Nothing like deciding a mans fate over a slice, amirite?

I'm pretty sure agreeing with you is prohibited by my internal programming, so I'm gonna have to go with a "No".

Is the Judge back?

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

In light of that question, and the prolonged deliberations, I am now revising my predicted odds as follows:

EDIT: corrected version is as follows -

- 45% - conviction for manslaughter
- 40% - total acquittal
- 12% - hung jury
- 3% - conviction for second-degree murder

I really do hate to say it, because I think Zimmerman is innocent, but I see it as fairly likely the jury will split the baby by convicting him of manslaughter at this point.

More on their question, but the delay is also problematic from a defense perspective. The length of deliberations is not especially surprising - this is a murder case - but it does suggest that the jury doesn't view this as a straightforward case of self-defense.

Somewhere in the hills of Kentucky, spidey is loading magazines, cleaning bores and swearing at the TV right now . . .

I'm hoping for a hung jury to do this all over again.

 

[Darkman]

OK.. I wasn't here ..

Are they done for today or not yet?

Negative. Still deliberating. It's been 12 straight hours at this point . . .

D'oh! Made an error in typing that out. My actual prediction:

- 45% - conviction for manslaughter
- 40% - total acquittal
- 12% - hung jury
- 3% - conviction for second-degree murder

That isn't a prediction. You'll be right no matter what they do.

As long as they are working there Nelson will let it go till 3 am..

Maybe they told the judge that they are progressiving .. and close ...

The whole thing is a human enterprise and, accordingly, unpredictable. Going into deliberations I thought a full acquittal was very likely - now I am far less confident of that. If my setting odds is not a "prediction," call it whatever you're comfortable with.
