I don't know, he hasn't been mentioned by a tweeter before, just seemed she noticed something unusual about him and tweeted, which made me think something unusal was going on.

Standing down lol

Darn. Must have been JM asking for the delay, doubt she'd do it for DT without excellent cause after all the delays they've put this trial through.

IMO, that juror just communicated that the jury is leaning towards a NG verdict. I will be pleasantly surprised if they convict RC. JMV

I have been worried about this case from the beginning, It seems 'bad cop' cases are the hardest to try and get a conviction.

The jurors seem to give them more benefit of a doubt when they really shouldnt.

Also, I could tell Juan was worried when he mentioned in his closing that the victim wasn't a throwaway and deserves justice too. I have seen NG verdicts when the jury is unduly prejudice against the victim as if the life of the defendant is worth more than the one he killed.

I hope that is not the case here but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if another 'bad cop' walks free.

IMO

They are now predicting a January start date for CMJA. OMG it will never end it seems.

Where'd you see the date for the continuance, Zuri?

Well said. The pre conception that a drug addict is a throw away is very common unfortunately. The bias is there. JMV

HLN said it was at the request of the defense.

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm surprised she let the defense do this again.

there has to be a point where she grows a backbone and says enough.

she was found guilty in what may? so its been 4months already and she still hasn't been sentenced. there is no way if this went to appeal they would have grounds of JSS being unfair without all these delays.

anyway back on topic.

i hope they work through lunch,coming in and working for 1 1/2 hours is nothing.
