Well, to clarify, the two jurors who agreed to talk with the media indicated that his lack of emotion may have played a part in their decision during the PENALTY phase of the trial.
In all my readings since the verdict, none have indicated that his emotion played a part in their decision during the CRIMINAL part of the trial. This is a very important distinction. While the criminal case should be decided purely on the facts, the penalty phase provides for additional factors to be weighed....one of which is remorse, I believe. So in that regard, a juror saying something to the affect of "He didn't seem to show any emotion", once they've already convicted him of murder, can be a valid consideration when deciding his fate. > yeah i must agree, if thats what they based > their decision on, or any part of their decision, then > they did it on a gut feeling, and fuck, i wouldnt want > to be convicted of ANYTHING based on someones > GUT FEELING? > > -- tony > > Tony Weeg > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:139798 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
