Dennis Root on Piers Morgan tonight.

That makes perfect sense. They should be able de-stress before they acquit.

An appeal of the verdict will take some time, but if Nelson denies a motion to have GZ stay on bond pending appeal, getting that overturned or quashed can move very quickly.

LOL....glad you mentioned her, I wondered about who she was as well.

I tend to agree with you on all points, mostly that juries are unpredictable. But this jury, when given a choice, has almost always opted for pushing on through. Then they asked to leave before 6 p.m.? No one seemed to be expecting them to want to leave that early, so it doesn't seem likely that family visits were scheduled, kwim? So why were they in such a rush today of all days? It could be that they'll come back in the morning, have a last discussion to make sure they're all in agreement still, then acquit.

I don't know if any of these are thoughts of the jury, but they did come to my mind.

If they have basically already come to a verdict they may be waiting until tomorrow morning to early afternoon to announce the verdict for multiple reasons.

1. To make sure people know they took it seriously and didn't rush to judgment.

2. If they did decide on Not Guilty by waiting until morning they may damper possible riots or at least lessen them since riots seem to happen more in the heat of the moment and worse at night.

Loved the guest att. on NG tonight who told her she was a subtle as a cement brick. Nancy cut his mic.

No, if GZ isn't acquitted, the defense goes to a panel of judges who aren't crushing on the prosecution and who will read an entire case instead of just the head notes.

I understand, Chip but...

"Speculation about the unknowable" is something forums do.

You could look at as "proposing a null hypothesis"... to be tested when data is collected

or......

Hi liesel!

I would show respect by not coming out for at least several hours, but... I DO remember the Ant case... that's what worries me!!!

liesel: this post makes me feel better. Just might be it. They needed to see something in evidence to be sure, all agreed. They decided to sleep on it and if they are all in agreement tomorrow, render a not guilty.

Yup, it's all been shenanigans, the entire narrative.

4. They didn't want to have to go home tonight after their long day and have to make dinner. (Especially the woman with 8 kids)

Thanks for the link Liesel

Hornsby provides good analysis (MOSTLY)

He has been on WS blog radio before.

Tricia Griffith at Websleuths has so much more class than Jamie Baker at JQ. (or Amraann)

And she has a brain

I seem to recall Tricia was leaning toward the Traybot side early on... but WS had the good sense to shut down the Zimmerman case discussion.. since it was divisive. They opened up the GZ forum again once the trial started.. and it seems that Tricia has absorbed the facts of the case and sees that George is not guilty.


WS have not hidden the GZ forum away in shame like JQ.... and certainly have not taken the bizarre step of closing the entire site off from public view.

Good. I'm glad.

Also remember that BDLR tried to strike two of the jurors. I'm sure he had good reason for thinking they were not sympathetic to him. I said it earlier, and I'll say it again for those who missed it: I think he's going to want to (strike) all six after they acquit.

One of the jurors, iirc, her son and husband use guns. She wouldn't want them going to jail for defending themselves. Another used to have a ccw.

Bottom line - we should all be sending prayers and good thoughts.
No need to get distracted from that until we have good cause, kwim?
