Good morning geevee, do you think the jury might be out a long time - short time? I remember the judge saying lawyers must be 15 minutes away from court room. There was a question about lunch time , if that still applied then. Lol. So, I am thinking maybe jurors set their own lunch hour. Oh, I dunno ! I think / hope there will be a verdict today.

'Morning ohoh, I was a little surprised too that the judge required everyone to remain within 15 minutes of the courtroom, did he realize that means all of us also have to stick close to our devices with such little notice time? lol
I've been thinking that over this morning, how much time will the jury need? I think the prosecution did a terrific job of laying out their case and then making it clear to the jury, so to me any lengthy amount of time would be more likely caused by a split. I think that's unlikely though, between the prosecution's 'very little if any doubt' backed by facts theory and the defense's 'whose to know? it's all in doubt' backed by arm waving theory, I think the choice is pretty clear.
The main area of confusion I would think is in the charges/instructions, is there a lesser included or if he's guilty of the first charge he's guilty of the second (and is there also a third? They were going through A, B and C yesterday and I got confused). There will probably be a few questions on that, but otherwise I'll be surprised if we don't have a verdict by the day's end, before lunch tomorrow at the outside.

No others that I'm aware of, the MacNeill trial is supposed to be starting next week (Tues.?) I think but it's probably jury selection.
Have been thinking of the high points of the trial, well...not really ! I have appreciated this no nonsense judge, but remember the day he spilled his tea, and mentioned something about retiring? He asked camera guy if that had been taped, and the lawyers were holding back loud guffaws ?

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!! Maybe verdict after lunch?
For sure, potboiler. Remember Bill Schaffer and Kathi Beli----, from that trial I try not to think about because of the verdict. Loved hearing their take on things. But what I really did appreciate in this trial was - NO SIDEBARS.
