his answers.

 

[strawberry]

1019 - male - African American, no hardship, no financial, medical, family, employed IT, employer won't hassle for time off, thinks he will be paid.

A minority..but thinks she's guilty. How you like them apples JB?

Death Penalty Stance: For it. *Would vote DP or life in prison w/o parole depending upon circumstances. *Feels strongly about imposing DP for murder of a police officer or a random, innocent person being killed. *Was asked on a scale from 1-10 (10 being completely for it) how for the death penalty is he- answered an 8. *DP topic isn't one that often comes up in conversations..hasn't thought about his stance on it much recently. *Is a Presbyterian, but has no religious or political DP views. *Would consider age, lack of maturity, history of abuse, family history , brain development and social background as mitigating circumstances. *Would NOT consider employment history as a mitigating circumstance.

State: No challenges/objections. Defense: Challenges/objects based upon cause being he gave untruthful answers re: being arrested in the past, his memorabilia hobbies (didn't disclose he owned crime memorabilia) and are worried about his answers to mitigating circumstances because he changed them due to lack of understanding at first.[/B]

Judge: Overrules objections. Defense: Strikes.

Juror released.

KayLynnCouture,
You are HIRED!

 

[cluciano63]

So this juror does not know the age of Caylee, or the names of anyone involved, yet he decided she is guilty...hmmm....I am not getting him at all.

 

[Turnadot]

if selected you will be required to set aside any ideas, etc or opinions etc., what you have seen/heard and based on the evidence you see here and the law I tell you, etc., HHJP is so good at giving the PJ the intro speech. There is no right or wrong answer but in your heart of hearts are you able to do that sir. Yes. Any hesitation or reservation - No. You understand if selected anything you have gleaned, conclusions you have arrived at, you cannot use it to fill in the blanks. Any concern about your ability to do that. No.

This PJ is a better person than me, I guess, because I couldn't put aside certain facts that may not be presented in court. I'd have a very hard time not considering them.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Why does the state make blogging sound like such a foreign concept? Lol.

 

[nursebeeme]

he doesn't watch 48 hours
he doesn't blog
he hasn't read blogs on this case
he doesn't know CA/GA or recognize their names

 

[GourmetSoy]

So this juror does not know the age of Caylee, or the names of anyone involved, yet he decided she is guilty...hmmm....I am not getting him at all.

I don't believe him, I also didn't believe the last guy

 

[epiphany]

Doesn't recognize the names GA and CA.

 

[lemon]

LDB confusing the jurors again with lawyer talk. "News magazine" Love her but just say "TV show". This has confused a few people so far.

 

[Wise Old Owl]

IF pj didn't know the names of Caylee or Casey Anthony - then how did he know this is the trial for that coverage that he saw?

Does that make sense?

 

[lemon]

Why does the state make blogging sound like such a foreign concept? Lol.

I think it is a foreign concept to them. They don't even know what it really is.

 

[Tulessa]

JB and his helicopters. :innocent:

 

[sleutherontheside]

Was unloading groceries when the thread opened....here are some screen caps from right before HHJP took the stand.

 

[SurfieTX]

Lol..he sees helicopters all of the time, that it's nothing unusual around there. Yikes.

 

[nursebeeme]

Defense:
he doesn't read the paper
he reads sports online
no idea how often it was mentioned
not interested in the news
((okay baez... next phase!!!))

when he saw helicopters he didn't think much of it
out here often to work out
didn't know case being heard here
found out when he walked thru the door
no news shows
no specials on the case
no family or friends with interest in the case
