I personally think it awful that manslaughter was added to the charges.

Travis must be turning over in his grave. I feel so sorry for his family and friends. Just dreadful what this witch has done .. and SO premeditated imho. Just the gas cans alone tell a huge story. Not to mention the stolen gun.

And I stand by what I said about an idiot in there....because I simply cannot believe what people DO get hung up on. These trials are becoming a joke...making a mockery of our system of *justice*.

I am stuck at work today..if a verdict comes in, please post it here so I can see what she got.....I am terrified this is going to be another Casey Anthony joke of a trial......

Verdict has been reached!!!!!!!!!! They said it will be anounced within an hour.

They didnt deliberate very long this is a good sign that perhaps she has been found guilty

That's what I'm hoping; I know I would have held out much longer if the majority of them were finding her for a lesser charge. Also, I'm relieved it isn't a hung jury. Bad news though, it will take longer than an hour, they are waiting until after the lunch break.

I think Juan did it!!

If so, he's Juanderful! :p

THANKS GUYS!! I hope Juan did manage to hit a home run with this one!!! (Cant you just hear her sassy cocky voice and see that smug, cold face saying, "No jury will ever convict me, I can promise you that".........)

I'm sure they thought of that. For being "so smart" she sure was stupid.

OMG VERDICT REACHED. Will be announced 4:30 EST. OMG.

AND OMG you already know verdict reached. OMG. I'm dying. I need to know NOW.

They say the jurors look relaxed and relieved, so my guess is Guilty!

What do you think...did they go w/ premeditated or not? I just can't decide.

Yeah, I would go with premeditated; I think Juan proved premeditated in three different ways. The actual planning of the murder and also premeditated doesn't necessarily take a plan, it can just be in seconds because the action was meant to cause death, like cutting the throat, or shooting in the head. I have to add though, I was so wrong with Casey's trial.

As a sister of a murdered brother and a murdered friend....I hold my breath. It needs to be life. In the course of my job I had to face my brothers killer, 25 years to life he did 35. I never told my father of that encounter that day and how I did my job and midway through, when he handed me his I'd, I realized who stood before me. I gave him back his Id. and In a manner I have no idea where it came from I began speaking to him, my hand was shaking, I had to speak...."You are very lucky to be out here again, I hope you have used your time to reflect on what you did and how it hurt so many people, my father has cried tears every single day since that day....(this was when both he and his parole officer realized who I was) I went on to talk and preach to him for a good 10 minutes...I was remarkably calm and I so eloquently spoke, from my heart and my guts....I don't remember every word, but I remember him making a promise to me, and I remember his parole officer hugging me and saying how wonderful I was...and I said "no I'm really not" my father would be so hurt to know I did this....I refused to let him see me cry but when he left, I ran over to my boss' office and couldn't catch my breath...the agony I felt because I forgave him and I couldn't tell my Daddy...This shouldn't have had to happen to me...though I believed every word he said to me, this man had a life now....my brother, my father, my family...we did not get a second chance....

Don't know why this brought this out of me I rarely ever speak of this...But I hope for his families sake she gets at the least...life....

The timeline you posted a few pages back, I don't know I think the average person could see the look of shock on his face then the pleading in his face, I could...I believe she taunted him with a gun pointed at him while in the shower, he never believed she would do it. But she is OJ and Casey....and so many other unpublicized people, I just hope she goes down for the count, she is a cold calculating, evil woman...through and through..

Personally, I can't see how they could face his family with anything less than premeditated

You are truly an amazing woman! Sending big hugs!

I hope this isn't a big disappointment and folks in Arizona know a cold-blooded killer when they see one and hit her with 1st degree murder. But I doubt it - just hope at least it's second-degree felony murder at least. If this jury gives this young and fairly attractive woman murder in the first, I'll be truly impressed with those 12 people. So few young, attractive "celebrity" types ever seem to get a tough decision by today's juries. Wouldn't it be great if this jury starts changing that where the evidence is so overpowering?

OMG! If this ends like Casey Anthony, I give up!
HLN has made this a circus, although I did keep up with the trial. Praying for a verdict she deserves.

On pins and needles here!

Criminey me too....

Oh wow, I missed your reply, I'm so sorry this happened to your family, but you really are an amazing woman and what strength you showed. I'm sure your words has helped that man become a better person.

:woohoo:

GUILTY in the first degree!!!!!!!!

I was certain Jodi said no jury would convict her! Could she have possibly been wrong??? Seems so, Jodi. Well, at least in AZ, you don't slaughter a man and walk! Thank goodness for that jury!!!

True Justice prevailed in this case..........

Thank God they got it right!

I muted the sound, hide the crawl on the bottom of my screen and just watched her face. Wasn't hard to tell what the verdict was by that expression after a few seconds. Uh oh - Jodi ran into some people she couldn't scam. I'm so pleasantly surprised and feel there is hope for our justice system now. Proud of Arizona and I'll bet this true verdict helps the taxpayers gag down that expense of prosecuting her a whole lot easier.

Finally proud of our justice system.. I lost hope after Casey Anthony. At the very least should have gotten endangering a child by not reporting her missing. But should have been found guilty!
Thank God this jury got it right!

Yes, I agree, I really lost faith in the justice system with that case, I now feel much better about it!
