I have to be upfront and say I haven't read any of this thread. While waiting for the jury I got physically sick. My DH thought I was nuts and I'm so disappointed in myself.
After calming down and listening to the jury here are my thoughts. I hope I don't make anyone mad.
I feel terrible for the Alexanders that they didn't get the verdict they wanted. I hope not to offend here, but I've been praying about this since the beginning of deliberations and asked God to guide the jury outcome. After the jury spoke, I felt that my prayers had been answered.
I have no right to speculate on the Alexanders feelings, but when 11 jurors come out and say they didn't believe any of the BS the defense was trying to sell and they thought JA was a lying evil person, that was satisfaction for me. It says the defense was NOT successful in their attack on Travis. The plus of it is JA will be locked away forever and the Alexanders won't have to be further hurt by endless appeals.
I hope the Alexanders are aware of what the jury stated and it brings them peace.
MOO
Beautifully written Myvice...but you have to remember, they've been waiting so long for this...willing to put themselves through almost 5 more months of hell...and for what? To feel at peace with 11 jurors believing what they knew all along? Travis was a good guy...they're beloved brother...and, IMO, a pretty terrific human being. Not sure how I'd feel with the "almost was". Maybe one day they'll be able to wrap their brains around this...I pray they can, but I can understand why they may not...'cause right now, I can't wrap my brain around how this played out. Just boggles my mind.
