My prediction is M1 for #JodiArias... A #verdict, rather than a question, means #penalty phase coming next! #JodiJury @hlntv @davidotunga

hln... one of the female jurors that was returning was seen wiping her eyes... ???

Let's assume there were a few "undecided's" for sake of argument. Given the testimony, the probability is that the majority were for M1 and, since there is a verdict and not a hung jury, wouldn't it be logical that the potential undecided's saw the light and moved to M1, rather than the majority moving DOWN to M2 ???

You guys this is so weird, and true. I still can't believe it. As I was typing VERDICT IS IN here, I hear this huge crash in my little house. I live in a house that is about 240 years old.
Scared the crap out of me, and I jumped a mile.
I start looking around and nothing is out of place, but the crash was big, so I finally go into the living room. I have an original fireplace in there and it has one of those 'beehive' ovens (brick oven built in the fp wall for cooking 200 years ago.)
Well, it has a little wooden door on it, and the door was laying 3 feet away on the living room floor. I don't understand how it went flying out there. It has NEVER happened before...
Just couldn't believe it, and the timing!

Yes. Like I said, there may have been one or a few people who believe Travis attacked Jodi. Just that simple piece of this salacious and dirty case is enough to cause them to have to read and re-read those juror instructions.

That's what I would have thought...that there would have been far more for murder one and perhaps one or two that needed convincing. I would have thought a hung jury would be MORE likely than a verdict of murder two or less...But then I remember the day they announced a verdict in the CA case. I was elated, and absolutely sure it would be guilty of M1. I was knocked off my pins and in shock when they read the verdict. Couldn't believe it and burst into shocked sobs...

I know. I am sitting here with TV on HLN, computer in my lap, and yorkies sitting around me! I am as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs...

Where's Oli? Is he here?

Wonder if Pianist and Kiki know....Wish they'd chime in...

Hi Oli, Hold my proverbial hand---I am so scared and nervous!

I would hope for death if that is what T's family wants but as long as the verdict is M1, I could live with LWOP

Oh my gosh guys...1 hour to go...

This is the longest hour EVER! Get on with it...

Hi everyone, I just got home from Dr. appt. I was crazy because I heard a blurb on the radio that verdict was reached but didnt know what it was. I called home and husband told me to slow down, wasn't being read til 4:30 (our time). I feel a sense of calm. I feel it will be M1.

Does anyone know where the jury is while waiting for the verdict to be read? I am assuming that they are not wandering around somewhere. Are they all together in a room somewhere? The jury room?

I wonder if for the verdict reading the friends of Travis' who are there will be able to get into the courtroom, instead of members of the general public?

I will be holding a wooden spoon in each hand as the verdict is read !!!

I'm gonna get some work done during the next hour.

I have no idea where they would be kept. I think Jodi is in the basement of the courthouse. (where she belongs)

I'm so afraid that she is going to get a lite sentence because it's taken so long to deliberate. I pray I'm wrong.

I wonder with that large crowd amassing outside the court house, will the cheers/boos be heard from inside? That would be crazy.

That is what I thought too, and I am sick with worry. I hope to God we are wrong.

Using mine to cook up some M1 soup.

It still seems surreal that they finally have a verdict after all these months.

Mrskinger wrote:I will be holding a wooden spoon in each hand as the verdict is read !!!

In my case, I think that in the best interest of my television..I will hold NOTHING in my hands as the verdict is read. (I don't want to throw anything at my tv! LOL.)

UGH! Nancy Grace needs to

I am reading all your posts. I am at hospital with hubby. Only have cell phone so it is through you folks that I will know what the verdict is. Love all of your passion. Keep it up.

Dear Pianist,
Thinking of you and hubby right now and sending prayers and all good thoughts...

Jury should be in the courtroom, iirc. They will be polled one by one from JSS as to the verdict being their decision of their own free will, etc.

Argh...stressing but know it will be okay. lol
