Judge says he'd like to attorneys to remain in contact with his staff, be available within 15 minutes throughout deliberations

IMO the ones that are alternates are disappointed. They aren't treated "important" like the ones on the jury are....the jury gets a free lunch, parking and the alternates don't get to know what's going on either. Alternates are to get their stuff OUT and into another room.

So is Channel 7 now reporting each day here as we wait on the jury's decision? And to clarify, no court Friday so if a decision isn't made then 9am on Monday the 20th jury continues deliberations?

sure is a lot of reasonable doubt to me. im sorry the crime was horrible but the prosecution did not prove that he was not insane at the time of the crime

Thanks Channel 7 for the memories and insightful commentary with us that we've all shared during this historic trial in Aurora, Colorado! Thanks also to everyone that's commented during this 3+ months worth of trial.

King's p.j. comment just fell flat again! Come on...I'll miss this process, but not him...

Nelson's always had 1 foot in Appealate Court!

@Kristie.. they don't feed the alternates? Huh. What I meant is relief that they probably don't have to argue and deliberate and ultimately decide life or death. I know they said they could. but that is different than having to actually do it.
