they were against it, and the judge allowed it, and that perhaps could have been what was the tipping point because for two days really, yesterday and today, we had not heard anything from the jurors. they ordered lunch around 11:00 or so. they ordered sandwiches. we were told by the court sandwiches were being delivered and within about an hour or so after that we started to get a sense that something was going on and then obviously we got word that there was a verdict, but the attorneys were sort of they were kind of on edge, but they were confident because they thought that their self-defense claims and that the case that they put on was very good, and they thought that they were going to be, you know, in the end, they thought they were going to certainly win this case. if not they would certainly start arguing the mistrial motions and then direct the judge to overturn the convictions. i can tell you from this morning hand my last conversations with them, they were pretty optimist
with the unequal treatment of how to refer to the victims in this case and as looters opposed to victims. the instructions are a mess and did not have control of defense counsel. i couldn t believe the personal attacks and the defense attorney to say, oh yeah, there was a case once where somebody shot seven times and did nothing. so i think he is dangerous and i would be if i were the prosecution make me nervous that the mistrial motions are hanging out there. just seems to me just as a layman that usually those decisions are made before the jury starts to deliberate. maybe i misread that. usually but not always. okay. cynthia, you are the expert, and david and gabe on this from the beginning. thank you so much. the trump card.
lawyer, legal analyst. arthur, i don t know. if you were trying to save your client from the death accident your client told the jury through fox 10 arizona that she wanted to die, what do you do? they ask the judge, let us off this case. they ve done it i think the third time. they ve gone back in judge s chambers and asked to be recused. it s not because they re not getting paid. they re just conflicted. they have a client going on television saying just kill me, death is freedom. and now they re putting his client on the stand who is going to ask them to save her life. you re not allowed to put a client on the stand who you know is lying. so if the client confesses, yeah, did the murder, and then want to testify and say i didn t do the murder, as an attorney the only thing you re allowed to do is put them on the stand and say, talk to the jury. so they ve conflicted and making off as these mistrial motions.
