Counsel for both the State and Defense agreed to accept a verdict from a jury of 5, or a mistrial, should a juror have to be dismissed.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Miami this week. You're a brave, brave soul...

Yes! This! ^^^

But I'm still hoping they just went back to pack their things, come in fresh and clean to render verdict in the morning.

Thank you Chip for answering my question.

I almost forgot to laugh at this one... so...



...cos all of the jurors are female but one doesn't look it...

...and they were all issued laptops!

Rumpole, that was too funny!

With the jury adjourning deliberations for the evening, and a lack of desire to speculate about the unknowable, I think this is where I bid everyone a good evening.

GZ would probably remain on bond until sentencing, if the jurors are going to ignore the evidence and lie to themselves about what happened, like the state did. That would likely be a few weeks, maybe even six weeks down the road, while reports are filed, etc.

Meanwhile, yes, pleadings would be filed in the appellate court and a motion to leave GZ free on bond pending appeal would be filed in the trial court. If Nelson denies it, the defense would file for a cert writ and/or an appeal, an maybe even habeas corpus if they're feeling frisky. Once the trial is over, the DCA can start overturning Nelson left and right and can reverse or quash any order denying GZ leave pending appeal based on the danger he faces and the likelihood of his various pleadings with the DCA being successful.

There are two things holding up GZ's freedom, the way I see it: the jurors and the judge. Once the verdict is in, as described above, the DCA can start exercising jurisdiction.

Nite Chip.

I can't see me getting up (not going to bed) to be here at 1:00AM for start of Court.

I may even MISS the actual moment.

I think I'll just keep this general discussion thread ONLY from now on.

Sorry...been trying all day.



JQ Refugee (ran outta BP meds)
Think I'm gonna run out of Valium soon now too.
This case blows my mind. It's about SO MUCH more than what's on the surface, which I know you all know.
Know the crunt Judge-she's from here and been against her when she was a prosecutor in Broward (or Broweird as we call it); unfortunately also know Miami Gardens Thugs too (defend lots of them).

Just wanted to see if I can post now.

Shalom and Thanks!

You sure about that?

In Arias case... there was talk of her going to prison after sentence, ahead of sentencing... I know in that case she was already in custody... but I would not be surprised if GZ was locked up pending sentence hearing.

If it ever came to that.

Crump on with Ryan Smith just now...the saving grace for me is when this is finally all over, I never have to see him again on my TV.

Saw a blip of Sybrinia chewing her gum rapidly in court...why do I find that so annoying?

That one was so funny I shared the pic and Rumpoles comment at another forum immediately. That's a ROF to LMAO funny!

There are a whole bunch of clips..... a long interview chopped into several 3 minute bits... did you miss the others?

It really concerns me too. I really hoped they would follow MOM's suggestion to start at a Not Guilty vote to see if they even needed to deliberate...

The whole Prosecution case proves reasonable doubt, so I don't know what's taking so long.

I am sure they will come back with “Not Guilty”
