I think the foreperson #1 was the one who took a lot of notes? <BR/><BR/>However: my sense is that if they left a little early today it is for one of two reasons. They either finished some large section they were working on and didn't want to start the next, or they are very close to a verdict. <BR/><BR/>The person who said that if they discussed each witness for just 30 minutes it would take at least this long made an astute comment. I can see that scenario, and of course it would be even longer if everyone would bring up something or other. <BR/><BR/>They may be through only 2/3 of the witnesses by now. Then I think there will be some sort of leaning toward their final verdict, and as it goes on it may get a little quicker.

They were attempting to convince thughead Ben10. Reason being, this jury has only 1 request for information, so far. (since they began deliberation.) This is important to me because if they were trying to convince another juror of Spectors guilt would they not be asking for a lot more than they have. Perhaps they are trying to agreed on Murder2 or Manslaughter. Do you recall?<BR/><BR/>April 10, 2009 11:26 AM</I> <BR/><BR/>I have to agree with Anonymous that I quoted... (hopefully the italics worked on the quote!!) This jury has deliberated for 26 hrs 46 mins (per Sprocket above!) - so that's about 4 days and 2 hrs... almost 1/2 of what the last jury did. I predict that the jurors have come to a decision and are taking the weekend to gather their thoughts - that they are doing the right thing - sending Spector to jail - and will come back Monday - with a guilty verdict - Man 2...<BR/><BR/>And I too, Sprocket am interested in the Cameron Brown case - maybe you can give up a quick update on that one - when you have time - of course!!

Still, they've had a lot of time to think about and discuss a case that seems fairly simple: Dead woman; purse on her shoulder, in the foyer of a stranger's house; Spector was the only other person in the house at the time; the gun was his; he unquestionably was in the room at the time of the shooting (and close enough to have blood spatter on his clothes); he was heard to say he may have killed her (that's the testimony -- defense counsel's insinuation that he may have said something else is only that: insinuation); and there is no evidence that he made no effort to call for assistance. More damning than anything seems to be his tampering with the evidence. It seems beyond dispute that he wiped her face, washed the blood from his hands, and changed at least some of his clothes. It seems well establised that he handled and placed the gun where it was found.<BR/><BR/>If some jurors are having trouble with a verdict given this case, they are thoroughly confused and may never see the case for what it is.
