Whoops. Guilty! I did post a Cathy Russon tweet without realizing you had already posted it. For some reason I thought you were only posting Ashley Franco tweets. If you plan to continue posting all tweet reporters during jury watch, that would be fantastic! Thanks!Could I ask a favor! Those posting tweets make sure they are not already posted so we don't double copy tweets
I think the jurors are going to take some time. Maybe they will decide today but go home and sleep on it---and will submit their verdict on Saturday morning.
Jurors typically have much evidence to go thru and discuss. It's their duty to do so. Base their decision on fact and not emotion.Is this common ? I would hate if they had a verdict for them to drag out the family’s pain for any longer than necessary.
It is common because often they want to have some time to contemplate and think deeply before they turn in the verdict. I don't think of it as dragging out the family's pain---I think of it as taking their job as a juror seriously, and wanting to really think it through.Is this common ? I would hate if they had a verdict for them to drag out the family’s pain for any longer than necessary.

Honestly if I were on this jury I'd be chomping at the bit to render a verdict to get home this evening for some pizza and beer and move on with my life. Done.By the way, I hope
‘Sleeping on it’ is quite common, and in my personal opinion a very responsible thing to do.
I wish we could get some hard rain here in Southern Cali. All we are getting lately is blistering heat.
Sleep well Niner! I hope we've heard something by the time your return.It's HOT here too in Riga... I'm sitting here -I hate muggy!
I'm off to bed now - so if I don't come back if someone "tags" me - it means I'm sleeping & will find out tomorrow morning. Hopefully we have a verdict by then!!
Later!
This would have been a good trial to attend, if possible. I noticed there were lots of seats available in gallery.Wish I were in CO right now. I’d be camped outside that courthouse
