He was giving his reasoning to both attorneys and the defendant on why he wanted to answer the questions the way he did. So far, he has walked a straight line so appeals would not be his doing.

I will wait until the jury reaches a verdict before I call them all racist. If they don't convict, then it's obvious.

I blame the Prosecutors, in part, for the length of the jury deliberations. Giving that many charges, options, pages of jury instructions, etc. takes time if they are trying to make the right decision.

I think (and seriously hope) Dunn is done.

It seems to be setting up reasons for an appeal, should a guilty verdict be rendered. . . Journeyman Feb 2014 #20

I'm with you exboyfil Feb 2014 #22
