Duluth, you and Lunarscope can discuss whatever you want but I am only discussing new topics like new articles or videos that pertain to the jury reaching a verdict and what will happen when Arias is sentenced and I hope you will join me.
I think the article on how the jury came to a death verdict for Andriano is telling because it gives us an insight into how juries work. I have never been on a jury so I find it fascinating that they went over the evidence, gave speeches on why they were voting as they were and only three were for death when they started and some were undecided and for life and then after a long weekend of thinking about it, 11 jurors voted for death and only one was a hold out. He was a senior citizen who admitted in the end he was manipulated by Andriano.
According to Foreman Bill Kervakos, the first Arias jury made a pact that they would not try to change each other's minds so they pretty much had their mind made up on whether they would vote for death or life when they started deliberations. So they didn't do much deliberations, unlike the Andriano jury which they did try to change each others minds and it worked.
This jury asked for a list of exhibits so it indicates they are looking at the evidence and according to Karas and Woods show no sign of dissention which means they may be able to come to a unanimous decision. I think this jury will go through the evidence and try to convince other jurors to vote for death. Karas said as I believe she can't see a unanimous decision for life so if there is a verdict she believes it will be for death. I agree.
No one knows what verdict the jury will come up with but I hope they at least deliberate like the Andriano jury did and not just make up their mind like the first Arias jury did in the mitigation phase and refuse to change it.
