Well no, Mass law worked. The standard Mass verdict form has the exact language the judge added. Actually she revisited the issue AND Jackson amended his request to match the language on Mass form verdict sheet. Claiming she caved to pressure is not only WRONG but IRRESPONSIBLE.
Why now, why not when they first learned of the text messages LONG before trial. What other "serious misconduct" was reveled to

I am not an expert but am adept at the human condition... I think it was the scoffing laugh of someone feeling righteous and abused by a corrupt system - someone who believed her lawyer's position that the form, as it was drafted, prompted the jurors to chose Guilty. It was
@Leopardo8
Can you expound on this. If they "discarded" the charged offense under count 2 (Manslaughter) why didn't they tell the judge (via their note) that they had a verdict of NG on the charged offense but were hung on the lessers? Also, if they "discarded" manslaughter, you would have

If enhanced dashboard video is not exculpatory in some way it should be excluded - if just an enhanced visual of area where the body was located or something inculpatory, it's too prejudicial bc defense has been based on existing evidence & too many witnesses have testified
@WMurphyLaw
Where are you getting these numbers?!? As an officer of the court, speaking under a profile indicating that you're a lawyer ... I would EXPECT you to have some facts to back up your assertion about the split. Please explain
I would just really like to see the defense give the judge additional grounds and avenues for relief instead of just a strict DJ claim based only on the argument that the jury came to a verdict. This way, if the judge denies the relief, the defense can get more issues before the

INTERESTING THEORY! ☝️⚖️

analyst, retired Lt. Mike Gould, is a Canine Expert. His opinion: John O’Keefe’s injuries were NOT caused by a dog, but rather by a *scavenger animal* when O’Keefe was lying outside on the lawn.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not think Julie Grant's post is helpful to the CW but speaks directly to reasonable doubt. Any expert opinion that the arm injuries were cause by anything other than the taillight is BAD for the CW who put in 'expert' trooper testimony to say the injuries were

Sorry all, I misread the original tweet. The 2nd degree Murder charge (count 1) stood alone, on its own verdict form and did not have anything to do with the lesser includeds on count 2. For the Murder charge, count 1, the ONLY 2 options were GUILTY or NOT GUILTY and there is

Not sure if Julie thinks this information is helpful for the CW. I do not, considering the CW put on an 'expert' trooper to testify the injuries were caused by the taillight as the car passed JO after colliding with his shoulder/arm/hand.
