Yeah, I guess you could look at it that way. The state said they would re-try again if it was a hung jury. I don't know where this MA lawyer you speak of gets the notion that 3 or 4 retrials in MA is a thing. I've lived here my entire 61 years of existence, and I can only think of one high profile trial that went to 3 trials. Years ago, some guy was accused of murdering his wife on a boat and tossing her body overboard. The first trial ended up 6-6, the first retrial was 9-3 to convict, and the 3rd trial was 11-1 to convict. The state gave up, and the guy walked.

I don't know how one guy could be a plant for the prosecution. He'd still have to convince the other 11. However, it was weird. She just got finished telling the jurors that the 12 deliberating jurors would picked at random, then she went ahead and picked a jury foreperson. (Well, asked, and the person said Yes). So basically it went like: "We will select the 12 jurors by a random lottery. By the way, Juror #5, would you like to be on the jury?"

Oh. OK, then I hope the jury doesn't forget the instructions over the weekend. I assume they're not going to start deliberations on a Friday afternoon, are they?
-
I really don't care how this turns out, one way or the other. I just hope the jury was given correct instructions that they can understand this time, so there's no F up like the first trial.

Same thing for me. I was pleasantly surprised this morning. Every time I watch a team give up a game-tying goal in the last minute, I just figure they got scared, puked all over themselves, and will lose in OT.

Have you ever apologized to a GF from your past?

Just to tell her I'm sorry that her bulbous head would've stretched out the neck of my sweater. -
Yeah, I want to see McDavid get one.

Good for Ukraine. I'm rooting for them, but they can do it without my tax money

It comes mounted on concrete blocks. Customers provide their own wheels. -
My company repainted all the campus crosswalks in pride colors. We got an e-mail last week telling employees to exercise caution in the rain because people have been slipping on the newly painted crosswalks. I guess they're gonna be redone with new sand infused paint or something to fix them. What's a few broken wrists or dislocated shoulders? Our crosswalks are fabuloussss!!!
