URGENT UPDATE: 3:10PM PST:
Jury has been SENT BACK TO DELIBERATE.
The judge asked the jury for a count of votes, without indicating for or against conviction. The judge then asked if there was anything they could clarify for the jury. We're not yet sure what the clarification was, but the judge sent them back in.
The jury is un-hung.
UPDATE: 3:45PM PST:
The jury asked for clarification of the definition of "masturbation", or something very much along that line. On the question of vote counts: The count splits varied widely on each of the 9 individual counts, we don't have all of the totals, but they range from 11-1 to 7-5. (Again, not knowing which way the split falls.
The jury was coming back in again at 3:50PM, The time of this writing.
Talk about a reverse of emotions! I was just getting ready to write about my deep disappointment over a hung jury resulting in a mistrial when I read the latest update. Let's keep praying strongly that justice is served. It's not over til the fat lady sings! Can't wait to hear her sing the song of justice for victims and their families.
ReplyDeleteYes. This whole trial has been just a bit too much.

ReplyDeleteSecond that.
Unbelieveable, this is like riding the Giant Dipper in Santa Cruz!
ReplyDeleteThe ride is apparently 1 minute and 52 seconds but seems like a lifetime.........
I too just started a flight of ideas piece ... I am glad I can put it aside for some paying work I just received.
ReplyDeletePlease please, let there be a miracle in Redwood City. Let justice be done for 41 (or is it 42?) men who deserve healing.
