8 hour of deliberating...not a good sign for the defense.

lol ... for you, nothing is a good sign for the defense.

The prosecutor could have walked up at closing, taken a dump and you would still be extolling his
brilliance.

Chico, I disagree about the adult/child designation. At 17, if the role was reversed, he would have been charged as an adult. From 16-21 our country is awash in mixed signals about minor vs adult, but when someone uses the term "child" for a 17 yo teen male, it's a tad misleading. This coming from the father of a 16 yo teen "boy".

For this case, the only question is whether or not TM was physically capable of putting a beat down on GZ - regardless of whether you call him a "kid" "child" "teen" "young man" or "banana".

When u are 17 you are a young man, not a child.

It would appear murder 2 is off the table. Jury is asking for a clarification on the instructions for manslaughter.

I bet it has something to do with the intent needed. General intent to cause harm or specific intent to harm a particular person. Pure speculation on my part.

I think he gets manslaughter and is out of prison in 5 yrs

Thats odd...the minimum sentance for manslaughter is 9.5 years without the possibility of parole.

Oh oh...it's getting worse and worse for the defense. Isn't it Joe?

lol ... could be. On the other hand, they may not be as open minded as you ... murder 2 appears to be off the table and they could be trying to figure out if they think there is even enough for manslaughter.

Read whatever you want into it saden1. It's in the blackbox now and anybody trying to interpret what's going on is just trying to read tea leaves.

That's what they say, but I'm sure they'll let him out on GB

Well first of all you make it sound like Al Sharpton was sent down all expenses paid by "te media" Secondly, what NBC edits and airs doesnt reflect what Fox does, what ABC does, what CNN does, what BBC does and so on. There have been multiple angles on this from multiple sources, so don't just lump it all as one big "the media"

That wasn't my intention of making it seem as the the media had anything to do with Al Sharpton showing up. They do in the sense of how they covered it non-stop. If this wasn't reported, he would never show. That said, I understand that not all the media did the things I said, I'm just saying "media" in a general sense. Just like not all the media stated incorrect facts during the boston bombing. Point taken though. I'll change that to a "some of the media" in regards to the points I'm making.

Here we go

Verdict. Not guilty.
