No, you're not actually wrong. A jury really should think, as long as it takes, about a decision that involves literal lives.
That would be backwards, though. It would be logical to decide pedobaum first.
The judge clearly wants a jury verdict no matter the outcome. He doesn't want to to hear accusations that he didn't give the jury a chance to do their job.
The jurors have had 11 days to form an opinion, it is unusual that deliberations take this long when it's such a clear cut case of self-defense. It's taking this long because of the publicity surrounding this trial, the jurors have a lot to consider other than Kyle's guilt.
I'm concerned about the judge cucking also. He mentioned some shit about maybe not live streaming cases in the future after talking about spun up media bullshit related to him and how he runs his court. It was extremely important for the public to see how fucking scummy the prosecution are. Yet he wants to talk about the Founding Fathers.
they cant do that. if they convict on rosenbaum they must convict on huber and large cross.
I think he's using the mistrial as insurance against guilty and he'll never actually use it.
Kyle retreated and wasn't firing on anyone, by law even if he murdered Pedobaum his self defense against Gaige and Huber would be valid.
This completely goes against the point of requiring a unanimous jury decision for murder trials. It is supposed to be difficult to acquit or convict in a murder trial because one way or another someone has died, and the decision decides the fate of a second person's life. What should be done, if anything, is auto-sequester all juries in potentially politically charged trials like this the entirety of the trial, no internet, no tv, just vidya games and movies to entertain them with. Protests that deal with the jury's decision should also be forced to be held out of earshot of the courthouse. Normally I wouldn't approve of 'designated protest areas', but given we've come to a point where political parties try to use protests to intimidate jurors into ruling a certain way, it is the most reasonable response.
the people holding out are in all likely hood the ones that want to hang kyle.
For all we know, there is.
He'll give a mistrial without prejudice at most.
The fact he is doing that is proof the system does not work. Sending the jury to make a decision after major and numerous instances prosecutorial misconduct is not justice. It is not the system working.
I suppose that’s possible. Still a hung trial is a good outcome no? If double jeopardy still applies? Or am I ignorant of some legal nuance?
Easy to say with a dog shit case like this when the facts are heavily on the defendant's side. Just as easy to have some useless fag stall for days on a guilty verdict for inane reasons. Cases like this should be done and dusted easily. OJ took 4 hours. Trayvon took 12 hours, this is looking to go into day 3 by this point.
