This is sounding even more tragic, I don't think I want to know what was going on in that house. One person murdered, possible assault of a child, other housemates and no one heard a thing????
nope, i'm sure that a life sentence for murder in qld is a mandatory sentence, no ifs or buts, 15 years minimum and the defence can't come along with submissions arguing for a lower sentence, therefore they always sentence straight after a verdict comes down, it can be extended for a time longer...
The water cooler talk in my office this morning has the jury finding him guilty, no one has said the word acquittal and since there are a few capes and wigs hanging around in my office, i hold those opinions in pretty high regard
I still feel sick though :(
i just worry the longer they take to come back with a verdict might mean they are having difficulties agreeing on a verdict????
in a lot of instances a jury that comes back relatively quickly is an indicator of a guilty verdict
In that case, I think they are deluded. I understand they are family but they should at least be prepared for the verdict to not go the way they want it to go
Those of you who have been there all day, how long do you plan to hang around, until the jury is dismissed for the day? which may not be until after 4 or 5 tonight. That's if there is no verdict before that of course
it's interesting isn't it how different people can be ..... i know I wouldn't be very calm, I'd be a nervous wreck if I was waiting around for verdict that was going to put one of my family members behind bars for a long time :thinking:
