I don't believe they are "milking it" based on great food and company. The trial went on for months. They are constrained by the Court's daily schedule (and the fact that some may actually have lives outside the courthouse). Take a deep breath and beeeeee patient!

Also, congratulations to Mr.Sprocket for passing his tests and hopefully you two will have two things to celebrate soon. <BR/> I hate to say this but I will, I really felt that the holdout juror (Mr.Engineer) in PS1 never made any sense when explaining why he took the position he did. Things with him just didn't sit well with me. It made me wonder if someone had gotten to him, I don't trust Spector and wouldn't put anything past him or his goons. I'm starting to worry that PS2 will turn out the same way. How would they ever find out? I pray I'm wrong and that justice is served this time for everyone involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-55217252250740709082009-04-07T20:54:00.000-07:002009-04-07T20:54:00.000-07:00Hi Sprocket,I love all your descriptions of clothi...Hi Sprocket,<BR/>I love all your descriptions of clothing.

We need to remember that many of them coud be deeply distrustful of the justice system or perhaps have very definite opinions on suicide based on their life experiences. As I recall, one of the women on the jury had a brother commit suicide. If she has bought into the defense theory, it could take some time to convince her that Lana was different than her brother and depression doesn't always lead to suicide. The only way you can convince someone is to go about it methodically because brow beating rarely works. <BR/><BR/>All of this is speculation. But lets not also forget, the jury could easily be caught between murder 2 and manslaughter. For me, this makes the most sense beacuse it would mean that a juror could have bought into the fact that PS brought out the gun but she ultimately pulled the trigger or it simply went off as an accident. Again, the only way to convince this juror that either way PS acted with a concious disregard for the life of another is to go over the evidence such as the Lindemoot testimony (which clearly shows that her hands were in a defensive position) and piece by piece show them that PS is the only one responsible here. This takes time.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately we need to give it some more time. If the jury announces that they are deadlocked, then we can start worrying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-91774673646196760852009-04-07T19:52:00.000-07:002009-04-07T19:52:00.000-07:00I still think it's too early to speculate on whats...I still think it's too early to speculate on whats going on with the jury.

I don't want objectivity, or innocence before being proven guilty, with this case. He's been proven guilty beyond all doubt by the preponderance of evidence in the court of public opinion, based on our ability to weigh his entire degenerate life of antisocial behavior and history with guns and women.<BR/><BR/>God bless you, and congratulations to Mr. Sprocket for his success today.<BR/>- micheleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-64980316422063658252009-04-07T17:05:00.000-07:002009-04-07T17:05:00.000-07:00Wish I knew what it all meant, I only hope the jur...Wish I knew what it all meant, I only hope the jury sees things as I do, guilty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-31462173751661144912009-04-07T16:40:00.000-07:002009-04-07T16:40:00.000-07:00there will be a retrial if it's a hung jury.
