with data. i taught fifth grade. i know how hard it is to teach somebody something. you have to repeat it over and over and over again. i m concerned about that. thank you. as it turned out, the jury reached a quick verdict. judge hoover read the decision aloud. we, the jury, find the defendant, jerry lynn burns, guilty of the charge of murder in the first degree. how did he take it, the verdict? i think he was shock, too. he was very much expecting to come home. don, you re in court, the verdict? i was surprised at the verdict. i had a hard time believing that the jury sat down and even reviewed the case. three hours. yeah. not even three. i couldn t believe they came back with the verdict they did. outside the court house, john and janelle were emotional. to finally have the closure on this and to actually know i wish my parents could be here to see this.
