Ash Wednesday Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 [quote name='PaxVobis' date='Nov 12 2004, 04:40 PM'] Don't you think that having 2 jurors kicked out and 2 replacements is going to be a very easy thing to use in appeals court? Peace, Tony [/quote] It could be -- I think at the appellate stages they would have to examine the circumstances. I heard that Judge Delucci is very experienced in murder/death penalty cases, so while appealing because of what happened is possible, it's an uphill battle. They do have those alternates for a reason, though. I guess only time will tell. As the talking heads are saying, this isn't over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 I will admit I'm not a member of the Geragos Fan Club. That boat stunt was really stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R.D Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 What boat stunt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Well, the defense put a mock boat outside the courtroom, with equipment and weights and a mock dead body inside it, about a block away from where the jury would be. Legal analysts from both sides were having a cow, and that they could have gotten sanctioned from it. I don't understand what they were getting at, other than having some kind of visual to bring a circus atmosphere to a court case and psyching out the jury. It was bizarre. They were ordered to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 [quote name='J.R.D' date='Nov 12 2004, 04:41 PM'] Well they get rid of them because they couldnt find eni=ough evidence to convict him of the death penalty So what dse that tell you???? They WANTED him to be convicted of the degrees So it seems riged to me [/quote] I don't even think anyone knows how the jury was splitting, certainly not the judge. If there is juror misconduct, it's because they are not even deliberating at all. It's required in the court of law that jurors have to participate in the deliberation process. If we flipped the supposed circumstances -- that is to say the jury was leaning towards not guilty, and someone in there was dead set that the man was guilty and he was NOT willing to deliberate, would that suddenly be [b]okay[/b] that he/she was removed, just because [b]you,[/b] a public observer, think he's innocent? We, the public, don't know the facts. We didn't sit and listen to this for five months. They have meticulously heard admitted evidence in the court of law. We have not.

Ash Wednesday Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 (edited) Now the issue of the death penalty, jeez. I don't know if I could put another person to death. It's one thing to find someone guilty -- to put someone to death is.... ehh, I don't know if I could do it. But I suppose if I sat through all this and worked with others -- I can't say how it would be but as I sit now, I don't know if I could bring myself to do it.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I wouldn't put him to death. I don't see how the death penalty is applicable in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
