(11,065 posts)The jury instructions warrant Murder 1 giving as little as one second for a reasonable person to consider their actions, and I can see how there may be a split with some believing they have to go by the letter of the law with others just unable to not believing that a split second is long enough. I've thought all along that the premeditation aspect of this case was going to be the most difficult for the jury, and I still think that it is.
There isn't anything wrong with the justice system in Florida as it's basically the same system in every other state. It's how the various people involved whether a judge or an attorney or a juror or anyone else involved uses that system.
As for dying in prison if convicted on the attempted murder charges, I wouldn't be so sure of that. How often does a convicted person actually DO the time that they're given but get out early with good behavior or parole having done only a fraction of that time?
I REALLY hope that the jury doesn't hang on the murder charge. Historically, retrials result in lesser charges or even acquittals. I'll be far happier if they can agree on a lesser included charge concerning Davis rather than hang on that charge.
