I AM HOME!! YEAH!!
So, nothing as of yet. More and more speculation as we hang on every word from sites and tweets.
I will continue to believe that the jury is being very thorough and although they may have some questions, it does not mean that they are necessarily deadlocked.
I like to think that Paul Sanders (13th juror) is correct when he says one of the most important thing for each and every juror is that whatever their decision is, it is important that they can go home and sleep at night.
You can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the mitigating factors that they seem to be having trouble with are the ones that deal with mental illness. Tough call for them. Even if she does know right from wrong, this issue could be a stumbling block for them.
Justice - I saw the letter that you posted and I agree, it was excellent. Thanks.
