[debk589]

I can't even verbalize how jelly I am that Ian1 is there.

[dizzyp]

I'm just praying they did the right thing... my gut tells me they did.

[Mochachino]

They have to get killer out of the basement. That broke nerves into laughter for me.

Thank you for turning my happy nervous tears into a BIG smile on my face!!!!!

[jingles]

Im gonna cry like a bitch if it not M1

Since OJ, and especially CA, well, we should expect anything, and in this case I have been sick thinking they'll "compromise" on M2.
BUT, I'm now thinking that at least, at LEAST 4 of the jurors went into deliberations strongly if not completely in the M1 camp, totally convinced of premeditation. I highly doubt that all of those totally convinced of premeditation and/or felony murder going in could have their beliefs turned around in 15 hours of deliberation. I'm cautiously optimistic that it will be M1!

[AnnieBelle]

I will flash my boobs out of the loft window (the pigeons will be THRILLED) and sing "Happy Days Are Here Again" at the top of my lungs if they read "GUILTY, Murder 1st degree"
If not guilty, I will cry in my beer. No boobs, no song.

[idlewildgirl]

How long until the verdict? I'm in the UK so have no idea about time differences!

[RockinRobyn]

Too many bs instructions around any charge except murder 1. I hope I hope!! Haha we, as a country, need to be united again. This is just the DP case to do it. : )

[Sylvian]

I can't even verbalize how jelly I am that Ian1 is there.

I hope he is ok and doesn't get pushed around in the rush there.

[sheesh]

I will flash my boobs out of the loft window (the pigeons will be THRILLED) and sing "Happy Days Are Here Again" at the top of my lungs if they read "GUILTY, Murder 1st degree"

Address?

I think its about an hour and a half (ish)

[ShellJett]

UM, no not 'many'. Laws define "victim" in who can speak. It isn't a parade of anyone wishing to spout off at the defendant. And the judge can place limits on time allowed etc to make their court managable. I should mention, there is always the option to write a statement and give it to the judge without speaking also.

"Victim" means a person against whom the criminal offense has been committed, or if
the person is killed or incapacitated, the person's spouse, parent, child, grandparent or
sibling, any other person related to the person by consanguinity or affinity to the second
degree or any other lawful representative of the person, except if the spouse, parent,
child, grandparent, sibling, other person related to the person by consanguinity or affinity
to the second degree or other lawful representative is in custody for an offense or is the
accused.

Exactly what happens in the Aggravation phase? Is it argument or are there witnesses?
If jury finds Cruelty proven beyond a reasonable doubt, there is a Mitigation phase next right?
During mitigation witnesses testify on behalf of Stabby. Are they questioned by Defense and cross examined by Prosecution?
Once jury hears mitigation, they deliberate which factors outweigh the other (aggravating vs. mitigating) in order to reach a decision on LWOP or Death. Is it after they announce the sentence that victim impact statements are given?

I think I have the phases in the correct order, but the details are unclear to me at this point. Does anybody have this information to answer my questions? Thank you in advance.

[poppym]

I feel sick but I'm still hoping/wishing/feeling the jury will come back with M1.

My thoughts are with the Alexander family and all of TA's friends.

murder 1...they went through all the evidence the last 2 days. they did it right

It HAS to be M1.

I cannot imagine people giving in that quickly and voting for a lesser charge if they believe it was premeditated or felony murder.

Ok, I havent been too nervous about the verdict yet, but....OMG!!! I'm freakin out a bit now!!!

Verdict Reached
Oh dear God please let it be the right one

Verdict!!!

Please let this be M1 for travis and for his family.

Come on guys.... Think about all we have seen.

I have to believe the jury has made the right decision!

There is no way it's less than M1. The jury would have hung before agreeing to manslaughter or not guilty.

WOO HOO! JACKPOT!!!!

LET'S ALL HOLD CYBER HANDS AT 1.30PM



AND NEVER FORGET WHAT THIS IS ABOUT

[Jem]

930PM our time!

[Person]

Ninety-four minutes from now.

[carnee]

Yes I agree! Sorry worded it badly. I meant the jury had to decide on M1 because with all they saw in this trial, how could they ALL agree to m2? M1 I think too!!! And HOPING so badly like all of us here for justice for Travis and family and friends!

I knew what you were saying. I was just saying not to worry. I really think it will be murder 1.

[bermstalker]

How long until the verdict? I'm in the UK so have no idea about time differences!

1 1/2 hours

[gigiann]
